Easter 2015



Happy Easter!  We had a wonderful weekend with family!  Friday evening the girls had a slumber party with the cousins at Grandma and Grandpa Demullings!  They were so excited and had such a great time!  We spent the day out there on Saturday and the girls enjoyed an Easter egg hunt and flying kites.  Then on Sunday after church we found some eggs in our back yard and then spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa Souvigniers and had another egg hunt and fun with the cousins.  The girls were pretty spoiled by the end of the weekend!  They're so lucky to have such great Grandmas and Grandpas :)

Spring Break 2015




Spring break this year entailed a trip to Eau Claire, WI.  What a fun time we had!  The girls weren't really excited about walking through campus, but Chuck and I enjoyed seeing all of the major changes that have taken place since we graduated.  The only thing the girls had on their mind was the Metropolis Resort.  They were at just the right ages to really enjoy the water slides and Action City.  It was a fun little get-away.

Happy Birthday Dad!!! 2015

Another great birthday dinner at the Gold Nugget!  The girls loved whispering to the waitress that it was their Dad's birthday!  Maggie even pulled out the bunny ears for the special occasion- actually she had a dress up day at school......we got some looks :)
There are three girls (well 4 if you count Lou) that consider themselves pretty lucky to have such a great guy in their lives.  I'm sure it's not always easy living in a house full of girls, but we all love him so much and would do anything for him.  Cheers and Happy Birthday Chuck!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2015

 The girls were excited to dress in green today to celebrate St. Patty's Day!  They both went to Peggy's since Maggie didn't have school and they had lots of stories about the leprechaun that visited the daycare! Sounds like he was a busy little dude. 
Peggy walked the kids down the street so that they could see the Hopkins St. Patty's Day parade and I met them there.  It was a very short and sweet- fun to see :)

Swimming Lessons Winter 2015

Maggie is really swimming well and able to go farther and farther on her own!  She loves going to lessons and can't wait until we start again this summer!

Ruby has come a long way.  She is much more comfortable putting her face in the water and even swam down to the bottom of the pool to get rings off the floor on her last day of class!

Happy Valentines Day 2015


Happy Valentines Day!  This year Valentines Day was on a Saturday!  Chuck and I got a babysitter and snuck away for a quick lunch date and then we took the girls to Ballet class.  After class we went to the Willeston Center and went swimming since it was way to cold to do anything outside!  The girls did great!  We spent most of our time in the big pool and Maggie even jumped into the deep end and tried to touch the bottom with her feet.  With Chuck's help she got all the way down there a couple of times!  Ruby enjoyed jumping in from the side too!  On our way home, we stopped at Papa Murphys for a heart shaped pizza.  It was a great day! 

Another great Fr. Meyers Getaway!



We had another great Fr. Meyers getaway this year.  There is something about that place that definitely draws us back.  This year we stayed at the Pink Shell again.  The weather was a little cooler than last year, but we still had a great time.  We went on lots of walks on the beach and saw dolphins swimming right by our resort every morning.  We were there for a long weekend Friday-Monday. 
Friday evening we met up with Keith and Amanda who just recently moved down there and then on Saturday afternoon we went over to Dave and Patty's beach house and met up with Margo and Dan and Mike and Duffy.  Sunday was the warmest day of the weekend and we hung out by the pool all day, went paddle boarding in the ocean, and then went out for a nice dinner that evening. 
The girls had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa!  So nice of them to come and stay here and watch crazy Lou too :)
