Finally!

so, after 4 new teeth, 5 weeks of mommy not sleeping, and 2 colds (one for each kid), I'm finally able to post! to say that July was hectic for us is a huge understatement. First, Claire spend all 4 weeks of July at Drama Camp. Monday thru Friday 9am to 3pm. She loved it. She wanted to go for a third session! maybe next year.... lol (grandparents...send gift certificates for her birthday and Christmas! lol) She will be taking 2 classes with them this fall. She is loving all things theatre..who knew! lol

here she is on Team Spirit Day (can you guess what team she was on?) She made her own shirt and hat and picked the fabric for Mommy to make the skirt. Good thing she was on the same team for both camp sessions! lol


Since camp has been over, we've been battling colds, fevers and TEETH! of course, everything has to go in the mouth...even UNO cards...


I don't remember if I posted before about my grandfather passing. We got to North Dakota late on a Saturday evening. We spent time at the hospital on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. Wednesday I said goodbye to my aunts and cousins and grandma and grandpa and headed back to Minnesota. He passed away on Saturday night. We got the news at the Susan Komen Breast Cancer walk at the Mall of America.

this is my dad, me and the kids, Grandma Betty and Grandpa John.

now, its time for bed, Dustin is calling for some mama snuggle time! :)
