June 2018: Bringing on Summer!

At the beginning of June, Cassidy and I joined a group of friends for the Taylor Swift concert at Soldier Field in Chicago.  This was Cassie's first concert and she loved it!  Taylor Swift puts on a great show and the girls had a blast singing along.






As the kids wrap up the school year, each class has a picnic and playtime over at Gillson Park.  Parents and younger siblings are welcome, so I always stop by.  They take time for a class photo each year.  These kids are getting bigger!  Tyler's class had an end-of-year celebration at school as he completes Junior Kindergarten.  It's always very sweet to see these little ones together and to snap some pictures with their beloved teachers.  Time to say good-bye to the school year and hello to summer!






Now that summertime has arrived, we are enjoying beach days!



Gavin's spring baseball team wrapped up another fun season.  What a great group of boys and wonderful volunteer coaches!


Gavin has developed a real love for baseball over the past few years and expressed interest in trying out for our local summer travel team.  We are proud of him for persevering though a challenging tryout and earning a spot on the team.  He's excited to represent our town and play the game he loves.  We are proud of his work ethic and look forward to watching him play!  We hope he continues to simply find joy in the sport and learns some of those great life lessons along the way that sports can provide.  Way to go, Gavin!
