A Trip To The Zoo

Emma patiently waiting with her tickets to ride the carousel.

Still waiting..... and excited!













Family fun!

















"Horsey ride!"













Eva, taking it all in!

Josh's Saturdays off are few and far between, so when one comes up, we are obliged to make a day of it! Yesterday we went to the zoo. The girls have already been to the zoo this year with their Nanny, Joy, but we wanted to see all the stories that Emma has been talking about ever since! Her favorite was the monkeys, but her first ride on the carousel was a close second. I have decided that the zoo is so much more fun (I HATE going to the zoo.....it smells.) when you have kids to share the sights with!

Great-Grandparents!

The girls and I traveled to southern IL this weekend to visit my grandparents! We had a great trip for all 22 hours that we were in the car! The girls were amazing travelers, and we had a great time! Eva got to meet her first set of "great" grandparents!

5th Anniversary

Today is our 5th anniversary. I cannot hardly believe it. I would have never guessed 5 years ago today that I would have 2 kids, be graduated with a doctorate, and living in a new home. God is good! I wonder what the next 5 years will bring?

Congrats, Grad!

Graduation party!
OMG, I did it!
Proud parents!
Proud sis!
"Hats off" to the grad!

My sister graduated from high school this past weekend. We had a great time in Milwaukee with family, friends, and special times! I am so proud of my sis for enduring the unendurable at Racine Lutheran High School, and can't wait to see what God has in store for her. She is off to the University of Wisconsin at Parkside to study business this fall. Congrats, Caite!
