September 2025

 

Drew's birthday celebration at school.

Hard to beat seeing this at work.


Surprising Mom and Dad for Dad's retirement celebration.

SLAM day in the Lower School.








Having fun with Hannah and her buddy.

Looking like a future teacher here.

Sometimes the music just hits you during PE.

Coming up clutch in the blindfold putting competition!

August 2025

 

Spending time with Granma and Pop Pop.








This feels about right.


Happy birthday (5), Drew!










First week of school (7th, 6th, 4th, and JK).


Staggered start, so Drew's first day was Jason/Rosie's 2nd, and Luke's 3rd.

Fun to now add Drew to the group I run into during the day!

Jason and Rosie's first ever cross country meet!










Drew trying to figure out how he grows once he turns 5.

July 2025

Also only with Lauren--first stop of the summer road trip turns into a family run.

Visiting Ohio Wesleyan.


Trying to keep Mommy from getting arrested.


Hambo Inn




Some mean looking gargoyles.




Pretty funny considering Lauren got a ticket for jaywalking while at OWU.


First of 3 theme parks 





Face reflects how I was feeling on the ferris wheel.


Luke was the 500,000th ride on Gatekeeper for the summer!


Wasn't really much of a thing at the time but feels like I have to post given the meme.



Taking over downtown Chicago!






Drew looks terrified. I think I am more so.



Waiting for fireworks.


Wisconsin Dells with the Ross fam!

Pa Ross was pretty impressive on the arm hang!



Jason won the family challenge on the climbing wall.


Both of us at our limit on the log flume.

Cincinnati was the last stop of of the road trip. Next taste test...Gatorade.


So great to have the Guldseths come down and visit!

Lauren and Courtney chilling on the tree swings.







The man does like to twist his hair.

Mommy is totally normal...




This was an experience.


How we all felt after the Guldseths went back to MN.

So exhausted after the road trip and the Guldseth visit, this is how they fell asleep. Such a great summer!

Drew locking back in as JK is around the corner.

1st dentist appt!

Drew and Luke reenacting Lauren tripping on campus and for some reason calling out to anyone in the area to see if anyone saw it.


Driving like a pro.

Luke and Jason cooking a bunch of 3-5 year olds.
