End of Summer

After we got back from St. Louis, we had about 2 weeks left of summer before school started! It feels like we crammed so much in to those last few days!!

We celebrated National Night Out for the first time as a neighborhood! We even won a catering package for our block party! It was great to see so many of our neighbors come out together and socialize!


We had a fun beach day in Indiana with some of Jade's friends from school! The weather was beautiful until we got caught in a massive down pour on our way out!





Nate and I got to our 2nd Cubs game of the season, this time against the White Sox! Unfortunately for us, the Cubs had recently traded away all our favorite players and didn't play great, and it was super humid out. We still had fun nonetheless, but not nearly as much fun as Jade and Jemma had at their sleepover with Grammy and Grampy! They even got to sneak in a park date with Aunt Mar!


Jemma lost her two front teeth within days of each other! She was super excited to lose the 2nd one while at Grandma and Grandpa's house for a sleepover! Coincidentally, Jade lost a tooth at the sleepover too! :)



Jemma was invited to a birthday party at the American Girl store in Chicago! We decided to make it a whole family trip, and while she was at the party Nate and I took Jade to Harry Carry's Restaurant and Chicago Sports Museum. Afterward, the girls played at a nearby playground!











Jade's Girl Scout troop bridged from Brownies to Juniors and had a fun backyard party for the girls and their families!



We wrapped up summer with some back to school shopping, ice cream and parks!
