Leaf Piles!
Fall 2016 Lawndale Block Party, with a visit from the Wilmette Fire Dept. |
Gavin smacked the pinata open - it was a mad rush for candy just after I clicked this photo! |
Cassidy and Erik, along with good friends, went to WI for a Daddy/Daughter YMCA overnight! This is a photo of swaps - the girls can all bring a bag of trinkets and small items from home to trade. |

The dads and girls bring pumpkins and carve them on site. They had a great time! |
Playtime with Jort |
Playtime with James and Sam |
An evening at the Schouten's house |
Chalking with neighbors |
Tyler helped me make pumpkin pie! |
Cassie took part in her first Irish Dance competition, called a "feis." This one was Halloween-themed, so all participants are instructed to wear their Halloween costume! |
Cassie received a 3rd place trophy for her "reel" dance, and 4th place ribbon for her "jig." We are proud of her hard work over the years and also of her bravery to compete! |
It's very rare these days that Tyler would fall asleep on my shoulder for an afternoon nap...a precious moment. |
And we do have a photo of Erik's high school reunion, after all! I mistakenly thought he hadn't taken any. Cheers to 20 years since graduating from Hinsdale Central! |
