Happy Labor Day!

This Labor Day, we’re taking a well-earned break to honor the people who keep our communities moving forward.

Our office will be closed on Monday, September 7, and we’ll be back on Tuesday, September 8, refreshed and ready to tackle the to-do list.

Until then, we hope your weekend includes great food, good company, and absolutely no spreadsheets.

September is home to some truly remarkable moments in history. From breakthroughs in medicine to the furthest reaches of space, these are the kinds of milestones that remind us of what becomes possible when human ingenuity, courage, and determination come together.

Here are three we are celebrating this month:

🫀 September 2, 1952 - At the University of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota surgical team (Drs. F. John Lewis, C. Walton Lillehei, Mansur Taufic, and Richard Varco) performed the first successful open-heart surgery using a technique called hypothermia, often called “code chill” or “code cool,” to temporarily stop the heart's blood flow.

🚀 September 5, 1977 - NASA launched the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has since become the most distant human-made object ever to travel through space. Onboard is the Golden Record, a carefully assembled message from Earth intended for any extraterrestrial life that may find it.

🏗️ September 30, 1935 - In the middle of the Great Depression, construction on the Hoover Dam commenced, a monumental feat of engineering that was finished two years ahead of schedule.
These moments continue to inspire us to think bigger, reach further, and never underestimate what is possible.

Which of these September milestones resonates with you the most? Drop a comment and let us know!

The deadline for Q3 estimated tax payments is September 15, 2026. This payment is based on income earned from June 1, 2026, through August 31, 2026. For those who make these payments, staying current can help minimize potential penalties and make year-end filing more manageable.

If you would like assistance confirming the amount to pay or reviewing payment options, please contact our office. We are happy to help.

As summer slowly gives way to fall, we are reminded that change can feel a little easier when we are surrounded by strong friendships. This month, we are sharing a story about five friends whose bond has proven that no matter how much life changes, some connections only grow stronger with time.

Since 1982, John Wardlaw, Mark Rumer-Cleary, Dallas Burney, John Molony, and JD Dickson have been returning to the same cabin on Copco Lake in California to recreate the same photo. The same five friends, the same spot, every five years.

What started as a spontaneous snapshot taken when they were 19 has become a four-decade tradition that neither distance nor time has been able to interrupt. This story serves as a beautiful reminder that strong friendships are built around showing up for one another, year after year, no matter what life brings.

August has that funny way of keeping us guessing. One day, it can feel like peak summer, and you’re reaching for your go-to iced drink. Next, a chill in the air makes you believe fall might be right around the corner, making a warm drink sound pretty perfect.

So we want to know, where do you stand as we head into the final stretch of summer?

August is filled with moments that remind us of what can happen when someone dares to do something never done before, moving the rest of the world forward with them. Here are a few milestones we are celebrating this month:

🌊August 6, 1926 - Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim across the English Channel, completing the 21-mile crossing in 14 hours and 31 minutes. Not only did she make history, but she also beat the existing men's record by nearly two hours.

🎵August 12, 1877 - Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, giving the world its first device capable of recording and playing back sound. The first words captured were a simple recitation of "Mary Had a Little Lamb.”

📺August 29, 1997 - Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph founded Netflix in Scotts Valley, California, starting out as a simple DVD rental service by mail. Netflix eventually grew into one of the most influential entertainment platforms in the world.

These moments continue to inspire conversations about courage, creativity, and the lasting impact of one bold step into the unknown.

July is a month of outdoor adventure, reminding us of the beauty in the natural world around us. This month, we are sharing a story about a remarkable effort to protect the animals that are a part of that world.

In Colorado, North America's largest wildlife overpass has officially opened along a six-lane stretch of Interstate 25 near Larkspur. Measuring 200 feet wide and covered with dirt and native vegetation, the Greenland overpass now allows moose, elk, black bears, mountain lions, and pronghorn to safely cross a highway that once saw an average of one wildlife-vehicle collision every single day. Completed ahead of schedule and on budget, the structure connects 39,000 acres of habitat on both sides of the highway and is expected to reduce wildlife-vehicle crashes by 90%.

It is a beautiful reminder that when communities, agencies, and organizations come together with a shared purpose, the results can be extraordinary.

July is peak summer, and that means it is time for the big debate: pool day or beach day?

Some of us love the ease of a backyard pool or a quick dip at the local swim club, while others are all about the waves, sand, and saltwater. Both have their charm, and we want to know where you stand.

Which one best describes your ideal July day?
