Ryan's wish list revised...

So for whoever has Ryan's ticket and thought about getting him a sherwood coffee hockey stick, he is officially removing it from his list (it wasn't listed on the list but he said it outloud at the formal supper). He has been using a different type of stick for a couple seasons now and that one broke...he went back to the sherwood and isn't used to it anymore...prefers the more expensive kind now. Sorry if you already purchased it. And if you like a gift cert to Sport Check could go towards a new stick.

Christmas Calendar...

These pictures were making me wonder...is Ashleigh willing to put the calendar together and if so...should be getting pictures to her soon?

Thinking ahead to Christmas

So, I've been crunching the numbers for this year's Christmas giving fun and here's the options...

Option #1
-Give 4 gifts per family, plus Mom, Dad, & Grandma.
- Give 7 gifts total
- Each person puts their name in once.

Option #2
- Give 6 gifts per family, plus Mom, Dad, & Grandma.
- Give 9 gifts total
- Each adult puts their name in once, each child 2x. (or visa versa if you want).

Option #3
- Give 8 gifts per family, plus Mom, Dad, & Grandma.
- Give 11 gifts total
- Each person puts their name in 2x.

Think about which option you (and your budgets) would prefer.

There was some talk that we'd like to get a jump on lists and drawing names before the Fancy Supper, but I'm not sure that we're all getting together before then. So, instead please bring your Christmas wish lists to the fancy supper.

Let me know if anything's unclear. Have a great day!

Thanksgiving

Hi all. What's the plan for our family's thankgiving? I can't believe that it's next weekend already!

Some pics from the weekend

Hi all! Here are some of the pics that I took on the weekend!

Shopping?

I've been looking at my fall wardrobe and thinking it is high time to cash in my birthday gift. Any one else? I was thinking either Sept 25 or Oct 2. They are both Saturdays.

September Birthdays

When is a good time to celebrate our September birthdays? The 11th is grandma's party....so would the 18th or 19th work?

The whole gang

Want to go to the movies?

Hi there!

I just found a whole bunch of 2 for 1 movie passes that we got from airmiles a while ago that expire on Aug 5th! Does anyone want some to go to the movies? There are some for Silver City and some for Grant Park. Let me know if you'd like to use them! We can arrange pick-up or drop-off.

Anniversary Party!

Thanks to our wonderful children and grandchildren. We had a great time and we love you lots!

Coupons

Hi there! Are any of you Huggies users? I somehow got on their list so they send me two sets of coupons every month or so. Can anyone use them?

More Pics!

Having so many good looking people at home is helping me improve my photography skills!

The Twins....

Finally, more pics!

We were waiting until all the scheduling was done so our pics didn't bump the planning post down. So without further ado...

Look what our kids can do now!!!

They're so cool!

More great pics to come later this week!

Braun events!

Kim says it works for them next weekend on Saturday the 12th for Emily & Isaac's coming out party. Also, we are looking at the 11th of July for a baby shower. Any ideas?

Bomber Games

So, Vince and I won't be able to make as many Bomber games as usual this year. How do you all want to split up the extra seats?

The pictures speak for themselves...

Look! Holding hands!


"Hey! Look at that sign!"


Silly faces!

Ok, so we realize we're "those parents"...

... you know, the ones who have those plastic accordion things in their wallet with a bazillion pictures of their kids and who will whip out the pics at every opportunity.

Except instead of a plastic thing, we have the blog.

Look who's home!

Emily came home on Wednesday, April 28th...


Isaac came home on Thursday, April 29th....


And here they are for their first photo shoot together!

April 25, 2010 Isaac & Emily

Isaac & Emily have been moved to the step-down room. They look great! A little more development and then home sweet home!

Couple more, just 'cause they're cute!

Ok, here's the last ones for today. These are from Days 2 and 3. Not much has changed, they're just really great looking kids!

Day 1

Here's a couple of pics from Day 1. Emily is in pink; Isaac in blue. It's my hand (Ash) in the picture with Isaac to give you an idea of their size.

Hours after Emily & Isaac were born...

Here's some pics from right after they were born with all of their tubes and such still in. Emily is lying on her tummy; Isaac on his back.
