Not long until spring:)


I have just begun getting seed catalogs. I don't know why they hold such a fascination and pleasure for me. The anticipation of warmer weather and planning a garden is exciting.  Just as we are getting tired of the winter season, the seed catalogs arrive and bring a little sunshine:)  Won't be long until March...filled with many family birthdays...a favorite month of mine. Uploads today are a few random favorites. Miss Belle, Charlotte, Magnus and JP keep things interesting and fun.

A couple Madison concert pics...


Great start to 2013!

Wow, didn't realize I took such a hiatus from writing here. The blame lies with our new computer, I suppose. I think I am finally getting to understand it's many features. A little update for Mom and the Aunties...the last month has been super busy. For starters, we had a wonderful cruise in the western Caribbean. Weather was in the low 80's, and we enjoyed sailing and snorkeling during the shore excursions. It was truly hard to come back to single digits :(  Ellie had her wisdom teeth removed, and unfortunately developed an infection despite doing all she was told. She is still not able to play her sax, and since she has returned to Madison, this is very difficult for her. On the upside, she is officially a sophomore according to her credits. She is renting an apartment with a girlfriend in August, and will say good-bye to dorm life.  Eva is busy planning for her wedding, and has just ordered some 'save the date' refrigerator magnets. Miss Belle will be starting gymnastics in April, and Charlotte is busy talking up a storm, and also interested in the big potty already. It is unbelievable how fast they are growing up.

Fun in Madison!







The snowstorm has created the perfect winter wonderland. Today we plan to get Belle and Charlotte out in it, complete with new snow boots :)  Work was surprisingly easy yesterday with everyone home and activities cancelled, so we made dozens of cookies and enjoyed hot chocolate.

Just a few newer shots of Miss Belle and Charlotte today.  We are enjoying their extended visit. I'm helping out with a new group home opening in Oshkosh today, so we took a long walk early and after lunch plan to nap :) Looking forward to a quieter week and making plans for Miss Belle's 3rd. birthday and a Thanksgiving feast with my sister NeeNee.
