Vilas Zoo

Last Friday while Jesse was golfing, I took the girls to Vilas Zoo to meet our cousin Jodi, James, and their son, Drew. We had a good time walking around and seeing all of the different animals. Poor Macy was stuck in the stroller while big sis got to stand tall looking over the rails (she loved that)! Take a close look at the giraffes (I didn't realize that until I posted the pic)! We also watched the black bear swim for quite some time. After the zoo, I took the girls over to the park. They have both loved swinging. In fact, Madison learned how to pump her legs on the big swings two days after this picture was taken (straight and bend)! We had a great time!

Fun Shopping!

Early last week, I met a friend shopping with her little girl, Madison. Just as they started riding the horses, it down-poured! We hung around the rides a little longer...

Our Third Child...

No, we're not pregnant again, but catchy line, huh?! Madison insisted on taking her life-size doll for a walk the other day. So now we know what it will look like with 3 kids, if we choose to have more :) The other picture was from my friend CaSondra's wedding at the Orphem theatre downtown Madison. It was so beautiful, and they looked so happy. I was excited to have a nice picture of Jesse and I, too! We enjoyed our couple of hours away (thanks again Auntie Ellen and Uncle Randy for watching them). Our fun weekend turned into a long couple of days when Madison woke up that night sick. She had both issues until 2 p.m., and then stopped throwing up. We took her into the doctor today, because she wasn't eating anything, but they said it was probably just a virus. Poor thing!

Do you remember?

Here comes the "Destroyer!" If you remember, Maddie loved to go through the cupboards (I included an old picture), especially the one with the tupperware, and throw them all over the floor. Well, here is Macy realizing she can open the cupboards! I guess we're fortunate...Maddie had been going through the cupboards months before Macy! I just love this other picture, she just looks active, doesn't she?!?!?!?! Macy is back to only taking a couple of steps here and there, and loves to walk on her knees. We'll see what happens!

Megan's 30th and our Anniversary

On Saturday night, Megan's husband Cash held a dinner party at Coquette Cafe in the Third Ward. We had such a nice dinner, with good conversation and fun! We ventured to a champagne bar where Susan met up with us later on. Kirk and Katie watched the girls for us. On Sunday (our 6th anniversary), we had a joint birthday gathering with family and friends. It was wonderful to celebrate such a big occasion with Megan. She is also flying back in August for my birthday. I love you girl!

More swimming!

We had a wonderful weekend in Milwaukee! Madison used swimming wings and a noodle (instead of her vest) for the first time. She did a nice job! We didn't let her hang out in the deep end like she usually does, but she was swimming all over! Macy liked to splash a lot. I think they are both ready for their August swim lessons!

She's Walking!!!!

We have seen Macy take a couple of steps here and there. Last Thursday, she took three steps to Jesse (of course I was at bunko)! Today, she was taking one here and there, and we counted eight steps in a row from me to Jesse! I got a picture of her ready to go (one picture shows her top two teeth)! Watch out!
