This was Hailey’s and my last hoorah before Baby Boy arrives. I just had to get outta town and go somewhere new. Philly beckoned since I have three near-and-dears living in the area. Our itinerary started with a visit with some friends who lived in Louisville: Joanna, Nate, Landon, and Ellie. Ellie was just a wee […]

Keaton (Katie) and David tied the knot in the Oak Park area and we were lucky enough to attend. Auntie Marie was an awesome sitter! We had a great time strolling around Oak Park and hanging with the old SWEster crowd that weekend. I’ll have to find photos of the actual wedding and SWE friends.
The guys survived the sweltering heat while the girls opted for the air conditioning at the aquarium.
This trip was a big adventure for the family. We enjoyed time with the extended family at our traditional Up North spot, Cable, WI. Some highlights were hiking to the falls, the family gathering at house, canoeing on Lake Namakagen, hanging out at the Loon Saloon, and visiting with cousins next door. Note that the […]
Hailey’s first airplane trip was a success! Not a peep out of here on the way to Chicago, but some definite crying on the way back. The family loaded up the car and headed to Madison for the day on Saturday. We had a lovely breakfast with Anna on the way. Then off to State […]
Let me tell you, Nashville is a lot different when experienced with child as opposed to with a desire to drink bourbon and dance your heart out. Thankfully, it is a blast either way. I travelled to Nashville to celebrate Heather’s 30th in style. These girls know how to do it up right, and this […]
Dan and I had the pleasure of joining our friends Wade and Erika to celebrate their daughter’s, Keely’s, first birthday near Phoenix, Arizona. Keely is not only the cutest little girl, but she also our God daughter. It was a quick trip out there, but we packed in the fun. Saturday we saw two pro […]
It was so awesome to see the SWE gang at Riddhi’s and Amit’s wedding in Chicago! We all ate our fill of Indian food, caught up, cheered for Riddhi and Amit, and got to meet little Hazel. The girls were also kind enough to throw a baby sprinkle for baby Hart. So blessed to have […]
Last month I had the pleasure of spending a week out in Vegas for a work conference. The conference was definitely worthwhile, and I can’t imagine a better setting for such an event. Vegas really impressed me, in part because I had such low expectations, but more so because it is so visually stimulating. It’s […]
Mom and Dad treated themselves to a month in Ft. Myers this year and we worked it out so the whole family could spent a long weekend together. We all enjoyed seafood, sunshine, and gorgeous sunsets each day. We enjoyed a trip down memory lane at Lovers Key. That is where Dan proposed to me […]
I finally scheduled a trip to visit the Ross family out in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The trip was not only exciting because I got to see my good friends Joanna and Nate, but also because I got to meet their son, Landon (~4mo). And what a cutie he is! I enjoyed spending time with the baby. […]
