So.....

So, where do I start?


Julie moved into a great house....my old house, as a matter of fact...


Maggie, Fin and Hen and I walked to the lighthouse


And boarded a pirate ship....aye...


Henry tried to wake up a statue...no, he wasn't making out with it...sure looks like it though...


Finley and Sadie continued their summer of fun


The amazing sunsets continued....painful, right???


My new bedroom at the cottage progressed


Quite well I might add.


And I am not the only one who likes it


They did not like this chair however....


Mad had fun with her friends...


Doughnuts were miraculously delivered...thanks Jamey!


How do you contain a crawling Tal at the beach? Dig a hole and put him in it. He loved it. Not child abuse.


Hen came home for a week...we bonded. Ok, he and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle bonded


Our CrossFit THRIVED!!! Am I proud!??? You betcha!!!


Lucy Regina, Finley the page


Kelly, Maggie and Mindy....firm friends


Oh yea, our Olympian


Julie went all high class on me, her driveway patio


Sue and I enjoyed coffee downtown...


We went to the Illinois River...rather fitting that Illinois beach toys are farm toys. #andontheeighthdayGodmadethefarmer


Sue, JB and Kathy.





A successful Third Sunday


Where I thoroughly enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich, which is sooooo important to know.


Nail night at home with Chelsea and Angie


And Adam...so no, he didn't get his nails done, he enjoyed the beer and pizza. And delivered sweet corn...about the best I have ever had. God bless our American farmer


My third Sunday table took on a new hue of blue....what??? You did not know I was this artistic????


Angie, and Max. CrossFit kids....I think???


Cole and I went to Florida...for a special event


McKeanna and Eug got married!!! A perfect, perfect evening


Five and Kirsten


This my friends is how St. Augustine does a car wash...


We toured the fort


And hit the beach for a perfect day


We ended the weekend at The Ale House in Daytona


Madeline went to Lollapalooza with Ana and Chelsea


And met Finn....!!


Richard painted Rowe Inn, and I cannot wait to go back!!!


Cheers!!

Summertime is still calling...

We attended a wedding....





Maggie and Sue


And liked the band so much that it looks as if they may be coming to a wedding in Michigan next summer.


CrossFit at the Y is going great guns


I took Henry for a haircut...this is momentous...he sat still and actually got a haircut!


Henry, Adam and Cole


Proof that laughter is the best medicine...Fin and Hen with Sadie


Oh, and another sunset


Kate, Cole and Emily


We have watched Henry fall asleep


Over and over...

We celebrated the 4th of July


With my girls



Sadie and Finley


Maggie and Tal





Jon, Jim, Kim and Greg


Beach time





Finley and Jon. Yes, she is rather obsessed with Jon. Like, over the top crazy about him.


Sweet baby Tal. As his brother and sister say, the squishiest baby ever.


Cole and Kate, a typical evening at the cottage...


A pre sunset shot


I'm not THE only one who takes sunset photos, Mary does as well!


Nan and Sue. The old gang was all together.


Cole had to leave, and went to Nebraska City. This is his rental car.... For work....


The lodge he is staying in....and this is all for work.


Bad Mimi, they rode in the front seat, ok, we only went about 90 feet, and we WERE looking for deer....


Success on the side of the road.


A beautiful blustery day....


And if you can't sleep up here, it's ok...this was the view of the lake from my bed at 3:00am. Yes, summertime is fine with me
