Keeping Summer Alive

Even though it was technically the end of summer in late September, the weather was still hot and sunny, so we pretended we were still in full summer swing.  Can never get enough!


Friday night date night - sunset cruise and dinner out at fun place in downtown Libertyville





The sun is going...

Great Grandma Della's BD Party






Ballet started up again and Claire & Alexandra's classes are back to back.

quite the tomato and zucchini bounty from our garden

Matt had this amazing idea to have an outdoor movie night.  He set it all up as a test run and it worked awesome.



On the actual night of our event we had an incredible turnout and it was a fantastic time.  Seriously one of the funnest events we've hosted.  A night warm night, tons of kids running around outside, a bonfire, and while the kids watched the movie quietly the adults could all hang out.  Perfect!


Matt even got this popcorn maker from a garage sale, which added to the party ambiance









First day of soccer for Claire!


Great Aunt Barbara's surprise 80th bd party in WI.  We don't get to see my Kurz side as often, it is always so fun!  Nora and Claire are always joined at the hip.





We went right to Aunt Susan's house to celebrate Grandma Della's birthday

Happy number 92 Grandma!!  Wow!


Dance party


Went for a nice hike with Mom and Dad on Sunday 






Free walking root beer floats, score!

Soccer for Luke on Sunday

Luke can do the entire monkey bars now, amazing.

Our little Cub Scout!  He is so excited about joining the Cub Scouts.
