School Happenings

A police officer visited kindergarten (Charlie's fun teacher, Mrs. Heil, is in the drivers seat) and Nick and Claire brought lunch for Charlie today.

Memorial Weekend

It started out with two sick kids so we got some things done around the house.  Then we went camping for a night.

We went fishing on Monday.  

Caption for this picture: We have fun and Nick does all the dirty work.  Fishing with kids is great!

Earning His Keep

There's lots of cleaning up to do with the basement getting finished.  Charlie wanted to earn some money so Nick asked him to vacuum.  After about 5 minutes (and an unfinished job) he came up and wanted to get paid.  Ummm, no.  I don't think so!

Dance Recital

Dress rehearsal was Wednesday and the recital was today.  We're very proud of our little dancer!

The Claire Marie's

Look at that form!

Watching the big girls during the dress rehearsal

Planting Weekend

We managed to get everything and plant despite the never ending rain!

Preschool, here she comes!

Her backpack and matching lunchbox came in the mail.  She is so excited to start school in the fall!

Another Perfect Weekend

We went to the camper on Saturday.  The mission?  Find morels!  The boys did great this year with about 3-4 pounds.  These are a couple I found...

We hiked around the Gamehaven Reservoir on Sunday and then came home to hang outside and grill.
