Father's Day 2017

The girls love any reason to celebrate their special guy.  It has become tradition to take him to Bloomington for the day...of course it is a HUGE surprise every year! 

They never tell him what we are doing.  Just get ready and get in the car. 

We spend the day walking on campus.

The girls love to go to the Rose Well House where Daddy proposed many years ago. 

All because of that day we have all this!

The statues are always a big hit.

Beck Chapel is by far the girls favorite spots, especially when its empty.  

One of many weddings that we had that day. 

And anything that resembles a stage turns into an immediate opportunity.  

This year they even made it into classrooms to play school. 

This littlest lady keeps proving she can keep up with her sisters! 

It is always a perfect day for our favorite guy! 

Cousin Baylee's High School Graduation

Our cousin (Mom's cousin's daughter) Baylee graduated from high school  So we headed to Wisconsin for her party.  The girls were so excited to see all their cousins and check out a new city.  

We were so happy to celebrate Baylee!   She is so great with all the little cousins.  They all adore her! 

Ellenore was born just a little less than 2 months after Caroline.  I am sure these two will get into plenty of trouble in the future.  

Just like Claire and Emma.  (They are only 5 weeks apart)

This is what happens when you stay too long at a party and your baby gets a beer spilled on her.  You take a naked, sleeping baby home! 

The next day we explored Milwaukee.  It was a beautiful day and such a fun city.

We had to make an ice cream stop at Fair Oaks on the way home because it never disappoints. 

Last Day of Kindergarten and Second Grade

The last day of school is always bittersweet!  As we are so excited about summer, they also really miss going to school everyday.  St. Thomas is such an incredible place for our girls and our family.

Emmerson's Daddy Date

Better late than never! Our Spring was very busy and we just never got Emmerson's birthday Daddy date in.  So she was over the moon when he came home ready to take her out on her first week of summer. 

She wanted to try fondue after Claire came home raving about it. 

She came home a very happy 8 year old!
