a day at lakeside

one of our favorite places.  lakeside.
we went up for chip richter's concert the beginning of july.

we had fun riding the golf cart...

playing shuffleboard...

 a picnic dinner and the concert!

 and what's a concert without some video?

we are already planning a return day trip once the busy (hot) season is over :)

pre-soccer

i'm not feeling the love for my blog these days.

but i am feeling the love for these kids.

(sporting their hand picked get-ups.)

and the little man's soccer shoes... at least 2 sizes too big.

and the little lady's personality... at least 2 sizes too big.

and our house... which is almost always this messy.

and our days... which are almost always full.

these kids make everything worth it.
i love them so so much.
(and their daddy too :)

(here they are waiting to leave for soccer practice.)

rollerblading...

i came home from a jog to these little rollerbladers :)

we are so looking forward to more rollerblading weather!!

let's go Spring. we need you.

chip richter concert!

We were so very fortunate to welcome Chip Richter into our home last weekend!

For a very last minute in home concert :)

(I think some of my most fun decisions are made last minute ;)

We had an awesome group of family and friends show up!

We sang, and danced, and smiled :) (and of course we ate ;)

Cohen and his (my) cousin Jack listening very intently.

Lilly and her new friend Winnie singing along :)

We ALL had an amazing time!!

Thank you Chip. We had a blast.

Same time next year?
