Monthly Photo Dump

My family got together for a very fun weekend at Middle Island near South Bend. We borrowed my parent’s friend’s cabin and all four siblings + spouses and kiddos were all there with mom and dad. We spent tons of time in the water, played games until late into the night (late for this old woman), enjoyed some alcoholic beverages, did some synchronized swimming (you better believe it) and generally had a blast. My family is crazy and awesome. We also celebrated Lucas’ 15th birthday. Happy Birthday, Butch!

I convinced this sweet kiddo to be my date for my monthly trip to Kearney. This laid back mom (wink, wink) even let Jackson keep his Batman face paint on.

Occasionally we stop by church to visit Jesus and spend some time in prayer. This particular day, I caught Dominic and Leo praying together. “Mom, I prayed a Glory Be and a Hail Mary with Leo,” Dominic told me. Too sweet.

This is pretty much my nightly view. No wonder Luke has back problems…

Lucy’s go-to face right now. It’s awesome.

We had so much fun with the Guenthers. The kiddos played together while Katie and I talked and talked and talked and walked while we talked and talked some more. Lots of chaos and lots of fun.

Luke’s brother and sister-in-law trekked from the frigid North to Nebraska. We met them at the lake for an afternoon. We had 11 littles and 8 adults enjoying a great day on the water.

And this stud and I celebrated our 8th anniversary with a date night to the Speakeasy here in town. It is Luke’s all time favorite steakhouse. Frankly, I would have been content with McDonalds as long as my food was hot and I could carry on a conversation involving full sentences! Love you, Luke!
