Walking?

Benjamin has started to walk behind a little walker. He was thrilled when we pulled this up from the basement. All of our kids have used this before walking...

A Hint of Spring

We have had temps in the upper 30's and lower 40's for most of the week. Its been so great to watch our back yard snow recede like the artic. We have patches of grass everywhere, something we haven't seen since the first of December. I know 30's and 40's don't sound great to you east coasters, but in Wisconsin we are trying to "give thanks in everything". The kids had fun blowing bubbles and using sidewalk chalk on one of the warmer days.

Awana Games

Nathan participated in Awana Games today. It is when chuches from all over Southern Wisconsin come together to compete in various games. His team (the green team) came in third. He is the last guy on the relay race and he almost got the pin first. He would have liked to have come in first, but overall he had a good time with all of his friends...

Noah enjoys the games

We went to Nathan's Awana games today and Noah had fun watching...

Benjamin's first word

Mitch is convinced that Benjamin has spoken his first word, guess what? Its not mama...

March Madness

Okay it is March 5th and we are still covered in snow with a few more inches expected this week. I don't want to complain, but as Eyeore (Pooh's friend) says "There it is." My dad asked me this morning if we still had snow on the ground. Take a look, these were taken today...

A Tribute to Brett Farve

Today we learned that Brett Farve was retiring from the Green Bay Packers. I am sad to see him go. It was so much fun to watch him play this year. Not only did he break the record for the most touchdown passes and yards thrown, he had a good time doing it. I've never seen a quarterback smile and laugh as much as he did this year, and the amount of times he slapped another player or referee on the behind are too numerous to count. We will miss him. Here are a few pictures to offer tribute to a great quarterback (Noah's favorite guy)...
