Meg with a cicada


Welcome cicadas! We've got lots of cicadas here, but we're being told this pretty light for the 17 yr cicadas, so we're expecting more soon. Meg is loving it. She is always covered with cicadas when we go outside now.

This weekend we kept things pretty low key. Saturday's soccer game was rained out .Sunday we went to IKEA and then went to a bbq. Monday we made our very own art garden.

Blue Knight Auction Group

This weekend we headed to Lafayette for the 14th Annual Blue Knight Auction. We had some time to kill when we arrived so we took the kids to fly kites. It was the perfect day for it. The auction was fun and the decorations looked amazing. Mom did a great job. The kids enjoyed their night with a babysitter.

Sunday we left early to get back for soccer. This is an informal league where Zach can play too. He was very excited to get to play soccer. Sunday afternoon we worked on the yard. We've had so much rain lately that the lawn looks great!
