Visiting Famiy

St Patty Parade in Davenport

Trip to Wisconsin

Caitlyn holding Natalie at the hotel.

This past weekend we decided to make the first trip with two kids to Wisconsin. Of course since we were planning on driving up Thursday afternoon, a winter storm was forcasted. So instead we drove up to Woodbury on Wednesday afternoon and spent the evening at a hotel so Caitlyn could so swimming. In addition we got to see Pat, Ryan and Lauren. We spent the rest of the weekend in Chippewa visiting everyone. On Friday we also met up with Josh and Lindsay to get Caitlyn's dress for their wedding. As you can see from the pictures she wasn't very happy to have her picture taken, however she liked the dress so much I had a hard time getting her out of it.

Ryan and Caitlyn swimming. He was her hero that evening.

Josh, Lindsay and Natalie

Don't we just look happy to have a picture taken...

We went bowling for Charlie's birthday and Jon was helping Caitlyn with her skills... She lasted almost 6 frames which is good for her. She had a blast.

Shed pictures

I have been meaning to put the pictures of our finished shed up on the blog for some time now. We got it done finally right before all the holiday's got started, so I kept forgetting to put up the new pictures. As you can see it is done, and we already have most of our stuff in it. We are still doing some of the interior work ourselves slowly, but the building itself is done.

Caitlyn's Snowman

It snowed about 6 1/2 inches on Friday, and after chris got home from plowing the roads. He and Caitlyn played outside for a while. The snow was not very good for making snowmen but they tried anyway. Here is the snowman they built.

Picture taking time...

We took our first pictures with Natalie and believe it or not it was a great session. Caitlyn was good and took some great pictures and so did Natalie. Here are some of them...

Updated Pictures

Life adjusting to two is going great. Caitlyn is the proudest big sister there can be. Of course it isn't her baby sister, it's her baby and don't mess with her baby. The emotion in her voice when she talks to her sister is enough to make you melt. She always says how cute she is and how little she is. And if you stop to visit, you have to be sure to ask her permission to hold her baby otherwise you will hear about it. Hint for anyone, if she hands you a Hershey Kiss, it isn't for you to eat (right Linda!). She just wants you to open it for her so she can sneak the chocolate.
