April, May

Time to get back up to date on our photo albums. April was a time of lots of indoor and outdoor fun, with Easter included. We have a bunch of stuff from May. First is Sara's first communion weekend. Then we have her birthday and Mother's Day. Mixed in there are pictures from softball and soccer, along with a trip to Mulberry Farm. More to come!

Dance Recital

Sara had her dance recital over the weekend, and was quite photogenic. We added photos from it to our March album (check at the bottom). We were also able to record both of her dances:

Winter and Spring

More pictures and videos for you to view. First is January, with some winter fun and some trips to the dentist. Next is February, with trips to locations cold and warm. Finally there is March, which currently has pictures from our trip to Camp Luther.

We also have some new videos. The first two are parent viewing days with Sara's dance, where we get a second look at Sara's recital dances. The final one is a creation from Technology Night at Sara's school, where we learned about what can be created using some toys, a pizza box, bright green spray paint, and a green screen app for the iPad.

November, December

Boy, do I have a lot of stuff to share with you. Let's start with the photo albums. We were a little late with getting November photos up, but you can view them here now. We also have an album for December, with concerts, wintertime, and Christmas stuff going on.

And now, here are the videos. First is a set from Sara's Christmas concert at school. There were four songs that they sing, and Sara had a speaking part in the middle of it:

For Sara's dance class, parents were given an opportunity to sit in and watch what was going on. They did a performance for us that we were able to record:

We need a Will video as well. Here he is with singing a verse of The 12 Days of Christmas:

Finally, we went to a concert at the start of the month to see Jimmy Eat World and Fitz & the Tantrums, among others. We thought you would enjoy singing along to a performance of Handclap that we recorded:

August, September, October

Well, we may have fallen a little behind in uploading our photo albums online. There hasn't been an update since early August. That album has a few updates to it, with out trip to Bay Beach amusement park and the open house at the start of Sara's school year. September has the start of school (2nd grade for Sara, preschool for Will) and Will's 4th birthday. We also started our October album. So far it just has our trip to the apple orchard, with the kids climbing the trees to pick a few fresh ones.

More Photos

OK, it's a little late, but we finally have our photo album from Weiland week up at the cabin. Lots of water skiing (including Will!), tubing, and other fun and games.

We also have some other pictures from August. So far it's just from the National Night Out and movie in the park right behind our house. The foam was the big attaction. And we might as well re-post the July album, in case you haven't seen the addition of the trip to the Packers Hall of Fame since the original one went out.

Michigan, June, July

With all the information and links in the Great Britain post, we thought it would be a good idea to create a separate one for all the other albums we have. First off is June, which had softball, road races, and water balloon fights. Next up is our album from our time in Michigan, before and after we traveled abroad. Finally is the start of our July album, keep looking back for more as the month continues!

Trip to Great Britain

For our tenth anniversary, we decided to take a big trip, and ended up visiting Scotland and England in June. Now we've finally compiled all the pictures and videos we took for you to see. First of all, here is the photo album for you to view. Laura made sure to caption everything to help explain it all. I took a few other panoramic photos to go with it. Here is Caisteal Maol on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Next are the Cliffs of Dover. It was too cloudy to see France from there. Finally, we have a few videos that we took while we were on our trip. First, here is a look at the Fairy Pools on Skye:



Next, we have a few of the heavyweight events from the Highland Games in Ceres. The first one shows the last round of the weight toss for height. The second is from the Ceres Stane, as the champion made an attempt at a record.






And lastly, here is a video of Big Ben ringing that I took on our last night in London:

Catching Up

So, it looks like it's been quite a while since we put up an update. Quite a lot has happened since February. First, here are the videos that we have. They are from Sara's birthday party, and both children proved to be pretty good at roller skating. Here's the one time I could sort of catch Sara as she was flying by:

And here's Will using the support to move himself along:


And now on to photo albums. March had snow, water parks, and Easter. April had a whole assortment of activities. May had birthday parties, softball, and so much more. Enjoy!

January and February Photos

Sorry, forgot about January photos. They are here for you to peruse. We also have February up for your viewing pleasure. And to make up for the long wait, here are some videos of us we have sliding down the hills. We have Will and mommy sliding down Thunderbolt, and Sara taking a turn on her own down the bunny slope.
