Craziness in May

Turning around with a quick entry. Just got back from a short vacation to the Wisconsin Dells. Here are some May highlights.

Maddie and her daily fashion photos...

Isaac's turn.

Do not adjust your set...

It was Crazy Hair Day at preschool, and Maddie went all-out. Don't worry, it all washed out!!

Isaac and Bailey get some quality time on the front porch.

Isaac takes a quick nap in the car.

At the Dells, we take the courtesy bus to the water park. When asked what their favorite ride was at the Dells, the response was... "the bus!"

Lisa and Isaac enjoy the water.

Maddie rides the purple slide and Isaac checks out the commotion.

Maddie and Cassie at the petting zoo. After this we took an hour long horse ride on a trail through the woods. Maddie and Eric rode on a great horse named "Sugar Foot".

Isaac sure enjoyed hanging with "the girls".

Isaac hangs out at the hotel room.

Isaac cuddles with Dad to warm up after a big day swimming.

Back home, Maddie wants one more picture before calling it a night.

Thanks for all your comments. We'll be back soon!

Spring Fun

The kids have had a busy and eventful spring. They are both still growing like weeds and showing no signs of stopping. Here are the latest pictures.

Madeline likes to pose with each day's outfit before we head to school.

Isaac thinks this is a pretty swell idea as well.

Isaac insisted that we make a house for his "C-tops" using Grandpa's blocks.

We had lots of late snow this year. Seemed like winter would never end. Somehow, Madeline never seemed to mind...

Coloring Easter Eggs with Cousin Anna.

Somehow, every time we take Isaac's picture he has food on his face...

Hunting for Easter Eggs.

Isaac found one!!

Maddie shows off her Easter Dress while hunting for Easter Eggs at Oma's. (Did you notice that it snowed again???)

Maddie loses her first tooth!! (And another within a week...)

Maddie shows off her vaunted two-handed tapping technique.

Maddie shows off the fairy puzzle she got from the tooth fairy.

We went to Iowa to see Maddie's new cousin Ella.

Madeline and Madison spend some quality time.
