{Playing Catch Up}

We must have been having some serious summer fun lately, because it's been over a month since I've updated the good ole' bloggity-blog.  The truth, both good and bad, is that I've been so busy taking photos of other people's children, I haven't had a chance to sit down and fill everyone in on what's been going on with the Thuenemanns!

We'll start with a super fun, super hot, birthday bash for our good friend Aiden.  He turned 5 at the end of June and we were fortunate enough to be asked to celebrate with the Chretien family and a few close friends!  Remember how I was all worried about the heat for Brynn's outdoor birthday BBQ at the end of May?  Well, take the heat from that day and add about 15 degrees of awesome summer swelter and you'll have the day of Aiden's birthday festivities.  Oh.my.gosh.  Like a lot of the country, we've been experiencing record heat in the mid-west:  100+ degree temperatures for days at a time with no relief!  I guess that's what they call the dog days of summer :)

Water tables, kiddie pools, and squirt guns kept everyone cool and the kids could have cared less about the heat.  We enjoyed good food, great company, and the best birthday cake.  You know it's a good party when Olivia throws herself of the ground, whining and crying when it's time to leave.
