Weekend away :D

We're taking a little time this weekend to travel to Green Bay and see the Botanical gardens and hike some trails. The summer is flying by, as we get ready for a great family 4th. of July party, and a 'girl's camping trip' after that. The Littles are enjoying the LaClaire goat farm today, and Eva and Michael are heading to Madison for the Rhythm and Booms concert. Just posting a few summery pics today :D Happy 3rd. Birthday to Miss Charlotte! Our littlest Little is growing up.

And finally...after 6 long months, we are back on the Mascoutin trail :D  Ran some errands and took the Littles to the trail for a little R and R. It feels like getting reacquainted with an old friend.

Welcome spring!

Finally (just about) through with this dreary winter. I'm excited to start planning the garden this month, and with the help of the Littles, I will start my seeds indoors this week :D

So today we have an assortment of random (Flashback Friday) photos. Top is a pic of Paul and I at a Count Basie concert in Green Lake; Elise and I fooling around; Ellie and Belle camping, Charlotte with an Ice Lolly (her way to say popsicle) and finally Magnus and me :D

   

Happy New Year!

A few lovely photos of the wedding here...

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for following the 'goings on' of the Thelens and our extended family. Now most of my (should I say older, and less computer savvy) relatives are all on board on Facebook, so we keep updated that way through social media, and less time here on the blog. However, now and then I will post a few pictures, just because :D Miss Belle is now past 4, and Miss Charlotte is 2 1/2. Eva and Mike have been married for 4 months now, and everything else is much the same...work, work and more work, with the occasional vacation. Next year at this time, we hope for all the family to be in Paris and vicinity for the week following Christmas. We have a lot of planning and saving yet to get to that point. Blessings to all!
