November

What November looked like:

A mad scramble to finish the basement (didn't happen), a family fun Thanksgiving and birthday, and the arrival of some snow!

Fall in da Yoop

Our fall was full of leaves and pumpkins and costumes. And strangely devoid of snow. As it should be. 

New Beginnings

September was beautiful and busy. 

We started school, split wood, played at the lake, chased rainbows, built the basement, pressed apples. 

August

It's not very exciting just titling each post by month, but it is direct, right?

In August we finally did what I've been dying to do for years: nothing. I cleared the calendar and we had free weekends to do fun stuff or house stuff or just enjoy the amazing, bug-free best of the UP summer. It was spectacular.

Camped and swam

Finished summer camp!

July

In July we celebrated with fireworks in town, finished up some great soccer seasons, visited with friends, stayed cool in lakes and rivers, and picked blueberries. We also did some family bike riding, which was a huge success as O gets more and more comfortable on the bike!
