It's Cherry Season

 

 

GIV - The Arts Institute

 

Kuba took part in a 2 week institute focused on the arts.
270 students from across the state took part. There were tons of workshops and classes and he came away enthusiastic and motivated by the positive vibe.  

 

Tis the Season!

I found the most fabulous berry picking patch way up in Westfield.  6 quarts later there were 7 jars of strawberry freezer jam, and a jammin' 4th of July birthday cake!  

Boom, Crack, Pop, Whizz, Fizz, Hiss, Sizzle, Crackle, and Roar.

 

On the boat this year with Morgan and Anders, with a beautiful sparkly cake.

James Beard Nominee and All the Perks!

Our amazing niece, Hannah Thelemarck is a chef at a restaurant out in Grand Junction, Colorado - Bin 707.

The head chef at her restaurant, Josh Niernberg, was nominated for Outstanding Chef, which is quite the honor!  Hannah traveled to Chicago with her team and attended this very prestigious awards ceremony.  

Not only did Hannah look completely gorgeous, she met the famous Swedish chef, Marcus Samuelsson!  See below for a photo! We are so proud!!!!!!!!

Welcome Summer! Hello Tradition!

For years we've been heading out to Waitsfield to get pizza and play.

We are celebrating the end of the school year and the beginning of summer.

It's just fun.  Plain old fun.  Games never get old and I still love those howling balloons.

 

YES! London 2025

 

As part of his end of year studies, Kuba did an overseas program to London (with a mini side trip to Paris) with a group of 11 students and 3 chaperones.  It was epic.  It was remarkable. It was 10 very full days.
LUCKY GUY! 

Here's a link to the details of everything they did.
