The end of summer was so lovely. We had a few more Lauren days. We enjoyed taking her to the forest preserve to see the elk.
And a quick stop just outside of Legoland to see the big giraffe!
And a quick smoothie before nap!
Isaac and Molly have reached some kind of agreement where he gets to pet her and she doesn't whack him in the head, so that's great.
More Lauren time!
We had a girl date to Bison's Bluff - she loved the stream!
One of Isaac's summer bucket list items was Urban Air. Sam and Isaac really enjoyed their time there!
One more bday celebration for Sam! He got his own mortar and pestle so he can make some mean guacamole!
Noah decided to get his ears pierced. He didn't even flinch!
Isaac dual wielding the cats!
I finally had my much delayed due to lack of lasers ear surgery. Fake stapes bone is working great now!
Another end of summer bucket list item, trying out the local Menchies Frozen Yogurt!
First day photos! Noah the sophomore...
Isaac the 5th grader...
And Sam, the newly minted junior high kid in 7th grade!
So now we are all settling into the business of the school year. Mike took on a couple projects around the house, including this accent wall which turned out great!
Sam, Isaac and I did a quick lake trip over Labor Day weekend and got to meet Po the elderly chihuahua who was so sweet!
And now here we go for rodeo! September is wild!
