Life on the River

It's been almost two years since I last updated our blog. Oops! Needless to say, I'm not very good at this blogging thing. But now that we live far from the city, where the craziness of live calms down in the country, perhaps I will have more time to write. Or at least make more of an effort to do so.

I changed the name of the blog from "life on diamond" to "life on the river" after our big move to the Thornapple River in May. Miles couldn't be happier living on 40 acres on a beautiful fish infested river. Either could I. I am sometimes overwhelmed with how blessed I am to have this position and to have this beautiful home as one of the many perks of the job.

Our Family Room. Although I LOVED the hardwood floors at our first house, I am loving having carpet again!


Our kitchen has counter space AND a dishwasher. Oh. My. Goodness!


The Fishing dock in our backyard. Miles happy place.
His first catch of the year!
 Life on The River got a whole lot better when we impulsively decided to get a puppy after the first week of camp. We went to a shelter with intentions of getting a two year old stray, but after seeing an adorable puppy full of kisses, we couldn't resist. With the help of my staff, we named him Charlie, after Camp O'Malley's founder, Charles Winslow. He is such a good puppy, and is loving his role as Camp O'Malley's new mascot!
