Pumpkin Fun

I went out of my comfort zone and let the kids paint pumpkins. As you can tell, I made them take off all their clothes even though it was washable paint. We turned our heads for two minutes, or David was busy grilling, and they were covered in paint…Started painting themselves.

Rocket Man

I got tickets to the Elton John concert and David couldn’t go due to having class so big Al took his place. Just our luck we got upgraded to front row seats for having a ladies night out. We even got to meet up with Katie and Jack who of course were there also even though it wasn’t a Garth Brooks concert.

Hair Donation

I did it again! I donated 11 inches of my hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I told myself last time that I wouldn’t do it again but ended up doing it again. I told myself this time that I wouldn’t do it again so guess we will see what my thoughts are in two years when my hair is really long again.

Charlotte's First Cardinal Game

This past weekend we took Charlotte to her first Cardinal Game and she did great. We had dinner before we went, the kids eat all the snacks I brought and we still had to get Benjamin a hotdog and both of them ice-cream. It was perfect weather and the Cardinals even got two home-runs so we got to see the fireworks. To top it all off they even won the game which we rarely see!

Jane Louise Haupt

The Haupt Family grew a little bit more with the addition of Jane Louise born on August 25th! 7.9lbs and 21.75in of pure cuteness. She is just perfect!

Eclipse

On Monday, August 21^st we got to experience a total solar eclipse. We luckily were in its path which started on Salem, Oregon and stretched all the way to Charleston, South Carolina. The totality only lasted about two minutes which during this time you didn’t have to wear your glasses.

David came over to my work so we could watch it together and enjoy the pizza party my company had to celebrate it.

Bruno Mars!

David and I headed to Chicago to see Bruno Mars in concert. Now you can’t take my opinion serious because I don’t go to many concerts but it was by far the best concert I have been to. We got to visit with David’s good friend Sandeep and his wife Lalita. We went on an architecture boat tour which I have always wanted to do and then went to this new restaurant called Duck Duck Goat which was amazing food!
