This summer I have been following my kids around the tennis courts- they love to play and I don’t mind sitting in the sun and watching the game.   We celebrated my daughter’s 14th birthday-the boys made her brownies and a happy birthday banner while I was taking her out to eat. She was so surprised-I passed down my 18kt gold Indian chandelier earrings to her and we wrapped up the magical day by watching her home birth video!   The highlight of the summer was hanging out on Lake Michigan with the kids-one of my most favorite things to do.  I hope you had a great summer too- right now we are getting ready for fall, my son is composing some new music (the first time in four years!)  and my little one has just learned how to do the dishes… monumental indeed : )
