Sibling Bonding

It's been fun watching Kate and Jack play, negotiate, fight, hug and enjoy each other this summer!

 Morning snuggles :)

 Water fun

Getaway

We enjoyed our Wisconsin trip with the whole Sand Family so much we decided to extend it a day!

 We started our trip at a train restaurant we were sure Jack would love.  Certainly he would have enjoyed it if he didn't have a yet-to-be-diagnosed double ear infection.  Thank you, Sheboygan Urgent Care!

School's Out For Summer

3/4 of us are on summer break and Drew is not far behind!  We are looking forward to lazy mornings, playing outside and, as Kate so eloquently declared, "Doing WHATEVER we want."

 Kate dressed up for Farmer Day at school.  She was looking a little more cowgirl than farmer to me, but cute nonetheless.  

 Our happy, handsome guy

 Last day of school for Kate!

 "Mom, I'm shocked that you don't want me to stand in the kitchen sink."

Is it Summer Yet?

Grateful

I am grateful for having the best mom.  I am grateful for grandmas who set the bar high.  I am grateful for a wonderful mother-in-law.  I am grateful for supportive friends and family who are on this mom journey with me.  I am most grateful for my two favorite kids who, on most days, seem fairly satisfied that they are stuck with me as their mom for eternity.

Why have I been blog slacking?  We've been busy chasing these cute faces around!
