Elisabeth is 9!

Elisabeth is 9!! We couldn't be more grateful for you!  You are kind, loving, empathetic, creative, playful, competitive, a lover of all sports, a great reader and a absolute JOY to be around!  We had a great time celebrating you - a bike ride with cousins, cake at the pool, birthday breakfast with Dad and a shopping adventure with Omi!  You asked for a Rainbow high Doll and you were soo excited to get one that you could color her hair and clothes!  

Happy Birthday Elisabeth Jane!

 

Summer Kickoff!

SUMMER IS HERE!! Here is a photo dump of the beginning of summer! I LOVE when the kids are off school for the summer - I just like to soak up every minute I have with them on my off days - we like unstructured mornings and afternoons, we head to swim team in the morning, stay at the pool if we feel up for it or go home and chill or go on a different outing.  We may head back to the pool in the afternoon or evenings or spend time with friends in the neighborhood!  Summer is just the BEST

We took an adult bike trip for the afternoon and had a blast celebrating my mom or her birthday and mother's day!

We love lots of time in the woods and creek play!

We got to visit with Aunt Bjorg and Uncle Michael and Oma and Opa.

The pool and sun wears us out!

We went to the Hootie and the Blowfish concert with the Parcells and Freeze adults!  SUCH a blast!!

We got to celebrate Sarah and Norwin's wedding, and Jack and Elisabeth got to serve the mass
