New Kitchen

Two weeks ago we started demo on our new kitchen. What were we thinking??!! The progress has been great and tomorrow we will have the cabinets installed but we are getting a little tired of eating out. Hopefully all will be done by the New Year.

Two BEFORE shots of the walls but now those are gone.

Day 2 and 3 of Demo.

Day 5 of Demo.

Autumn Leaves are Falling Down

Mary loves to crunch through the leaves.

18 Months and Growing

Here we are in Wisconsin. Mike officiating his first wedding and he was fabulous.

Mary got to eat her dinner at the counter on a bar stool at Yo-Yo and Rice's house.

Mary is reading her favorite book, I Already Know I Love You (Grandpa gave it to her before she was born) in the nude.

Mary says "Cheese" now when the camera is out.

Check out these twins.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Mary loves to sing these days. We couldn't get her to finish the song here but she knows Itsy Bitsy Spider, Pat-A-Cake and Old MacDonald. She has fun doing the movements and singing along.

Down at the Farm

Mary and I have had a week to ourselves. Mike went to Oregon with some friends so I tried to fill up our dance card with some fun activities. We went to Parky's Farm with our friends Ann and Dave and their son Ethan. Mary went on her first pony ride and she laughed and smiled the whole time.

Too cute

Playtime with Friends

Mary has been spending alot of time with her friends which is great for me since they bring their Mommies with them.

Mary and I met baby Norah and her mommy Sarah yesterday. Sarah and Norah are in town from Eugene, OR and Sarah went to Eau Claire with Mike. The White ladies like to give kisses.

Last week Mary had water day with her birthday buddy and neighbor, Olivia. Olivia's driveway housed the baby pool and our driveway had the sprinkler.

Mike and Mary are playing with our good friends Ethan and Dave. Ann (Ethan's mom) is sitting on the couch.

Mary and my friend Beth swapped babies for the picture. Mary was a little jealous of me holding baby Samantha but in the end she gave the baby hugs and kisses.

Mary and Reily played in the sprinkler on their playdate. Reilly's mom Patty went to UD with me and was in from Phoenix.
