Eggcellent Easter
We celebrated Roan’s first Easter and Lake’s third in the sunshine- I am thankful for the beautiful weather we had over the weekend because of course, we met Monday morning with snow. Lake’s pants and shirt are both from Janie and Jack. Roan’s outfit is from Marie Nicole.

Disney 2022
Lake’s second trip to Disney (at 2.5 years) and Roan’s first trip to Disney (at 7 months) was one to remember. Lake is very in to Toy Story so the Buzz Lightyear ride in Magic Kingdom and Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios were his favorites, along with the Star Wars area at Hollywood Studios and all the “Sausage sandwishes” AKA cheeseburgers. Roan was such a little trooper and was the happiest girl all week. We all loved wathcing them both have fun. I am so thankful for these memories made with our kids, my parents, and my grandparents.

Happy Halloween 2021
Lake LOVED Halloween this year- I spent the week talking up his costume, teaching him about trick-or-treating, and getting him excited. It worked. He went as Chewbacca and Roan spent her first Halloween as Baby Yoda. Zuma of West Lafayette went as Zuma of Adventure Bay- Let’s Dive In!

The Skeltons: Family and Maternity Pictures July 2021
Thank you so much to Lindsay Kokopa Photography for the amazing pictures of our growing family. Lake’s maternity pictures were taken on the beach at Lake Michigan, so I wanted something similar to that feel but unique to baby girl. This perfect spot on a Geist Reservoir dock felt so right. The water was gorgeous and Lake loved counting all the fishies around the shore. I canot get over how big my Lake looks in these pictures, taken just before his second birthday.

Lake Does Churchill Downs
I have been envisioning Lake’s first trip to Churchill Downs since before he was born. I ordered this tiny and perfect pink seersucker suit for him when I was pregnant, picturing him at his first Kentucky Derby. What I didn’t envision of course was a pandemic- The derby ran without spectators last year and this year, there were too many unknowns to anticipate if going would be a smart idea for us, especially with a toddler. We decided instead to once again attend Churchill Downs’ lovely Mothers Day brunch a week after the derby. We have been before, and done the Father’s Day edition too, but certainly never had as…
