The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Andy was super nice to me for this birthday! He even took me to the beach.

Is this the very definition of “it’s the thought that counts”?

Let summer begin!

While I was with John at a baseball tournament, Andy and Laura attended the Bar Mitzvah for Akiva Trachtenberg. Akiva is the son of one of Andy’s fraternity brothers. I would have liked to have gone as well, but I am glad that Andy and Laura got to go. It was a new experience and they both enjoyed themselves.

I am hanging out with these two in O’Fallon, Illinois, tonight.

We officially have a Junior and a Freshman at Hickman High School.

Our usual celebration picnic at the Big Tree could not happen this year because it was raining. Instead, we enjoyed some family time at our table. It was not quite the same, but we still made the most of it.

School is officially out for summer!

It is time to go through the pile of stuff that always seems to collect on the kitchen counter.

It seemed like a good day to make some homemade granola.
