Some new photos from the past month have been added to the May – June 2008 album. (And can I say for the record that it’s really scary that the month of May is almost over already?!?). The last time Cole was here with us, he brought with him some hats and other toys that he used to play with that he thought his brothers would like. And boy, they sure did. We have pirates, cowboys, and firefighters running around here on a pretty regular basis now! Some other fun pictures include a day at the park with Debbie and her niece, Jordan, and our little chefs helping prepare a pizza dinner. Enjoy!
FYI, I never posted a note about it last month, but I did add quite a few pictures in April, so if you haven’t seen them yet, be sure to check them out!

Today, Joe and I are celebrating five amazing years of marriage. It’s incredible what can happen in just five years’ time – we’ve built a big new home out in the country and filled it with a big family with lots of love and lots of energy. Even our employers have changed. But even with all the changes, one constant still holds true through it all – we still love each other as deeply and truly as the day we got married. Here’s to many, many more.

Happy spring everyone! It may be spring, but that doesn’t mean that snow season is over yet in Minnesota, as is evidenced in a number of pictures in the Mar-Apr 2008 album. Debbie and the boys went out and played in the snow one day about a week and a half ago, but it melted quickly that day – the big snowman was in pieces by the time I came home from work. The next day, they were out riding bikes in the beautiful weather. Two days later on Good Friday, we had 8 inches of snow fall, plus 2 more the next day. Days later, it’s all gone again. Ya gotta love Minnesota weather…
We had a lot of fun on Easter this year. The Easter bunny left gifts for the little guys, Cole and Joe made a fantastic breakfast for us all, and we had fun playing with all sorts of eggs. Two of my favorite new words were invented on this day: cup-ets and bunny beans. “Cup-ets” was Alex’s attempt to say buckets, which was what the Easter bunny left their goodies in. He was so cute as he tried so hard to say it right. “Bunny beans” are more commonly known as jelly beans, but I think we’ll be forever calling them bunny beans now thanks to both Zach and Alex. Check out the pictures in the Easter 2008 album.
