Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!

Here are a few pics from Kickball family fun night! If you are ever in the mood for a good time - play the game with reverse bases, don't forget to play awesome music during the game & always run w/a couple of foam hands on! It will shock you how fun it is!

Have a nice trip this fall

Oops I did it again!

So to anyone who knows me well, knows that I fall…a lot! Well this morning I had another random spill. Adam, Crystal and I were walking back from Starbucks and Boom – I was on all fours! Haha – It just came out of no where! My wallet and coffee went flying. There was coffee in my hair, I have a skinned up shin, knee & elbow. I juts noticed that I have a few small rocks stuck in my leg. I think I should go clean up now.

Adam’s favorite past times is to laugh his butt off if he ever witnesses a fall (mean – mean – I know,) well I must be a true friend – because he asked if I was ok and helped me up before it began. The laughing then didn’t stop and I am sure I will be hearing it over the cube walls today! Haha! Looks like I am back to my old self again or the new shoes I have on are not working properly! Haha!

*here is a picture - but really it doesn't do the justice (you can't even see the blood & scrapes.) I am sure it will be black and blue by the end of the day. If it does I'll be sure to post again:) haha!

Congrats!

Congrats to Grant, Molly and Elliot Waldschmidt!

What an adorable family you make and Elliot is just beautiful!

Birthdays

Happy Birthday Crystal! (Today)

Happy Birthday Abbie!!! (Monday)

Back to work

Back to work now. Yesterday was my first day back. I did leave the house in tears and shed some on the way in, but once I got in things seemed to be better. A group took me to Starbucks in the morning and another group went for lunch. I was also very distracted from thinking about everything by catching up on everything. The day actually went by really fast. I am lucky to have such great co-workers.

I zoomed out the door right at 3:30 to pick up my Lil nugget. She was sleeping when I got there, but I was still so happy to see here. I think they had a nice day. I guess Lily was very happy and smiled a lot in the morning. She also enjoyed her play mat and tuckered herself out from kicking so much and took a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. That is GREAT, she is normally such a cat napper. That Nanny Pat sure knows what she is doing. (She even made Mickey and I a wonder rhubarb desert yesterday! It was GREAT!)

Thank you to everyone who sent me nice messages of support and thanks to Pat J . You are the best!

Parade Day

Friday was the start of South Saint Paul's Kaposia Days. One of the advantages of our home is that we live on the parade route. So every year that we have lived here we have people over, drink a few beers, grill some dogs and enjoy the parade. We had a good turn out this year, despite the rainy weather. It was pretty grim about an hour before the start, but luckily it let up and we all had a nice time. Thanks everyone who came over. It was great to see you all! The food was great and we loved the cake! Gary - thanks for all of your help setting up.
