Summer break is over :(

All good things must come to an end. Our summer was mostly good....well except for the part of the kids spending way too much time together and fighting more than I could tolerate. We got through it and managed to have plenty of fun. School starts tomorrow so that means routines, schedules, homework, soccer, soccer, dance, pack lunches, earlier bed time, continued marathon training, etc....
 
Here is a look back to some fun we had in July and early August.
 
 
4th of July was fun.
We spent it with family at the Webster Groves parade and then with friends at fireworks.
 

 
A pic of Bob and I from my cousins wedding (at a winery).


 
The kids and I went up to Chicago for a quick visit to spend time with my friends and their families.
 
 
I am so lucky to have these ladies in my life and for so many years!
 
Marina, me, Pam, Becky, Venessa


 
And our kiddos are lucky to have each other too. :)


 
Bob and Lucas went to a Cardinals game a few weeks ago. Lucas only made it to the 5th inning that game but they went again last weekend and were spoiled in a suite and Lucas loved it and stuck around till the 8th. 



Addison started off her first season of soccer with her first practice last week. Seems like a great coach and great team. Total bonus...Addison is on a team with her BFF and some other friends from school.
 


 
Addison and I really ended the summer off right over this past weekend.
We went to Chicago to the Taylor Swift concert!


 
The night was even more special to share it with Becky and Venessa and their girls.

 
 
It was such a great show!!!!!!! I am certain it is a night we will never forget.


 
Today we checked off our last box from our summer fun checklist. 
 


 
It was a fun summer and it is very bittersweet that it is over. Here come 1st and 2nd grade. Can't wait to start thinking of what lies ahead for next summer's check list.
