Weekend Wrap Up

Took the boys to "Take a Brat to Work Day", that is, of course, brat as in bratwurst.
A great breakfast before heading to school on Friday

A visit from Levi. This was the best thing that happened all week.

And his parents thought I was doing them a favor!
He loved getting sprayed with the hose.

Saturday dinner: tenderloin, roasted onions, potatoes, and grilled veggies

Josie, her Mom and S after dinner

Sunday drive to New Glarus and lunch at Glarner Stube

The world's best cheese curds, in a beer batter.

Every bite was like this.

This was my lunch. A flank steak sandwich, perfectly cooked medium rare. The bun was great, and the roasted pepers were amazing. I would have this again in a heartbeat.

Brenda's Blumenladen

I wanted everything in the nursery and gift shop!

I have to go back (without my husband!)

Went to the cemetary to honor B's father, a veteran of the Korean War

Both boys added flags to his grave site. It joined the one placed by the VFW.

Farmer's Market

Reading in the hammock

We did a little antiquing this weekend, HUGE (and heavy) bowl $35

Silver platter, got for $1.50, yes, that is correct one dollar and fifty cents!

I know! I couldn't believe it either!

Please Don't Eat the Daisies!

Levi, you blow the dandelion, not eat 'em!

Can we keep him?

Levi came to spend the day yesterday, and my baby want is now in overdrive! He is so sweet! He just laughed and smiled, and looked around. My boys thought he was marvelous!

Levi and His New Lovey

"Ah, Mademoiselle, are you flirting with me? Oui! You naughty girl, you just want to see my new puppy."

I am so glad that Levi likes him present. This has become my go-to baby gift. Soft, washable, and personalized. My boys each had one, and they still love them. Check out www.monogramchick.com

Dear Levi

Dear Levi,

I know you are only a few hours old, but you have to know what a lucky little boy you are! You have such a wonderful Mommy. She has been waiting, with a huge smile on her face, for 9 long months. Now, I know your Daddy is great too, but your Mommy's feet haven't touched the ground since last fall, so be extra nice to her. Always give her kisses and hugs, try to take crayons, chapstick and legos out of your pockets, before they go into the wash. Tell her you love her, and that she is the bestest Mommy ever, because she is! Welcome to the world, Levi. It's yours for the taking!
