So the late winter/early spring has been filled with some band concerts and celebrations. Isaac had a concert that we all attended.
Sam also had jazz band and concert band concerts!

We celebrated my mom's 75th birthday with a gathering at Maggiano's in Oakbrook with many family members there, it was a fun night!
In less fun news, the basement flooded (again). This time it was a singular blown fuse that caused all the drama. The usual routine of pulling out the flooring, removing baseboards and running commercial dehumidifiers has become all too familiar. Thankfully now we have strong young people to help us with all the labor.
Happy birthday newly minted teenager!
Mike got himself a pottery wheel and has started throwing some pots. Sam has also tried too!
Kittens continue being cute (and naughty)!
And, we celebrated this guy turning 18! Can't believe we made it here, but dang he's a good one! Happy birthday dude!
