Yesterday wasn't about schedules, deadlines, or checking things off a list.

It was about slowing down and being present.

We spent the day at the lake with our youngest son, his wife, and our two grandchildren, Scarlett and Cormac. We swam, caught minnows, built sandcastles, dipped our toes in the water, roasted marshmallows, and enjoyed plenty of s'mores.

As I watched these little moments unfold—the messy faces, sandy feet, curious hands, and carefree laughter—I was reminded how quickly childhood passes. The best memories aren't usually the big events. They're found in ordinary days spent together.

Grateful for family, lake days, and the gift of living in the moment. ❤️

Making memories today that will be treasured for years to come.

🌧️🏃‍♀️💨 Highland Conference Track & Field Meet – Evart High School | May 19, 2026 💨🏃‍♂️🌧️

The athletes of the Highland Conference battled more than just each other at Evart High School on May 19th. Cold temperatures, off-and-on rain, and strong winds made for a challenging day, but these competitors showed plenty of determination and grit from start to finish.

Photos from the meet are currently uploading and will be available shortly at:

A little disclaimer before you start browsing... 😄

You may notice there are quite a few photos of my granddaughter Bryn and grandson Connor competing in the shot put and discus events. Since Grandma was stationed near the throwing areas for a good portion of the meet, they may have received a bit more camera time than some of the other athletes. My apologies (or maybe not! 😂) for the abundance of throwing photos.

Congratulations to all of the athletes who competed through the less-than-ideal conditions. Your hard work, perseverance, and sportsmanship were impressive to watch.

Feel free to tag athletes, share with families, and check back soon as the gallery continues to upload!

What a night for track and field at the McBain Invitational on May 1!
The temperatures were cold, the wind was relentless, and conditions were far from ideal — but these athletes showed up and gave it everything they had anyway.

From relay handoffs to hurdles, sprints, distance races, and field events, the determination and toughness on display all evening was impressive. A huge credit goes not only to the athletes, but also to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who stood out in the cold cheering from start to finish.

Nights like this remind us that track season in Michigan isn’t always about perfect weather… sometimes it’s about grit. 💨❄️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

So many great moments from the McBain Invitational. Here are just a few favorites from the night! 📸
