Safety Town


Last ballet class of the school year






Safety Town - a one week camp Luke was in with the rest of the 5-6 year olds in the area it looked like!

Graduation from Safety Town




Had fellow Safety Town Graduate Eloise and her parents over for dinner/swimming afterwards

Beach day

The water was in the 50's and Claire was actually swimming for a little bit - I could hardly even put my feet in

Impromptu get together with the Ruzila's and Hartman's again

G&G Mackus return to the Midwest

Mom and Dad came back to their home in WI and came through LF to spend a lovely evening with us mid-week.  The weekend was pretty low-key and fun.

Floridians are back in action up North

What kind of smile is that?

Chatting with Dad by the new fire table

Claire insists on sleeping with Grandma :)

Luke's program for his Friday class at Starland "Rock of Ages".  We signed him up for this because it was at the same time and place as Claire's ballet class.  He sang and danced all semester long to rock songs just loving it, but then kind of froze up during the final performance.


Lake Bluff block party with friends on Friday night

Taco night from the local place

Tree monkeys

Soccer Saturday!

Emil and Claire played soccer together for almost an hour, it was adorable


Starting to rain



Last soccer of the season means trophies!!!

The rest of the day it was rainy and cool so we took the day to organize all of our millions of toys.  What a mess!!  I wanted to give away some of the toys we have, especially the ones the kids have outgrown, but getting the pieces back to each of the toys to even give away was a feat unto itself.  


Dinner party at Lisa & Steve's house on Saturday night with two other couples

We had an awesome time and the wine flowed a little too easily, we decided to Uber it home!

Lisa and me

Little Guy and Big Guy! and a leg leech

We hit the Botanic Garden on Sunday

PEONIES!!!!!!

Still obsessed with peonies in case anybody was wondering
