Labor Day in Kansas

This year we celebrated Labor Day weekend with a birthday party on a beautiful late summer Kansas day. The drive into the big town was breathtaking. The sunflowers, goldenrod, and tall grasses are so pretty. For me there is no sky that compares to the wide open blue of our prairies.
The party was held at my aunt and uncle's house. They have a backyard that invites relaxation and pleasant conversations.
We always bring lots of fun toys out for Evie to play with. This time Joseph seemed to have as much fun as Evie with the Duplo train tracks.
Boys and trains, not many things are sweeter.
The birthday girl and her boyfriend. I can't believe how old we are all getting.
My Oma. So lovely and elegant.
I hardly held Bea all afternoon. It was such a wonderful treat to see Joni and meet her girlfriend Peanut! We can't wait for them to move back in this direction. Bea was so content to cuddle and be snuggled.
Everett was thrilled to have Joseph and Joni play catch/chase the big blue ball.
He loves running and he certainly got his fill on Sunday!


One of his favorite toys is the pink Barbie Beetle convertible. He loves to take the "girls" swimming.

I love Joni's new haircut! She looked so happy and wonderful.
