July - September 2014

Late summer included some intensive ballet classes for Anna during July; also, Jack, Anna and Dad ran in the Zoo Run Run 5K.  We met up with our friends Ruth and Kevin with their mom in Washington, DC for lots of tours, museums and exploration.  We started up with school after we returned home.  There aren't too many pictures from late August into early September, in part because Kate fell and broke her left arm on Labor Day weekend.  She spent some time at Riley Children's Hospital in Indy, and she had surgery to place pins in her arms for a few weeks.  She's better now.  While she was hurt, she didn't want pictures with her cast on.  Jack was looking forward to soccer starting, and his team got off to a good start with the first few games at the end of September.
