Celebrate good times

This weekend my college roommate Lauren came to visit with her family!  It’s been over 10 years since we graduated, and it was so good to catch up and get to know her little kiddos!

Brunch buddies

On  Sunday we celebrated my nephew’s 6^th birthday!  Jamie picked out his gift, which was a real dinosaur tooth and a little dinosaur excavation kit… I did not think it would be something he wanted, but Luke said it was one of his favorite gifts.  Jamie is great at thinking like a 6-year-old boy!

For he's a jolly good fellow!

Best way to practice excavation is with ice cream

Poor Sarah...

One of the only smiles we could get out of Luke

Maggie’s dance class was finished, and she wanted to continue, so we signed up for another 3-week course, 2 days a week.  She had her first class yesterday, which seemed to be a little more focused on dance.  Maggie enjoyed showing us her new moves, and was excited to dance with the barre this time.

This is also Maggie and Jamie's last week at camp.  Maggie was one of the youngest campers, and we were proud of how well she did at camp, and heard several times that she is a very good listener!

Very into apples

When a fire truck services ice cream... best idea ever.
