Yesterday
Seems like yesterday that we built the house in Pewaukee.....
I held her little 3 yr old hand into the fresh concrete of the front sidewalk on the day that they poured it. Here we are 13 years later...
Jake is on the other side of the walk.....
now, how do I get him to pose for the same photo?
Braden's Birthday
I love birthday parties for little kids....
This was the first birthday of my cousin Braden.
Posing with Gramma
Not too sure what to think of this gift opening stuff.
One candle.
Umm..this is MY cake. Get your own!
Yummy!
Taking it all in from my seat of honor.
Posing with Mom and Dad.
Back to the gift opening...Happy 1st Birthday Braden!
Four Months !
WOW....I can't believe it's been four months since I posted on my blog. What happened???
Well..the number one thing is called "Facebook" Yep, I signed up for an account. Despite my daughter telling me that "old people shouldn't have Facebook".... ....I love it!
What a great way to stay connected with family, friends, co-workers .... and even contact and catch up with old friends from my past. I have become re-aquainted with people that I haven't seen in almost 20 years. Friends from high school, college, church, the old neighborhood, work, and even people that I babysat for long ago.
And, of course, there's Farmville. Yes, I have a farm on the internet. It is so theraputic to come home from work, have dinner with Mandy, spend a bit of time together and then go and take care of my chickens and cows. As pathetic as this sounds...it's relaxing.
Just as long as the farm doesn't interfere with the Tonight Show...which I must see every night.
Work days are long and weekends busy..... everyone who reads this silly blog is on my Facebook, except my parents, so I have just been depending on Facebook.
I started to miss the blog....it seems like a more permanent memory of our lives. Nothing exciting has happened...nobody said their first word or learned to walk....those days are long gone, but there are still memories.
So here I go..
I apologize for the posts that I did late at night...= boring, and the fact that most photos are just people lined up like soldiers. I have to include more candid photos......
oh well.....

Butterflies
It's amazing how you don't realize what you have in your own town.....
well in Milwaukee anyway.
Once again, I ventured out with my students...this time to the Public Museum. I had never seen the butterfly exhibit. It was really cool!
You're in this big greenhouse type room and
they literally land anywhere they want to.
In addition to the fully grown butterfly, you can watch each and every stage of their development... from caterpillar on..right in front of you.
And you can touch and hold them.
We did the whole Milwaukee thing and

yes, we visited the creepy old lady in the rocking chair too.
She has been rocking in that Museum since I was a kid.
Anyone who has been to MPM knows the old lady.
Scarry.
My Class 2009-2010
Our "Christmas" photo:
They are wearing the sweatwhirts that I was able to buy them using donations from family and friends.
The classroom is sooo cold during the winter
and few of them have more than 1 short sleeve uniform shirt.
They are not allowed to wear any type of sweatshirt
unless it meets the guidelines of the uniform code.
So basically most of them freeze all winter
because they cannot afford
another uniform shirt.
I was also able to get them each a little bag with a Christmas gift and candy.
They also each made a nice homemade card for their family
using materials supplied by my sister.
Thank you to:
Mom, Dad, Teddy, Candy, Judy, Tim, Jacki, Carla, Toots,
Kathy, and friends from Foxwood subdivision.
