Weekend trip to Missouri/aka Chari's birthday

Just a few photos of our trip to Missouri. We had fun at the winery, pond (the kids boated) and then came the party! Late late night for the kids.

May 2010

Just a few photos from the past week. Spring concert, Memorial day weekend and then Chewie's graduation from kindergarten. Chewie will be repeating kindergarten, so there will another set of photos next year.

Devil's Lake

Yesterday we took the kids to Devil's Lake up at Baraboo--tried our best to wear them out. Since the boys fell asleep on the way home, I guess we were sucessful!

First Communion

Yes, yesterday was the day. My princess received first communion. Here's a few select pictures of the day. On the left is a photo of Julia with her godmother Kelly and Kelly's husband Karl. I tried to find a selection of others to give some ideas of the day--Julia with Levi, Julia with a bunch of her friends from school--and of course, Julia with her brothers!


It was a wonderful day. Everyone was able to make it--including Uncle Josh (didn't have to work--he's a PA for one of the emergency rooms) along with Aunt Tisha and the cousins, Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Suzanne and family (Chicago), Michelle, Colton and Levi. Mamaw and Grandpa weren't there physically--but we know they were looking down from heaven and smiling.
The weather, despite a bit of wind, was absolutely lovely--especially for Wisconsin in spring. My first one--bittersweet. I'm glad I kept busy with the camera--otherwise there would have been tears!

Spring in Madison

We've had a busy week. On Wednesday, I took Rauan for testing for gifted and talented. While he was testing, I wandered downtown Madison.
This is the Kohls' Center--where we attend hockey games! Go Badgers!!

Over on the side are pictures of Chewie at a birthday party he attended Saturday (today) at the zoo. He's so cute!
