The Brinker Bunch

Loved having our friends Mike & Katie Brinker and their three girls up here for the weekend from IN.  They are such fun, easy houseguests.  The Bullock's came up to spend the afternoon with us too from Naperville.  Super fun!

In other news, Luke lost his front tooth this week (specifically on August 17th).  He was shy about it so wouldn't let us take a picture of it.  The tooth fairy wasn't quite prepared for this event, so only had $5 in cash lying around.  We set expectations that front teeth are very special and get more money from the tooth fairy than regular teeth:)


Home of a future Cherokee Elementary Cheetah!  Kindergarten is starting SOON!!
Claire went right into the pool after our drive home from Michigan.  It was very refreshing and a beautiful day.  

On Sunday we went to cousin Brad and Nikki's house for Uncle Mike's surprise 70th birthday party.  Claire zonked out in the car and kept on snoozing throughout half the party.  

Tyler, Dottie and Nora are so big!

Tyler is about to become a big brother!  Kevin and Julie are having baby boy #2 in the Fall.

Train toys are their fave toy, they go to them immediately upon arriving every time.

Luke got to go fishing with Dad, Grandpa Emil and Uncle Garry.  He caught his first fish!
