Vedders Chronicles

Today we visited Michigan – Land of Riches which is an art exhibit inspired by the spaces and exhibits left behind inside the former Grand Rapids Public Museum.  I think it is safe to say that everyone should check this one out.  (I apologize for the picture quality in some of these shots, the lighting within [...]

With the closure of I-196, Nathaniel and I needed to find a new route to his school in the morning. While our usual route isn’t actually closed, it is an unofficial detour for the construction project. With a little creativity, Nathaniel and I have crafted a path that avoids most of the delays and actually [...]

A warm March evening inspired the Vedders Family to take a walk down town.  The boys started out on their scooters and Mackenzie slept in her stroller while Monica and I walked behind.  Other than some tired feet (and some blistered feet ) everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.  For our first real walk outdoors we [...]

The Vedders Family had a very busy Halloween Day.   The day started with a Boy Scout Popcorn sale at Lowe’s on Plainfield Ave.  The weather was cold and windy, so not much popcorn was sold, except for a nice couple from Walker who drove all the way to buy some popcorn (thanks Papa and [...]

Over the next few days to weeks, you may notice some changes to the Vedders Chronicles.  I am in the process of transitioning the site from a WordPress hosted site to Blogger.  You may be asking yourself why I would do such a thing, but really the answer is quite simple.  For the first part, [...]

Merry Christmas everyone! The Vedders Family had a quite a surprise when we awoke today. Down stairs waiting by an empty plate of Christmas Cookies we found a note from Santa himself. It read: Merry Christmas Nathaniel and Zachary! The cookies you left for me were very yummy in my tummy…I can tell that you [...]

Nathaniel preformed with his classmates from Knapp Charter Academy on Monday December 15. This part of the program featured the first, second, and third graders at the school.
