Claire signed her first check.  Aunt Jill wrote her a check for her birthday, and she purchased a used iPod shuffle from eBay.  It was fun walking through the bidding process with her.  She compromised on the color she wanted so that she could stay within her budget.  Dave Ramsey would be proud. :)

Two boys with their new toy.  There are benefits to having your friends as neighbors.  (And I just love how Josh and Brian are dressed alike...so sweet.)

We caught up with our former neighbor, Kay, for some conversation and a round of Sorry!  What a sweet, sweet lady.

We loved cuddling with little Nick this summer.  So precious.

Potty training.  We spent most of the summer working on it.  We're quitters.  Cleaning up Olivia's number twos a few times a day for 10 weeks straight makes us quitters.  I'm okay with that.  We certainly earned some points for our effort.

Our girls and the neighbor girls chalked the sidewalk at the lake.  It was so cute...the photo doesn't even do it justice.
