Cousins together

We had a loss in our family last Tuesday.  Mike's grandfather, Papa Bear, passed away.  While Kristin and Mike went to say goodbye to him, I had the honor of watching all four kiddos.  Beckham loved watching the big kiddos and chasing Trudy around the playroom!

Last weekend of Summer

Since Kate starts Kinder on Tuesday, this was her last weekend of summer.  We went to the circus on Saturday and had a great time!

Then on Sunday, we went to see the play Robin Hood and then to the kids dentist off for a Frozen party.

Even though I am still battling a sinus and ear infection, I think we all had a great last weekend of summer!

Meet the teacher

Kate and I went to her "meet the teacher" night at school Friday night.  She was happy to see her classroom again and to see where she will be sitting in class.  She is between two boys in the front of the class!

Dino Park

Gram and I took the kiddos to the Dino Park!!  Super fun!
