Hard to believe my itty bitty baby is now 8 years old! Maeve is a really great kid. She's funny and fun. She's a good friend and she has the best laugh. Maeve gets to be one of the main characters in an upcoming 2nd grade play and I'm very excited to watch her performance. I'm curious to see who Maeve grows up to be, but I'm not in a rush!

We carved pumpkins while Conor was out of town for work. We split into three teams of two and did our best! The kids did alright! It was fun!

My darling baby girl is 15! We rode the Hiawatha and Nana, Papa and Felix came in town. Holly wanted worms & dirt for her birthday dessert, it's kind of her signature. That and Texas sheet cake. She wanted bike supplies for her birthday (check!). And soon she's going to learn to drive. I have heard repeatedly how wonderful it is to have another driver in the house and I can't wait! Looking for a second car.

Naturally, Holly wanted to do something bike related for her birthday so off to the Hiawatha Trail we went. We borrowed a trailer for the boys and enjoyed the day! It was a gorgeous, warm day.

At some point over the summer, I created an album called, "Ira Sleeping," because he falls asleep all the time. Chronically overtired, but has major FOMO.
