Finally got my mom's hutch put up. It doesn't really fit there and I'm not sure where we're going to put the Christmas tree, but it's up. It's pretty empty, but I'm actually okay with that. It took 25 years to have a place to put those things someplace, they've been in a box since the early 90's, so it's nice to see them out.
Capri Suns, file under things I would have never let Charlie have at 2 years old....
Mom's shoes!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE IS IMITATING
We bought a pool. BEST MONEY EVER SPENT,
Bridgette and Mark, this was a snapchat that I thought was so cute I saved it. She's been in St. Louis now for about 6 months and is rocking it.
Charlie went with his dad for an overnight Boy Scout Bear Camp. Charlie had a blast, and even with all the parent mingling, I think Matt ended up having a pretty good time too. He really likes watching Charlie do his scout stuff
The freaking spider in their tent!!
Charlie fell down and ripped open his knee, of course, Matt got his camera out...
Charlie's is the far right. Not perfect, but all in!
Matt and Charlie were at a Boy Scout Camp, so it was just Maggie and I headed up to Solon to celebrate the Bartas. We spent a lot of time growing up in Solon and knew many of their old neighbors. As we got older, the time we spent there got shorter and the less we saw of their friends. It was a time warp seeing all of them at the party.

It was the most beautiful night for a party. This is really one of my happy places
Joyce had the old King radio restored. This is the radio that all the Barta kids grew up listening to. Joyce told me once that the linoleum in the kitchen was worn down in front of it from their dancing.
Eric trying to con Charlotte into getting him more chex mix. She did (after spilling it all over the deck and putting it back in the cup for him)
