We've had a fun time this past month! We had four seats to a Tigers game earlier in the month, so we took the girls for a fun night out!

| Baseball! |
 |
| Best friends? |
 |
| Ready for foul balls |
 |
| Sadly we lost, but did their best with the rally caps |
Andy's family was in town for a week, so we got to hang with them a bunch!
 |
| DCFC! |
 |
| Making some music |
 |
| Zoo trip! |
 |
| I count three dinosaurs |

 |
| The only kid of mine that would dress patriotic |
 |

 |
| Sassy sparkler |
 |
| These are the moments |
 |
| Loving the view |
The kids and Jamie went to camp a couple days each week, and as usual, they loved it... well, Jamie didn't love it necessarily, but the kids were very happy!
 |
| Rain or Shine, time for camp! |
 |
| Yeah, she might be from the dark side |
 |
| Ben loves to help vacuum the art room after camp |
Ben learned some language, singing "One Small Voice."
We had a really fun night out at Jimmy John's field. My mom planned an outing for St. Michael's 50th anniversary, so the family had fun getting together. Maggie was up north with a friend for the week, so Evie got to bring a friend along for a fun night and a sleepover!
Some others:
Evie brought the sass with "Respect."
Maggie sang "Build Me Up, Buttercup" and was very happy when it was over!
We celebrated birthdays for my Mom, Will, Jamie's Dad and Violet in the past month!
