I'm such a slacker....

I've been REALLY bad about posting blog updates. With almost everyone I know on Facebook, I started to feel like blogging was a bit redundant. Then, I had
a(nother) baby (yeah- post on that to come in a little while) and my poor mother-in-law was one of the last ones to actually SEE her new granddaughter because while I was busy uploading pictures to Facebook, my beloved husband was at home forgetting to email his mom (who is NOT on Facebook) pictures of the newest addition.

So..... I'm trying to be better. Besides just the pictures, this really is a great way for us to update our "far away" family about everyday going-ons and whatnot.

Now, to sort through the past 8 months of pictures and see what I can post....

Maggie makes me laugh....

"Look Mom- I wrote dad's name. I know I'm not supposed to call him 'Dan' but I couldnt' write D-A-D because I only have one D magnet."

This video isn't terribly funny....other than the fact that I think in 10 years we will just look back and laugh and laugh at how Maggie pronounces her "s's" :)

Happy Anniversary!

On June 12, my parents celebrated their 40th anniversary. In leiu of a big celebration, all of us "kids" chose to head to Chicago for a nice dinner out. It was a wonderful night- great food, good drinks, and a good time hanging out at Doug and Katie's place after supper. Congratulations, mom and dad on 40 years.... Here's to 40 more!

Sleep Nazi

Lucy puts daddy "to sleep."

Last Day of School!

Here are pictures from the girls' last day of school in June. Maggie will start 4K at "mom's school" in the fall, so this was a BIG day. She's been attending the same daycare since she was 4 months old!

Lucy and her beloved Nova. Nova "gets" Lucy. We are keeping our fingers crossed that all of Lucy's future teachers are so understanding! :)

Maggie and her teacher, Ms. Vicki. We are so thankful for Ms. Vicki this past year. She really, really saw potential in Maggie and took a lot of extra time to work on her letter sounds and reading because "well, she can do it!" Maggie is certainly going to miss her next year! Thank goodness Ms. Vicki lives nearby- we plan to visit with her!

Just had to include this picture- the last day of school, mom got a special delivery at school. I was certain they were from Dan, but they were actually from my "Secret Pal" at work. What a great way to end the school year!

Last day of school! Bring on summer!

Happy (belated?) birthday, Lucy!

On June 4, Lucy turned 2. Remember June? Like, 3 months ago? Anyway- we were lucky again that Lucy's "real" birthday fell on a Saturday, which meant that we got to celebrate on her actual day! A few months before her birthday, we came across some super adorable "Very Hungry Caterpillar" party stuff at Target. Hmmm... a caterpillar cake can't be too hard, can it? Nope!
