Loons Weekend

We had the most fun with friends at the Loons game in Minneapolis over the weekend. Six soccer families coordinated the weekend (thanks to Katie), we stayed at the Mall of America and the kids swam, ran the halls, rode the rides, screwed around, got into trouble, and watched the Loons win while the parents let them run the show, and made their own connections and memories. There were loads of kids, everyone fit just right and it was just the best. I realize it may never happen again, but I sure hope it does.

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a lovely and full Mother's Day Weekend, we did our annual Avera Race Against Cancer 5k, but this year, our whole family participated which was really fun. The weather was amazing, and the community feeling is really what its all about. After, the girls and I went to a few grad parties and to Sephora while Dave and Sully (and Jeff and Anna) went to a Loons game to see them play against Messi(!!), followed by a Twins game.

Sunday morning was lovely, the girls made me a modified breakfast in bed, we went to have coffee with my mom before Dave and Sully returned from Mpls. I worked in the yard for awhile, took a nap, and we went for dinner at Inca. Win win! 

I'm so thankful for my family and out tight little connections, grateful for my amazing mama, and for my sis.

Alice in Wonderland

Greta made her Spotlight debut as a Blue Flower in the their spring performance of Alice in Wonderland. After seeing Piper in a couple of performances, she finally mustered up enough courage to try out, and she was so happy she did, she had the best experience. She started rehearsals in February and the performances were the first weekend in May, so she was busy in a great way. We all loved the songs and dances and were literally bursting (tears streaming down my cheeks) with pride. We love her so much. A great big Thank You!!! to friends and family who came to support here, it means so much to all of us.
