Diaper Champ

Anna is earning her keep. A nearby grocery store hosted a crawling race. Anna took 2nd place and $75 in diapers! Woo hoo! Now, where is the crawling race that funds college?

Easter

Spring Break

More Spring Break photos of Claire, Anna and their buddies Elanor and Otto.

South Carolina

Spring Break 2009 landed us in South Carolina with our buddies The Hubers. I will post more photos later, but here are some pics of the girls looking happy and warm with the youngest Hubers; Otto and Elanor. The drive was long (Mapquest's 18 hours = 22 with necessary wiggle breaks), but soooooooooooooo worth it. Temps in the 70s, the beach...I'm ready to go back.

Tooth Update

A good picture of Anna's newest tooth (on top) and of Anna and my dad sharing a laugh. Click on the picture for a closer look at the shiny new tooth!

Early St. Pat's Day and a Wedding

This past weekend we ventured to Chicago. The girls stayed with our good friends the Hubers. Check out Claire and her good buddy Elanor taking in a St. Patrick's Day parade. The girls also enjoyed lunch with their friend Julia.


We had dinner with the extended family -- our girls love my cousins; the Riley Girls.


Ryan and I attended my cousin Mike's wedding. Check it out -- everybody all dressed up!

Victorious!

We reigned supreme at the Bauch Family's Annual Macaroni and Cheese Cook Off! The trophy has taken its place of honor in the center of the mantel. Claire still prefers Kraft.
