The last month in pictures...

The past month has gotten away on me. I am trying hard to be more "present" at home which hasn't left much time for TV, Blogging or Email.  I figure there will be plenty of time to catch up on that this summer. :)

We went to a Bucks Playoff game with KT, Ben...

and of course Steve!  We had amazing seats but despite our cheering they lost. :(

We celebrated my mom's birthday in Appleton.

Where she had some snuggle time with Braden, Olivia and Norah. As you can also see from the picture, Braden has started up with soccer again!

We went to Chicago with Judy (her Christmas present) and did some touring around town...

Ate at a fabulous restaurant recommended by Sam and Em and then went and saw Stars on Ice.

Meanwhile, Sam and Em took on all three kids!  They went to the Nature Museum and got to touch some butterflies.

Braden had his third set of tubes put in - yes, with a starwars figure by his side. :)

This one breaks my heart. It's so hard to see your children at less than their best.

Olivia got her first haircut (with no underwear on... a story for another time)

We had family pictures taken... Olivia was less than smily so we are having hers retaken this weekend.  This picture made me realize that we perhaps needed to practice smiling for a camera. hehe

So we've been practicing... (and yes, that is an undershirt that she demanded was a shirt so she wore it to daycare!)

And practicing...

And I think she's got it down pat.

She also got new glasses as you can see which fit her a little bit better.

So it's been busy.  I realized I have no pictures of Norah but will post soon as she'll be 6 months!  WOW.  And the days continue to fly by. ;)
