Lars on a bike

Lars drew this picture after I took him for a bike ride this morning. So proud of him!

Double win!

Hannah and Megan both took first place in their races this afternoon. 7th grade and 9th grade wins. Fun!

Smoothie buddies

First tooth out for Rachel

Colorado retreat

Garage work begins

Lars had a great "first day of school" this year!  

Rachel drew the diggers working on the garage site. Good-bye trees!

Mushroom hunting

Musssels

Rachel thinks mussels are delicious! We read a book about a little girl who gathered muscles under the ice, so Rachel wanted to try some. Yum!

Up too late

Hans likes a little special time with just us. After all the other kids fall asleep he often comes out for a visit. Eating blueberries and looking at the Lego catalog. 

Our First Triathlon

Today our family did our first Triathlon! Mom, Hannah, Megan, Luke, Lars & Della all finished with great times all around! Dad and the rest of the gang were our Cheer & Support Crew. We spent the day in swim suits & triathlon suits, biking at full speed, running, being with friends, cheering, switching from one sport to another and overall, having a great time together.
