Winter Strikes Again

A sad reminder of what Spring is really like in Minnesota. Or, what happens everytime Justin leaves the sate to play golf. It's just not fair!!

Check out "Mommy Milly"....

Milly Style

Milly fully enjoyed "Children Appreciation Week" at school a couple of weeks ago. She goes to Kinderberry Hill on Mondays and Tuesdays and each day that week was a different theme. Here she's posing her duds from P.J. and favorite sports team day.

Today we had her 2-year doctor appointment AND her school conferences. She did exceptionally well at each and received lots of praise for her 30+ month level of accomplishments. Apparently, making the #2 sign with her fingers is a big deal and a sign of intellence at this age (we'll see how long that lasts--remember who her parents are). She weighed in just under 21 lbs and she's a towering 32 inches - about 5th percentile against National averages. She's a smart little peanut!

Milly's 2nd Birthday

Milly turned two on Saturday, April 19 and we had fun celebrating all weekend long. The weather was a bright and sunny 70 degrees on Sunday and we had a BBQ with Justin's family.

Weekend highlights included multiple calls from friends and family singing Happy Birthday to Milly, Milly's second haircut, Milly sneaking and opening a present when no one was looking, watching Milly finally figure out how to hold up 2 fingers,and actually squeezing 8 people and 3 dogs onto our new screen porch!

Justin is traveling this week for his National sales meeting in Marco Island, FL. He left this morning wearing shorts so I gave him a hard time. He's playing a lot of golf so he brought his clubs. Watch out dad!

We're definitely looking forward to visiting Colorado and watching A graduate. I can't believe it. Andrew sent Milly another 365 folded paper cranes last week so we think she's close to the good luck of having 1000. Thanks Godfather.

Russell is 60 and Sexy!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Russ! We look forward to celebrating Russell's 60th birthday at Red Stag Supper Club on his birthday, Saturday, April 12. Russ is now the proud (100%) owner of 4640 London Road in chilly Duluth, MN. We look forward to cheering on the runners at Grandma's Marathon on Saturday, June 21st. Save the date now and get your cow bells ready!!

It's Milly Time!

Cheese! I had such a fun weekend.


Mommy and I played all day on Friday--she hardly worked at all and I loved it! Daddy worked from home, but he was locked in the office so I couldn't bother him. We went and looked at a new house in the afternoon, but both Mommy and Daddy said it was best to wait before making any purchase decisions. I picked out my room--it had blue shag carpet and there was a copy of Goodnight Moon on the bedside table. It was a very old copy and Mommy said I couldn't touch it, but I did anyways. After that we went to PetSmart and picked up some Pro Plan for Marge. I got to look at all of the fish and the parrots were whistling at me. I couldn't whistle back, but I tried. We dropped Daddy off at home and Mommy took me to my favorite place--The Mall!

See my new shoes? I got them at The Mall. I tried on lots of shoes because my feet have grown. The lady said I needed a size 51/2 wide. I said I wanted the pink and purple ones. Mommy didn't agree, but I got cool tennies and Tevas that both have pink on them. I guess I still need white sandals, but this store didn't have any that we liked.

On Saturday Nana and Grandpa Frys took me to the zoo. It was super busy and the lines were long. I was a good girl and stayed in my stroller. I saw huge fish, camels, birds, tigers and baby farm animals. It was very sunny and warm outside. I wore my sun glasses. I fell asleep on the car ride home. Nana fixed my hair after my nap and we went out to dinner. Mommy and Daddy came to dinner too.

On Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Grant's house. It was cold, but I ran around and made sure there weren't any gobblins. Elmo came too. We went to Lowes and made a new key for their house. After ensuring the key worked, we went to Barkers for lunch and I had my own rootbeer!! Daddy said I almost ruined my appetite, but I ate my entire hotdog and Oreo cookie. I fell asleep on the ride home.

Such a busy weekend. I have school tomorrow, so I hope Mommy lets me write more later. Bye!
