We're obviously doing the two parts of the family thing pretty solidly so here are the younger 3 in their halloween costumes. After I took these pictures, I added eyes and mouths to the ghost costumes so they looked less KKK. Did Enoch wear his costume again after I took these pictures? No, he did not. Not even on Halloween. Unsurprised.

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.

Our dear friends joined us for our last day at the lake. We played so hard all day and watched the sun set over the lake. Forever grateful for the best of friends.
