Even though the lake was low, Katie still had fun playing with her cousins!
Holding hands with Jorie and Grandma is a great way to walk to the water.
A highlight of the trip was singing songs with Papa and Grandma before bedtime every night!

Visit to Minnesota
We had a great trip to Minnesota in August. It was so much fun to stay with Grandma and Papa Tews, play with the Schwabs and relax! We can't wait to see everyone again soon!

Random August Fun
Here are some assorted pictures from fun we've been having in Chicago. Even a Gophers dress!
The highlight of the end of the month was Katie starting a sort of mini-preschool program. She goes twice a week for an hour a half. The parents are required to stay in the waiting room the whole time, but we're not in the same room and the kids don't know we're there. Katie LOVES school! I was nervous dropping her off for her first day, but she just said "Bye mommy!" and trotted on in without looking back. Now she asks every morning if it's time for school. No surprise that the highlight of school is the juice box she gets during snack time.
On the way to a street fair.
Riding a pony!
Giving the pony a pat and saying thanks for the ride.
Here she is, the child her mother said she'd never dress in pink...complete with totally pink computer.

First day of school outfit.
Posing with one of her teachers, with her art work she created in class.

Late July visit to Indianapolis
I know we have a lot of catching up to do here, so I'm going to post these in several posts. In late July, we traveled to Indiana, where Katie spent the night with her Grandma and Grandpa Henn and Mom and Dad travelled on to Bloomington. We were engaged there 5 years ago, so it was a really cool chance to see the campus again and go back to the place where we got engaged (and, for David, a major highlight was 2 visits to Laughing Planet for burritos).
We spent the night in Bloomington and played golf on the IU course the next day, and Katie didn't miss us one bit because she was having such a blast with Grandma and Grandpa. They blew lots of bubbles, played with sidewalk chalk and the sprinkler and generally had a great time. Thanks again Grandma and Pa!
