July is almost over and the summer is flying by. Soccer, Baseball and Volleyball seasons have all come to an end and everyone is already signed back up for next year. Lucy has been attending various college volleyball camps trying to determine if she wants to play at the next level. Max finished drivers ed and is starting to accumulate his required hours. Elle is trying different activities including volleyball and track & field. Calina and I are just trying to keep up with everyone's busy calendar!

Happy New Year... Happy Half Year... 2025!
Almost half way through 2025 already. It's been a year full of activities and adventures. A quick ski trip, a lot of soccer and volleyball, a big trip to Hawaii for Spring Break, a big pool refurbish project and a prom. Can't wait to see what the second half of the year brings.
Lucy and her new "Friend" Connor went to the Oxford Prom
Another Easter spent in Chicago playing Volleyball
The backyard is all torn up as we refurbish the swimming pool.
