Ken &#038; Sherry"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Enzo and I decided to stop over at Ken and Sherry&#8217;s place near Kalkaska. \u00a0I heard that Eric&#8217;s family was there, and I wanted to see the girls. \u00a0I also wanted to check on the progress of the house construction, which has been moving quickly. \u00a0I was there a few weeks ago and the wiring and plumbing were being installed.<\/p>\n<p>The insulation is now installed, and sheets of drywall were on site, waiting to be hung. \u00a0When I stepped inside the house, it was very quiet due to the insulation. \u00a0In the guest bedroom, I noticed baby Jocelyn Rose swinging in her baby swing. \u00a0She was awake and looking around, so I got to hold her for the very first time. \u00a0She&#8217;s such a sweet baby girl.<\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn&#8217;s big sisters Adriana and Sophia had spent the prior day on the water, tubing and swimming. \u00a0Keeping the tradition alive, little Jocelyn got to &#8216;drive&#8217; the boat from great-Grandpa&#8217;s lap. \u00a0Adriana is quite a little archer, too. \u00a0I watched her practicing with her bow and arrows under Grandpa Ken&#8217;s guidance, hitting the foam targets very consistently.<\/p>\n<p>Adriana and Sophia got a quick tour of the crawl space, which they called the &#8220;basement&#8221;. \u00a0Sophia asked why there was sand on the floor of the basement. \u00a0So cute.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2240 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon
