Petite Panoply

Oops. I forgot to post last Friday. I had the idea that I'd have a ton of time to post and tons of things to post about over the summer. However, I've either been too busy or so boring I have no content. Oh well! I'm sure I'll be getting dressed much more often once I start grad school. These pictures are from last Thursday in Chicago. We went to see a free jazz band concert at Millennium Park with some extended family. I always enjoy seeing free concerts there. We saw The Decemberists backed by a full orchestra there a few years back and it was amazing. This concert was wonderfully not super crowded and the music was great. It made me want to pick up my trumpet! Unfortunately I didn't bring one to Illinois with me! And I also never really played jazz music.

My graduation wouldn't have been any fun without my family being there. My favorite pictures were ones with them and with Matt, so I decided I should post some of those. You'll probably notice we're not a serious bunch. However this first picture is my favorite picture of me and Matt ever. Family picture time! We like to think of varied and unique poses to keep the pictures interesting. I like to call this one "check face". It's a classic. This one is the result of a surprise piggy back ride: I hope you all had a nice weekend! All of my graduation festivities are over after my party yesterday. I'm pretty sure I won't subject you to any more graduation pictures. Thanks for all the congratulations! 

My sister turned 18 today! (Technically yesterday according to the time, but this is my post for the 6th.) We had a nice, relaxing day which included dinner at an awesome new restaraunt called The Local Republic. Afterward Jeanie had a bunch of friends over and we had cake and cookies. While driving home from dinner we noticed there was a dinosaur friend planted in our front yard. A plethora of pictures followed that discovery. (check for more pictures with Jeanie's birthday dino after the break) Homemade mocha cake with pudding filling and whipped cream frosting. More?
