Emma was able to ride on a school bus for the first time this week! Her preschool class went on a field trip to the orchard and she had a blast. When we pulled into the parking lot at school she saw the bus and said, “Mom, is that it?!” I told her that was the bus she would ride and her reply was “it’s amazing”. Emma attends school with our good friends daughter and Addy was nice enough to send me this photo on the bus!
Our annual trip to Apple Jacks was so fun this year. We all had a blast and brought home lots of apples.

Miss Norah is now 3 and such a joy to have in our lives. Sweet girl you make us laugh everyday and we love you so much!
She picked Baja for her birthday dinner!
She got a new sleeping bag and LOVES it!
Emma had been looking forward to going to school all summer and finally the day arrived. I was so happy to see her excitement for the next stage of her life but I have to admit it was hard to see her this grown up.
We had amazing weather on our trip and spent one day hiking at Gooseberry Falls. If you ask Emma what her new favorite thing to do is it would be hiking. I love her excitement for nature.
We also had a chance to canoe on a river that was close to the lodge we stayed at. Another great memory from this trip.
We had a great trip with my parents to Lutsen this summer. We discovered that Emma loves to go hiking and Norah will never pass up a chance for a campfire and S’mores!
Fog on Lake Superior that morning was so cool.
Collecting rocks to throw into the lake was “SO FUN” according to Emma.
