My mom came over last night with her dogs, and stayed the night. This morning we hung out, we went out for lunch, then she shopped while I went to work. When Owen was done with school we picked him up, then she and he played a very long card game of War. Grandpa Ricco […]

Today we celebrated Lindsay’s 7th birthday and Grandma Anne’s birthday at Michael’s parent’s home. The neat thing was, Michael and I had bought a present for Lindsay, hidden it, and he’d driven it over to their home the night before, so she wouldn’t accidentally see it before we gave it to her.
We had a great […]

Allll four kiddos are here for the weekend. Hooray!
There was a big used Scuba equipment sale this morning at Underwater Connection in Menomonee Falls. Unfortunately, Scuba equipment shopping is pretty boring for kids. While we looked at the goods the kids goofed around (as quietly as possible), first inside the store then outside the store […]

We finally got to meet my first nephew today, Gavin! Aunt Eileen had a party at her house for Mike, Eleanor and their beautiful 3-month old baby. It was great to see him, hold him, and hear him chattering up a storm. I’ll post photos soon.

Good day today. Got a workout in, checked several job stops off my list this week, and Owen had a nice day at school.
After school he and I went to Kohl’s to again look for some new gym shoes. He was planning on wearing a pair his dad got them last year. This morning he […]

Owen’s back to smiling about school again.
After school he asked if we could go for a bike ride. I of course agreed and we did our long route again — to his school, around it and back again — about 2 miles. On the start of the way back he tumbled off but didn’t get […]

We spent the day with Michael’s family. First we went to the Northshore Country Club, where all 6 kids swam like little crazy fishies. Owen’s favorite was jumping off the diving board, although he went down theĀ water slides a few times, too. All the kids love the water, so they all really enjoyed themselves. […]

We went to Costco today, I think originally to buy socks. $190 later, we finally left the store. Ack! It’s really ok though, we rarely shop at normal grocery stores except for things like fruit and veggies, and only go to Costco usually once or twice a month. So I don’t feel too bad.
And at […]

I pretty much dragged Michael and Owen kicking and screaming this morning to The Original Pancake House in Brookfield. (If Michael sees this he’ll disagree, but deep down he knows this is true!) Owen and I had been to this restaurant in Monona and Madison several times and absolutely loved it. Recently I realized they […]
