Grandma Bastian and Uncle Dan visit Michigan

When Brayden was born, none of Dan's friends believed that he was an uncle. So he had to take a picture of Brayden to school to prove that at age 8 he was an uncle. Now at age 10, he is taking being an uncle very seriously. He's great! He and my mom came out to help me because I had surgery. I had a tennis-ball-sized cyst on my left ovary that needed to come out. By the way, I don't really recommend surgery. This was "minimally invasive," but it was not fun! So my mom and Dan came to take care of me and the kids so that Mike could continue to work hard being a full-time student. It was great. I'm a little hazy for part of their visit, but I am so glad they came. Here are some of the highlights.

This is my favorite picture!!! Dan jumping over the sprinkler.

All the fam.

Little side note: I was still TOTALLY drugged at this point. You can probably tell from the picture.

Summer Time



Now that summer weather is in full swing, Brayden had a couple friends over to celebrate. Zoe and Charlie came over to play in the sprinkler with Brayden. I think they had a blast.
