Photos Galore

I enjoyed my time with my neices and nephews this week so far.

And, as always, we're enjoying our little blessing, Quinn! With the seeming 'burst' of pregnancies lately, I am realizing what a blessing a baby really is to me and Mike. We have come to love and enjoy every moment...even when she wakes up at 6am...really. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you going through the pregnancy moments and best wishes to you all.

Mike and Quinn on our drive to Mankato. Yes, this was at a stop, not while we were driving. :-)


Guess she knew how to find the keys!

At Granny's house. "Look Granny, no hands! I stand on my own now!! And thanks for the milk jug!"


New present--a xylophone shaped as a caterpillar...she loves it! And again, no hands while she pulls the shaker eggs from the box (also loves those!).



My brother's girl, Hailey, sporting the new sunglasses...she's a little diva in training!


The grandkids....Hailey, Liz holding Benji, Quinn, Caryn, William and Alex...Abbie was with Daddy in Kaukauna. This was the best shot I got...did anyone get a "good" one?


What?! Caryn's smiling for a photo? She's 4 and her new thing is to not pose for photos anymore...I caught her!


William under the tree...too cute!

Liz and Auntie Jen.


Liz, Auntie Jen and William. Liz was causing pain by standing on Auntie Jen's calves...not sure how I even got a shot that didn't show extreme pain on Jen's face!


The best shot of Quinn and a Christmas tree....she's getting out of this posing stage and into a go-go-go...well, still a go-go-go!

Quinn and Daddy at the Betty Brinn Children's museum in Milwaukee. We went with the Brefka's and it was a good time. Mike and I had the "luck" of getting to take Hailey with us too...getting all four of us ready for the day was a chore! And Grandma even had Hailey dressed before she left for work that morning!!



Hailey was busy checking people out at the grocery store portion of the museum. And her Daddy kept calling her, so the phone was often a source of delay while checking out. It was cute.


...And Alex enjoyed shopping for his fruits and veggies!!







Liz said she wanted to be an abulance driver...another exhibit at the museum. Her favorite part was "the heart" which included a slide and it named each part of the heart as you explored the area. It was pretty cool..even for a 29 year old!




Alex wants to be a train conductor, I guess, because he loves trains. He also gets really really really really red cheeks when he gets warm...it was warm in this museum, as you can see.


Quinn was having fun taking apart the train tracks...Alex and other kids weren't liking it so much either. But, she was nice enough to hand over the tracks.



Quinn's sporting the new snow suit we got from Abbie. It's a little short, but we'll take it! Thanks much!!!
