madison visits madison (again)

A couple of weekends ago we took a trip to Wisconsin. Kevin wanted to kick off his summer break right, by taking a little trip to "get away from it all." We were hoping for some nice, warm weather but it ended up being a bit chilly. The sun peeked out for a while on Monday, though, so we enjoyed it while it made its appearance. Here's a few photos of us on the Terrace at UW. Gotta love the giant orange chair!

Nothing's cuter than kids captured on video, right? Here's the latest from our budding musician-child (and no, we're not pushing her!):

with a spring in your step...

I know, enough with the spring comments already. But I can't help it...it feels so good to get outside! When it's not raining that's where we spend the bulk of our time. Here are a few pictures of our outdoor activities lately.

We also belong to a new playgroup! Well, it's not exactly new...a group of us who attended Storytime each week at the library decided that since the program is on hiatus during the sumer, there's no reason why we had to stop meeting. So the plan is to continue to get together on Thursday mornings (when Storytime has been held) and visit a different park in town each week. The kids are around the same age (2-3) so it's nice for Madison to get some social time. Well, I get social time too...that's part of my motivation, I have to admit!
