Holding on to Summer

We are holding on to summer for as long as we can over here.  The hot weather has made that really easy.  We are just not ready to let go yet.  We have been swimming and going out to the lake and eating ice cream as much as we can.

Lake Life is the best life
We had a beautiful evening out on the lake


Everybody has settled into their school routine whether they like to or not.  Hannah is really liking middle school and I am so happy when she tells me a lot about school.  She thinks it's funny that she is learning things that the parents don't know/remember.  Ha!  Makes me think of that show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader".  

Evan has lost his first upper tooth and he looks quite funny now.  

Nora had dress up day at school.  It was Cowboy day,  but a couple days before I was searching for our Pirate gear and set it out for her.  Thankfully Nora remembered it was Cowboy and not Pirate Day.  Would have been kind of funny if she showed up in a Pirate costume.  

This picture showed up on my Time Hop and Nora couldn't stop laughing.  This was in Germany and Nora had asked to make her own chocolate milk and my mom turned around for a few seconds......

The family participated in the Glow Ride this year and it was a lot of fun.  We rode our bikes over to the 8th street market, had some food, decorated our bikes with glow sticks and then rode with a big group through town to Crystal Bridges for Light Night.

Hannah's wall with pictures of places she has traveled to is looking good.....

All the activities have started up again and we have been busy.
All three kids are playing soccer this year.

Nora is doing really good and loves it.  It is actually really fun to watch her team play.  Last week after every goal she scored she came running over to the sidelines and gave each one of us a big and a kiss.  It was really funny......you wold have thought she just won the Word Cup!
 Then Hannah told her to just slide on her knees after scoring, so she started doing that :)

Hannah and Nora are both doing dance.  Hannah is doing Hip Hop and Jazz/Tap.  Nora is in Ballet and she has started working on the Bar.  So cute!
She is also still doing gymnastics.  

We stopped for ice cream at Trash Creamery and the girls found these sunglasses
