videos...

I have a ton of little videos that we've taken with our Flip, but haven't gotten around to posting them. Here's one, many more to come...

Madison's baptism and randoms

 Grandma Kate is soooo much fun.

 Nice to meet you Brady Moser :) Welcome to the family!

 The day was beautiful, so we went for a stroll at Lake of the Woods

 Madison started sleeping in her big girl bed (crib) about a week ago.

She also started eating big girl food this week. So far, she's tried rice cereal mixed with apple juice (she HATED it with milk) and bananas.

Madison's first try with big girl food: apple juice and rice cereal

Memorial Day

Today reminds me that I am thankful for my husband, Adam. He has opened my eyes to what it means to be patriotic and to appreciate and honor those that have served our great country and those that have given the ultimate sacrifice. Before I met him, all I knew about the army was that I was sure glad I didn't have to be part of it. In the seven years we've been together, I have watched him lose several friends to the war overseas and have personally attended the funeral of one of those men. I think it was one the saddest yet most dignified experiences of my life. It opened my eyes to what it really costs for us to have the freedom we take for granted every day.

Thank you to all of the brave men and women that made those freedoms possible!
