random ramblings

Another great weekend. Filled with relaxation, great weather, grilling, friends, parks and G being great.
He's really developing his little personality and is so much fun to be around. He still has his days...the clingyness and all that...but overall he seems to be coming more relaxed.


Wisconsin Dells got some REALLY bad weather over the weekend. So bad that it completely drained Lake Delton! This is a big tourist attraction, so it's super sad that the whole thing just washed away! Dave, Cindy and the kids were there just a couple days before watching the Tommy Bartlett show. Now this is all that is left:

Pretty sad.

Dan and I are trying to decide if we should go to my cousins wedding in July. The whole family will be there (minus Dawn and the kids, and Michael). We would really like to be there, but money and vacation time is a factor. We are taking a week off at the end of June to do a Madison/Milwaukee/Chicago road trip. So, not sure about taking more time off.
In addition...I have signed up for a 5K run that falls on this weekend.
I am REALLY trying to set some goals, and train (so I can possibly run the entire 5K, rather than walk any). I would be bummed to miss it, as Dina, Jes and Pi are all doing it too..so great motivation.
I guess if we end up going I'll just sign up for one the following weekend...

We are going to Stillwater this Saturday, June 14 for our 5 year anniversary. G will sleep over at his cousins - Jake and Sam's house.

We are REALLY looking forward to the evening. We are staying at the elephant walk:
www.elephantwalkbb.com in the Cadiz Garden Suite. We stayed there when we first started dating. It's great.
We're hoping G does fine...i'm sure he will. Gregg will be on his own with the kids for awhile, as Dawn is working some during the weekend.
I think Dan and i will go to dinner, talk about life, goals, our wonderful 5 years together and all that we have left to look forward to.
i can't believe 5 years of marriage has gone by....it's flown. We've managed to get through Dan's graduate school (although if you ask him he is still bitter...), various jobs, 3 houses, loss of family, additions to our family, our most awesome little guy, various health scares for our family as well as some friends, some great trips and just wonderful memories that we will continue to build.

As much as we love our little guy and will miss him like crazy...having a little bit of time to ourselves is going to be great and much needed. We'll be better parents for it when we get to see him Sunday (fathers day!)

And I'm sure we'll spoil him that day!
