Three Bears

We love the yearly tradition that we've got going with my friend Stefanie and her family. We spend a weekend away with the families and this year was the second year in a row at Three Bears Resort in WI. We had great weather so we were able to utilize the outdoor pools most of the time, which was great! I can't believe how quickly all of our girls are growing up, can't wait to see who they continue to grow into. 💗

Chicago for 40

My sister turned 40 this year! We went to Chicago to celebrate with her the fam and to visit them at their current home one last time (as they are moving later this summer). We had a fun weekend hanging out with the kiddos. Here's to 40, Karen. You're going to kill it!

Fathers Day 2019

This year we enjoyed breakfast with my dad, a trip to SeaQuest as a family, and had the Harrisons over to our place to celebrate. It was a fun day and I'm very lucky to have Patrick as my partner and the girls are equally lucky to have him for a dad!

WELCOME baby Nora!

We have a NIECE!! Baby Nora was born to Patrick's brother Johnnie and wife Kim. The sex was a surprise and I was going with boy so when we heard SHE was born it was an extra happy day! Kim and Nora are both well and everyone seems to settling into their new family life just fine. We are so happy to have a new little one around and can't wait to see her grow up! Congrats to the new family :)

Dancing time

This June brought our fourth dance recital of Emily's with Victoria Dance Productions. The show was another stunner and Emily still likes dance enough to keep it going! We get the summer off before we start up for year 5 in the fall. Thanks to all who came to cheer her on!

See ya first grade!

Emily had a great first grade year at Olson Elementary with Mr. Anderson. Next year she's making the move to Ridgeview Elementary to join a rigorous program that will help challenge her and keep her on her toes! We are a little nervous and a little excited about the change, but we don't have to worry about that for a few months! HELLO summer...
