Low Key Fun

Matt went to Purdue to hang out with his friends in an RV (obviously).  They had a full tailgate set up and then attended the football game.  While he was gone the kids and I were quite social, with a Kellogg girls brunch in the city and then a birthday party in Kenosha, WI.  Fun times!  Matt was back Sunday morning so we still got a full day to hang out as a family, and while Claire napped Matt took Luke to fly his model rocket.  They had a blast, pun intended:)

These days at night, since she has had a nap and isn't sleepy, Claire will try to make me laugh while I lay with her.  She does these strange voices, and flubs her lips and says (like she's scolding somebody) "Stay still!  I'm trying to clean your teeth!!"  Then she cracks herself up.  I have no idea where she got that from, but it makes me crack up every time too.  On the 20th time she does it, if I don't laugh because I'm trying to get her to calm down and go to sleep, she orders me "Laugh, Mom!"

These Kellogg girls sure know how to procreate.  And we're even missing 3 kids due to illness, and there's one on the way!

Cousin Lila's gymnastics birthday party

Meanwhile, in West Lafayette

The RV was pretty crowded, so Matt chose to sleep in his car.  Chilly!!

Matt's grandfather's urn was moved so that when Grammy passes someday, she'll be next to Granddad.  They had a short ceremony for him that Matt went to during the week.

I had an offsite meeting at a vendor's office on the Mag Mile and the views were beautiful

Mid year report time.  Claire is doing great.

Luke is also doing well in school.
