2013 Year in Review - September


More time with the "kids."

We officially bade farewell to the best summer with one last stop at Petersen's.


Dad and Dan put the final touches on the steps and we asked Dad to do the honors of checking it off the list.  Also, was able to fulfill my dream of pretty mums on pretty steps!




I tried my hand at grape jam - it was tedious, but good!





Cub Scouts started!




We had a block party and played basketball in the street.





We celebrated Dad's birthday "Chicago-Style."  Berghoff's (German meat, anyone?), Giordano's, Garrett's, Magnolia, Palmer House, Millennium Park....











Cross Country started for the boys.  Dan helped coach and, while it was only for third grade and up, they invited Caleb to join the team as well since he had been practicing with the team.  He was over the moon.  They both did a great job with their 1-mile races.






We had a visit from very special friends and their girls!  Dan and Justin have been friends since 6th grade and we were so happy to have them here and meet their little ones.









MORE cross country (pre-race jitters).





A visit with my college besties - my how we have multiplied!




My sweet cousin Hannah's baby shower (aren't she and Ashley so pretty?) and a picture of my mom and her sisters.







Aaaannndd more cross country.
