Real update! Pictures and all!

You missed us? Oh, that is so nice, I missed you too. Some happenings of late... Cory graduated! Yay! It is nice to be done with school, I would show you a picture, but most of those are on the parents' cameras. Sorry, I feel your disappointment! It was a nice long day, thanks to Leigh for babysitting during the luncheon! Anyway, we miss the old Minnesota crowd, hope you are all well! So a few weeks after graduation, we moved to Janesville, WI! We are enjoying it here. Yes, it is the very Janesville that Paul Ryan is from, isn't that exciting?

 I have a new Mani/Pedi friend. Kate can't take a serious picture, but she is a fan! Like mother like daughter...

 I turned old, yes it is true...

 I took the kids on a little trip to Idaho on my own... to my huge relief, all went well! I will post more on this another time... too many pictures!

 and this sweet little baby has gone from this...

 to this! Crazy! She is already 6 months, and getting ready to crawl! So sad, she is awesome, we all love her a little too much...

 Kate is in a dance class and loves it... they are learning a kitty dance and it is too cute. (yes, she has this much sass)

 Tanner's first day of 1st grade! We lucked out and he got into the same class as a little boy from our ward! and they are good friends, so that extra lucky.

 and here is the fall here in Wisconsin. We went to Holy Hill on Saturday, it was a beautiful day! I wish Marianne was still in Milwaukee because we would have done this with you! Anyway, Holy Hill is a basilica that is on a tall hill...

This was the view from the top! Such pretty colors!

 

Well, there you go... some pictures... we (as in I) will try to get back into the swing of life. It has been a little harder to pick it all back up after Lydi-bug joined us. But it is life and a constant work in progress, so bear with me! Hope you are all well, and until next time... Peace out.



Still here...

Here is now Wisconsin... I'm working on it. :)

Now a family of 5!

Wow! April 1st already! You may think we no longer exist, but we do! Much to your relief I am sure! Well, we added to the family last week, her name is Lydia Jane, and she was a blue ribbon baby weighing in at 9 lbs, 8 oz. and 22 inches.

I am not sure where she was hiding in me, because they had told me they thought she would be around 7 lbs! We think she should have been around 8 1/2 lbs because she was quite swollen from all the fluids they had pumped in me! And that is where she has stayed post hospital! But we were fortunate enough to have Nana come and help out for a week! Kate would call Cory and I "Nana" on accident after she left, it was pretty funny, the kids are missing her!

Tanner is smitten...

Kate has staked her claim...

So, we are partial, but we think she is pretty, and awesome! But mostly pretty awesome! So we will get back to the updates soon... After all, we did have thanksgiving, Christmas, a trip to Idaho, Kate's birthday, and Cory's birthday... Just to mention a few things! But until then, happy April fools day, and I hope you found someone to fool! ;)
