The Parrillo Family

It was just two short years ago that Eloise "Bridged" from Daisys to Brownies .  Today, she "Bridged" to the real thing:  Girl Scouts.  And if there are horses involved, you know what that means:  Grammy should be present!  Congrats, Eloise.  So glad you are part of your troop and working together as a team every month. 

Another annual tradition with Sadie taking part in the Benet in their cheerleading camp - and cheering on Nat's redwings at a Friday night football game.  Here she is with her friend - who is the daughter of Nat's good high school friend. Just like I'm indoctrinating the kids with Illini football , Nat's doing the same with Benet! Here's the photos from 2017 when she did the same camp .

Today was Frankie's turn for his 'First Day of School' as he got all doll'd up in his favorite shirt (a Hawaiian shirt from our trip to Aulani earlier this year) and his favorite hairstyle (a Fauxhawk) and went off to five-day-a-week pre-K school at Bethel in Westmont. Here are the photos from his "First Day" in 2018 - one year ago .  He's grown quite a bit! Of course, he got the whole sidewalk chalk treatment from Nat - to send him on his way!

We wound down Summer at the Lake House in Wisconsin with the Foxes and Morans.  Salad days indeed.
