I can walk, I can run...

Last recap and I'M DONE!    Here is a brief update to Part I of the mass recap.    It runs from January to May.  Hopefully I will keep up with the posts from here on out!   Our new computer is up and running, photos transferred and is lighting fast.   (yeah...I'm sticking with that excuse)

January 1, 2011

Raegan falls for Bucky Badger.   Hard.    The Badgers made it all the way to Pasedena for the Rose Bowl this year.   We had a small group of friends over to watch the game.  I made Badger cookies and a Badger Cake.   It was all down hill from there.....

My Grandpa got me this outfit for my 1st Birthday.   He picked out the pants all by himself.   Miss Sue found a nice shirt, my mom tossed in a hairbow, and voila!   One pretty cute little outfit.

January 23, 2011   Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers

Another batch of cookies, another hairbow.   All in a day's work.

Blizzaster, SnowMaggeddon, Snowpocalypse, Snowtorious BIG

"uh momma, I don't think we're getting out of here"

Call it what you like we got a *#$&#*($& load of snow!!!!   I think the final totals were around 20 inches, but when the drifts are 4 feet high, it's a LOT to clear from the driveway.

Thankfully, less than a month after the blizzard, Kevin and I went on vacation for 5 nights in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.   It was heaven.

Playgroup

I have been blessed to find the most wonderful group of mommy friends.   Raegan belongs to a playgroup that meets every Wednesday morning.   We rotate homes and hosting activities for our 5, now 6, and soon to be 7 children.    Here are some of the little ones watching the ducks that wandered through our yard this spring.
