Happy Memorial Day 2010

Remembering our loved ones, gone but never forgotten.

I still continue to tell Trevor and Sophie stories about their grandfather Bill. Mark shares stories as well about his father Sam. We all feel cheated out of knowing these great men as the adults we now are....missing out on being able to ask their advice or share the joys of parenthood.

Stories keep our loved ones with....

I miss you Dad!

Our Favorite Beach!

We spent the day at Great Sand Bay just south of Copper Harbor.
This beautiful area is our favorite place to spend a day playing and relaxing in the sun.
Can't wait to return for a day of swimming!!

Another school year under the belt for me....I'm looking forward to a fun summer with Mark and the kids. The kid's last day of school is June 8th.

Trevor's 8th grade class trip will be the following week. We are excited for him!

Lately we've been dreaming about a new home and we are hopeful for one we can call our own with a big backyard for Abby and plenty of space for entertaining! A big kitchen would be a dream!

I will post pictures soon as it's been a while since I've posted ones of Trevor, Sophie and little miss Abigail.

Happy Spring!!

We'd like to introduce you to our newest family member....Abigail Constance our little pug puppy.

She was born on November 16, 2009 and became a member of our family in mid-January.

Funny little puppy dog, she makes us laugh when she's fast asleep snoring away...

She has a little bit of a wild time of night where she has to run off her energy, running from one room to another.

We can't wait for everyone to meet her!

Happy Halloween!!

Sophie is one goofy little girl!!

She could make anyone smile! Her sense of humor is contagious!

I'm never in a bad mood for long when Sophie is around...

When it comes to Halloween, sometimes Sophie and I disagree. I think Halloween should be about scary, creepie or even funny costumes. She always seems to lean toward super hero's or something of that sort.....we do both agree that Halloween is not for a "princess" or a "fairy" or any girly-girl costumes...

We shopped around trying to come up with a funny idea....Sophie spotted the boxing gloves at the Family Dollar store. Those were our starting point. We ended up having to only spend a couple of dollars on a headband and another dollar on a plain white t-shirt. The rest was things we had and our imaginations! Yes, we had the wig and those giant blue shorts!!

She was one tough looking boxer...with a 5 o'clock shadow that Sophie insisted she have instead of the black eye that I said she should have. What the heck would she have a black eye for...she knows how to guard the money-maker, that sweet face of hers!

Halloween is definetly worth dressing up for...tricks or treats!

Sophie and I found a fun new website!

Sophie and I had so much fun playing on this website:

Our Recent Company...

My sister Jenn and her sweet little boy "Punchy" came to visit from Wisconsin. We had the pleasure of them staying with us and Mark captured photos of his little bubble bath in our kitchen sink!

We also took one of him wearing his new Yooper style hat!

Michael is growing so quickly, changing every second!

WE can't wait for his next visit!!
