Matt and Cassandra's wedding weekend.

After months of anticipation and excitement, Matt and Cassandra tied the knot. Their wedding was near Glencoe, MN (about 1.5 hours west of Minneapolis. We stayed in a small Air B&B in Wakonia, MN as lodging closer to the venue was almost impossible to find. We enjoyed the small town/suburb with lunch near the lake, playgrounds, and plenty of R&R, it was really a great little get-away. The wedding weather was perfect, the layout was lovely, the kids held it together for the first half of the ceremony, but crumbled during the second (hangry + wedding is a hard concept), we were happy to sit long enough to hear Dave do a reading (Sully was so proud) before we made a swift exit. The speeches were incredible and the dance (the small portion we made it to) was hopping- I was so bummed that we couldn't last even a smidgen longer (the kids were spent). Overall, it was a beautiful day. We're so happy for Matt and Cassandra, and that she is officially part of the fam.

Greta starts preschool and other Munce happenings.

Greta started her last year of preschool with her typical excitement and charm...until it was time for us to leave. Ugh. She is going four afternoons a week this year and I'm optimistic that as she gets into the swing of things, she will be great.

We've also been filling our time with family picnics, more karate, soccer, piano, and now gymnastics (for the girls) and ninja academy (for Sully). We are officially booked solid this fall and anxious for the kids to start finding some faves so we can start weeding some things out.

Catching up with some photos.

Impromptu Brookings trip. 
Four super scary dinos.

One on one afternoons with my Piper. 
Greta gets in on the action this year! Go Starbursts!
Post game exhaustion - it was 90 degrees (in September)...yuck.
