more to come!

we ARE still around... we've just been too busy, it seems. with madison more adamant about what she wants, it's getting harder and harder to blog as often as i'd like. such is life... to recap the past 1/2 a week: kelvin had off on friday (he was working 4 10-hour days) so we scooted down to appleton to look around. found a few deals and got a kiddie pool to boot. sarah came and got cole on saturday to take him and his overnight bag to the farm... he's stayed overnight there himself only one other time, when madi was born. but i was too preoccupied to really think about it too much. i was hesitant to let him go- i trust mom and dad fully, but i know how my very busy and spirited little man can be...! i thought for sure i'd at least tear up, watching him ride away, but i didn't; not that i didn't miss him (i did!). it was a nice day for us- we just had madison, and she was SO good all day! we drove down to oshkosh for little j's birthday party and then decided to sneak in a dinner out, just the (almost) two of us. we were going to go to olive garden but didn't feel like waiting the 30 minutes or more for a table so we went to outback steakhouse instead. i'd never been there since i'm NOT a steak person. about 2 bites will last me a year... so i had a baked potato and ceasar side salad and that was great plenty. it was SO good!

we hit the memorial day parade in green bay with kandace, duey and kelvin's parents today... i took way too many photos. again. but in my defense, i was playing around with a few settings, so... :) since they're all on the olympus and we don't have a card reader, it will take f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to upload the photos; i'll plug it in tomorrow while i do dishes or something and well, you'll just have to pop in tomorrow sometime!

*i think i've just committed myself to posting tomorrow- whups. happy kids or not, i guess i'll have to do it!*
