Hello Harley

Sorry for the cuteness overload, but we just can't help ourselves when it comes to our newest family member. It has been nearly eight months since Wrigley passed away, and we can't tell you how many times we've commented on just how empty the house is without him. We understand that Wrigley can never be replaced, but we also understand that we have a lot of love left to give to a new furry friend so with that in mind we proudly introduce to you (drumroll please)...Harley! At seven weeks old (DOB: 5/2/16) he is the definition of cuteness, and we couldn't be anymore in love! We'll admit the decision was tough as we had to choose between him and another feisty yellow lab male, but his temperament won us over and just like that he was OURS! He quickly made himself right at home tonight and managed to score himself a place on Mom's lap for the ride from Madison to Milwaukee. He made it through the first night in his kennel as well without much complaint and has enjoyed exploring the house and yard. We know it has been less than 24 hours, but for now we'd say it is a perfect fit! Welcome to our world little Harley!

Summer Adventures

The first full week of summer is under our belts, and what an eventful week it was. I am wrapping up baseball with only 3 weeks to go. I am thoroughly enjoying catching this year, and just maybe have found my calling. Lily started summer gymnastics this week as well, and both of us partook in track and field camp. We competed against kids in 2nd-5th grade, and both of us scored a few ribbons placing in events like relay, high jump, hurdles, the 200M, and 400M. Track and field was way more fun than either of us anticipated, but the 8:00 start time every day wore us out. It will be wonderful to sleep in tomorrow, but we can't wait for more adventures this summer!

"Real Wild Child"

Academy of Dance Arts presented Hooked on a Feeling this year, and my dance "Real Wild Child" was so appropriate and fun for yours truly!!! I had a blast up on stage and performed my little heart out for all to enjoy!

See Ya Later Second Grader!

We had another good run this year and now it is time to close the book on second grade. It was a great year that had way more ups than downs, and again we each had the perfect teacher! We're not sure things could get much better here in our world, but we're excited to give it a go as we move on up to THIRD GRADE!!!

Baby Shower

With Mom's work year coming to an end a few of her co-workers surprised her with a baby shower for Bronco. The best part about it was that there was so much cake that she got to bring some home to share with us!!!

Field Trips

As our time in second grade comes to a close we are busy squeezing in a bunch of field trips with our classmates. One led us to the Milwaukee Public Museum where were were able to visit the butterfly garden since we each raised a butterfly this year at school and recently released it. Another took us up to Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan. These along with our earlier trips to the Audubon to tap for maple syrup and to Cedarburg to learn about pioneers were all fun and we give them each an A+!!!
