Catching up, life in Marquette

For those of you who do not know, we are in Marquette for the month while Jim completes a rotation with the ortho group at MGH. Having lived here for two years a few years ago now, we have missed this place and could not wait for the chance to return. We have rented a house that we have made our home for the month and have been busy doing everything and going everywhere that we have longed for since we left this city. The boys have been having a blast and Ethan has enjoyed coming back to the town that he was born. We have filled our days with the children's museum, library, going to the various beaches, hanging around our house, hitting up all the local restaurants, and just loving being back together again as a family. If you ever get the chance to check out this beautiful city, please do, it is so worth the trip! Here are a few of our highlights while we have been here.... Climbing on the rocks Jim can't seem to go the black rocks without cliff jumping, two thumbs up. Caleb could put rocks in the bucket, walk the bucket to the water, and then throw the rocks in the water all day long! A lefty and a righty.
Ethan rode a small bike race, the Ore to Shore. He thought he was pretty hot stuff! Proof that baby Jastifer #3 has been to Marquette:)

Life is good

Love these boys!
