It has been a very special month of memorable gatherings with family and friends. Charlie graduated from Kindergarten this month and we are so proud of our big guy. He thoroughly enjoyed this school year and has made some great friends! We kicked the summer off with a get-together at our home with seven of Charlie's school buddies and their families :)
Charlie and Tommy have started ball for the summer and Andy, Luke and Ellie have fun watching their big brothers play the game. Charlie was born with ball in his blood and is in his glory now that the games have begun for the Green Dragon Warriors! Tommy likes t-ball this summer and is having a blast hitting the ball and running the bases with his team; Golden Rainbow Thunderfish (I just love the names 5 and 6 year olds come up with)!
Other highlights this month include trips to Valleyfair, days at the zoo, splashing in our new pool, playing with neighbors and enjoying time at the neighborhood parks.
July birthdays were celebrated in Northfield this month for Charlie and his cousin, Anthony. It was a fun weekend with the Auge family that included a graduation party, a Baptism for two cousins and the birthday party!
Grandma Sheila and Papa Bill came to visit us this month and we rented a pontoon on Prior Lake! This was the first boat ride for both of the boys and they even drove the boat!
Charlie and Tommy spent a few days in Des Moines with Grandma Sheila and Papa Bill and had a blast at the golf range, the park and the swimming pool!
We also took a family vacation to Omaha to see Aunt Lori, Uncle Joe and cousins Andrew, Matthew and Zachary. Even though our stay was short, it was action-packed and we look forward to seeing them again soon!
