A Celebration For Healthy Hearts!

Herma Heart Center (from Children's Hospital of WI) has an annual event for children who have gone through open-heart surgery. It was, of course, our first year participating, and we all had thankful hearts for our little Erin!! We had a lot of fun at the event which was at the local children's museum. We met many families and even recognized a few.


The kids took full advantage of all that was offered...





Mike strategically placed the bench here so he and Erin could take full advantage of the fish.




Nothing like playing in water....






And if you think the excitement ends there, you are mistaken. On the way home we were pulled over by a police officer, sirens and all. Moira, our camera happy girl, didn't waste any time snapping a picture of the confused faces in the back seat. Of course she put the camera away when the officer started shining his flashlight into the car :) As it turns out we had a back tail light out. Whew....and you all thought Mike was speeding didn't you? ;) Thankfully, we just got a friendly warning.

Father-Daughter Dance

It's once again time for the much anticipated Father-Daughter Dance for home schoolers in our area. The girls look forward to this event all year! Here are a few pictures I took just before they headed out the door. I'll try to post another picture of Mike with five of his girls (Erin's too young to go) soon! I think it was the year of the polka dots...
