We tried our best to squeeze in a little extra summer fun before the start of school.
Oliver and Luke helping me clean up the van.
Amy and I were invited by some neighbor friends to enjoy a lovely day on a boat in Lake Michigan.
It happened to be same day as the Chicago Air show! What a seat!
Gloria participated in a fun local theater production of Fame.
She did a great job!
Luke and I enjoyed a fun and fancy sushi meal. A new favorite for Luke!
Back to school time! Gloria geared up to start 4th grade.
Off to great year!
Our middle schools got ready next, to start 7th grade. Oliver.

Ready for a great year!
We took care of a large tree removal matter in our yard -- great to have done and fun to see happen.
Gloria is back at it with soccer, and showing some amazing moves.
Star player!
This girl turned 9!
We celebrated with a fun backyard party with friends.
The party featured fun craft projects -- exactly as Gloria loves.
It also included a fun egg in spoon relay race.
More crafts!
Rain showed up, but that only made the musical chairs event even more fun.
Pizza!
No party is official without a pinata.
Never send these two to Hobby Lobby and expect that you won't see a trunk full of fun new things.
More fun celebrating
Fun around Oak Park. Luke.
Gloria.
The birthday fun doesn't end! Amy turns 43! Fancy breakfast on the back porch. A beautiful ,restful Labor Day for us to use as a celebration of Amy.
