Lake Lansing Park

I understand Talon and Gage hosted a fabulous birthday party at Lake Lansing over the week-end. I was in Chicago, celebrating my friend Lynn's big 5-0 Birthday! Pete and the kids had a great time as you can see in the photos! Happy Birthday, Sweet Boys...and on to a great year of being 3 and 1! We love you.

School's Out!

Everyone was thrilled to have school end and summer begin! Buffy can't wait to have school start in September so she can go with 'the kids'. I am delighted to have everyone home and be off to the lake for lots of swimming, fishing and summer reading!
Maybe I'll be ready to have school start and everyone gone all day in September---but I never have been so I'm not planning on it---just enjoying every day of sunshine and playing!
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer!

JUNE 1ST DANCE RECITAL

Lilly, Jane, Alex, Ben and Buffy all had their dance recital the same week school ended for the year. I don't know whose idea that was---but it was really difficult to get in all of the school end of the year activities, a dress rehersal (those are when the dancing pictures were taken) and a recital!
The kids had a ball. Alex and Ben were being treated for strep throat but were troopers when it came to getting on stage.
It was a little tricky getting all five of them dressed and made-up with hair, etc., but it was fun.
They all did a beautiful job and all of us who went, enjoyed it, too!
This was Lilly and Jane's fourth year of dance. Alex and Ben's second and Buffy's first year.

More Spring Soccer!

I just found these pictures I took of Alex and Ben in their Spring Soccer clinics. They had a ball every Tuesday night for about six weeks. They learned more about kicking and goal tending and how great the orange slices taste after the game! What fun they had playing and we had watching!
