End of Summer

Here are some random pics from the last month or so. We had a great summer - it seems like the nice weather has been here forever, and that's saying a lot in Minnesota. After a few camps and sports the first half of summer, we spent most of the second half pretty unstructured, playing at parks, going to beaches and pools, and playing with friends.

Here's Ava with two of her biggest fans


Charlie's always smiling (except when he's not) :)


Riding a pony at Woodbury Days


Giving up the morning nap can wear a guy out


But a long afternoon nap can re-energize - yes, both feet are off the cushion!

Everyone's favorite...corn on the cob!




Next week, Ava is back to preschool three mornings a week. She'll do dance and swimming in the afternoons/evenings, and Charlie even has a few activities lined up: he's going to do a little toddler tumbling class, a baby storytime, and we'll do a drop-in playtime at ECFE. And, I almost forgot: Ava's birthday is in less than two weeks - that will probably be my next post.
As for me, I'm looking forward to monthly game night, book club, and moms' night out, as well as attending Wicked with a friend and going to a company party with Joe this month. And...the event we're all super excited for: Ben and Katie's wedding!!! Less than a month away...we can't wait!!! Happy Fall, everyone!
