It's Been A While

Blog writing has been at a minimum lately, my apologies. Here are a few photos and updates.

Spencer turned 15 on August 6th! He is enjoying an extended summer. We found out last week his high school won't open on time due to flood damage. They promise Sept. 13 as of now, but parts of the renovation still won't be complete. Should be an interesting year.

Spen has kept busy this summer golfing, attending driver's ed classes and volunteering at the Siemens Water Technologies lab at UW-Milwaukee. He rides his bike to most of this stuff so he is staying in pretty good shape. He also helps us with Claire 2 nights a week.

Nana Barb and Grandpa Joe stopped in last Sunday for a quick visit. Claire loved "riding" in the laundry basket.

Claire and I leave tomorrow for a solo girls trip. We are flying to Rochester, NY to visit with two of my college friends and their kids. I am a little nervous about the flights, but plenty of kids and moms do this all the time. I know we will be fine and each flight is only an hour. I am really looking forward to the visit. I can't wait to meet the new babies (almost 2 and 3 now!) and catch up with great friends.
