I know.... Haven't figured out how to rotate video yet...

Update: I give up. Just turn your head 90 degrees.

Fishing trip in Algoma, WI

Grandma and Grandpa Demulling set up a fun weekend for us in Algoma, WI salmon fishing. We stayed in a great place right on Lake Michigan and had lots of luck fishing. Here are a few pictures from the trip!

Maggie is ONE!

Happy Birthday Maggie!! We had a great day! Both Grandma and Grandpas, Toni, D, Sid, Cullen, Chris, Jen, and Jack all came to celebrate! Paul and Jenelle stopped by too! Here are a few pictures from the day! Thanks for all of the great gifts!

May Gatherings

May was filled with a lot of fun family gatherings! It started off with Trent and Aimee and the kids coming to visit. It was so nice to see them and celebrate Ella's 4th birthday with her! All of the cousins had fun together!
The Souvigniers came over to our house for a little Mother's Day/ Chris's birthday BBQ.
And we kicked off the summer by going up to the cabin over Memorial Day weekend. It was beautiful up there and so relaxing to hang out by the lake and have some great bonfires! I am so anxious for school to be out and summer to really start! Maggie is at such a fun age right now!! She is clapping her hands, waving bye bye and doing "so big" when she feels like it- which is usually not on cue!
More May picures are posted in the web album!

I LOVE being a mom!

It's Sunday night, Mother's Day. Chuck and Maggie and I had a great weekend and got to spend time with both of our great moms!! I'm just getting ready to go to bed and reflecting on how fortunate I feel. I stretched out Maggie's bedtime routine a bit tonight......played a little bit longer while she was getting into her jammies, rocked her a little bit more after she finished her bottle, and then I smiled as I watched her snuggle up to her blanket and drift off to sleep in her crib.
Being a Mom is amazing! It makes me appreciate even more all that my own mom has done for me through all the years. THANKS Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

Easter 09'

Maggie had a great first Easter! We went to Grandma and Grandpa Souvigniers in the morning and then headed out to Grandma and Grandpa Demulling's for the afternoon. It was fun to get her all dressed up! She wasn't a big fan of keeping her matching hat on though. We added a few more pictures to the Easter album. That's it for Maggie's first holidays! Our little girl is almost one!!
