Birthday Pictures

Elizabeth had a fabulous Birthday and it was way too much fun to watch and play with her!!!
She loved her toys and especially loved her cake as you can see from the pics. We lucked out with perfect weather, good food and had a great time with friends. Thanks for everyone that came and also helped out!

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Time sure does fly! It is amazing how your life can change so much in one year. This first year with Elizabeth has been better than we ever could have imagined! She is so sweet, tender, calm, funny, loving... and we can't get enough of her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our cinco de mayo baby.

April pics

So far this month has been: cold, warm, wet, and more wet! but at least there are no freezing temps. Jackson is finishing up his surgery rotation (ya!) and will start pediatrics in May. We all can't wait to have a little more time together.
Elizabeth is getting more and more busy and is keeping me on my toes. I love that each day more and more of her personality shows. Enjoy the pics.

Skiing and Jack Johnson

These two things are just meant to go together. This is a video that Catherine put together from our skiing in Utah during winter break. We thank all of the actors- Scottie Dog, Norminator, Sweet Jane, Cat Attack, Action Jackson and not least of all Pedro! You know who you are!

We actually submitted this into a local ski shop's video contest. We'll see how it does!

Utah Trip

A few weeks ago I (catherine) went to Utah for a few days to watch my Sisters kids while they went to Hawaii. 5 kids for 8 days... and I made it out alive!!! It was fun to see all my neices, nephews and family! Thanks for making the trip enjoyable!!! Sarah and Brady thank you for coming home! I love ya!

March Madness

This has been a month of Madness and I am not just talking Basketball. SNOW, that is all I have to say. We are at the 2nd snowiest Winter in Milwaukee history, I guess we might as well go for #1 (Bring it on snow!)In fact it is snowing right now. We did have a nice day yesterday and it has been great to finally jog outside.

Elizabeth is pulling herself up onto everything and anything. She is so playful and gets more and more fun each day. Jackson is plugging away on his surgery rotation and we feel lucky when we get to spend time with him.
Enjoy the pics!!!
