Biking with Aunt Larissa
Aunt Larissa took Shecklet #4 on a bike ride this afternoon. They went to the “big park” and #4 played on some of the equipment for a little while before they biked home. Chilly ride, but glad they got some fresh air.

Gnome walk with friends
One of the local suburbs sets up a gnome walk in different city parks. Today’s walk was a small/short one, but just enough for us to get a little fresh air before going to the indoor playground. These kids crack me up!
Snowshoeing ❄️❄️❄️ Skiing
I took Shecklets #1 & 3 to meet up with Aunt Larissa for a snowshoe walk this afternoon. It was so nice to be outside and get fresh air!
Meanwhile, Jake took Shecklets #2 & 4 skiing.
Friends since…
The later 2000’s. The adults met at SJB when there were only 4 kids between the 6 of us. Now we have 10!
It was a lovely day for a walk at Bunker Regional Park followed by dinner out for just the adults. Lots of laughs, which were welcomed by everyone.
Visits before moving
The girls and I spent most of Monday making memories with our friends – making slime, going for a walk, playing at the park. They are moving out of state next month. Jake is helping them by driving with his friend in one of their vehicles. (I can only imagine the conversation that will take place over their two days of travel!) We’ve been given an open invitation to visit them once their house is built and they’re settled and and we plan to do so. They’re moving somewhere warm, so a winter visit sounds pretty irresistible.
We’ve watched these girls grow up – have actually known them since birth – and are going to miss them and their parents so much!
2nd park day
Two days. Two parks. Two moms. 8 kids. The fact that this group of kiddos get along so well is a rare feat we don’t take for granted!
The last time this crew was together was back in July 2020. Needless to say, they’ve all grown a bit since then!
Gnome Walk
One of the neighboring suburbs organized a gnome walk along a trail in one of the parks. It was so fun to look high and low for the tiny and larger gnomes. We were supposed to find 15, but only located 13. The other two were apparently well hidden!
Labor Day 2019
We spent a good portion of the day at the park with friends – frisbee, fun and food! This was the first loaded up grill – gotta feed the hungry frisbee players!
Fishing
Friends from school suggested we meet at the park/lake to play and fish. It was a beautiful night and lots of fun! (Cut a bit short by a brief but intense thunderstorm.)
Shecklet #3 and I were the lucky fishermen of our family. 🎣
I ended the night (after the kids were in bed) with some fresh air amidst the croaking frogs and humming air conditioners.
