Kicking off August

We started off this month by taking Cassidy to YMCA Camp Eberhart in MI for a fun week of summer camp with 2 of her great friends!  This will be her 2nd year as a camper at Eberhart.  The week started off smoothly, we dropped her off and she had a few days of pure summer fun...however on Thursday we were notified that a high number of campers had come down with a terrible norovirus and we needed to head back early to pick her up!  Luckily, she was not sick, but they decided to close the campgrounds early to do a thorough cleaning.  So, while she did enjoy the few days she had, it didn't end quite as nicely as it began.  But now she's back home, and we are enjoying having her around again!




Erik and I celebrated our 14th anniversary on August 9th!  The years just add up quickly!  I found it fitting that his sweet card read, "Can't believe it's been 13 years!"  Ha ha - that's because it hasn't, it's been 14!  We got a good laugh.  We had a great dinner out to celebrate.



And the picture below sums up summer!  We had a backyard BBQ with 4 other families who we enjoy so much.  These are all the kids in attendance.  We had a substantial chunk of the sidewalk covered in chalk.  Ahhh, relaxed summer fun!
