New Shelves

I have grad school all weekend (BOO!!) and came home to these lovely new shelves that Chris and Brevis (Chris' friend) built in one of the basement storage rooms. We can now easily see what we have in there! Next weekend's task is to go through those bottom bins that have been packed since we moved from college! We're starting to get the basement ready for an office and more organized scrapbooking area.

Valentine's Day

I had class both days of Valentine's Day weekend and Chris had a wrestling tournament, so we made pizza with heart pepperoni on Friday night. I got Chris a new Wii game, so we played bocce ball, shuffleboard, and ladder ball too. Chris was pretty excited to play some of his favortite outside games inside!

Ice Sculptures

We went to Lake Geneva to see the ice sculptures on Feb. 8th. Because of the warm temperatures we had over the weekend, the ice sculptures were in pretty bad shape. We weren't able to make out what they were suppose to be. We still had fun walking around and looking in some of the shops. We watched the helicopter land and take off from the beach a few times.

What's all the Green Stuff, Mom?

Marley is seeing some unusual colors outside this weekend! We've been seeing white for so long we forgot there were other colors out there! After the amazing 53 degree day we had yesterday we're beginning to say goodbye to the mounds of snow in our yard! I looked at the hydrangeas and there are leaf buds on some of them! The boxwoods look great even though they've been covered with snow for so long!

Hmmm...what's going on out there?

Chris, Andrea, Steve, and I went to see the Lonely Ninjas at the Wine Knot Last night. The singer, John, is a friend from high school and sang at our wedding.

The Ninjas jamming out!

The Many Faces of Nadia

Chris and I went to Minnesota this weekend and were able to spend some time with his family. Nadia is almost three months old and is growing fast! We got to see her smile and beautiful blue eyes!

Happy Girl
Sleepy!!

I'm not sure what I think about you taking my picture!

Ugly Sweater Christmas Party

Saturday night was the UGES Christmas party. This year's theme was ugly Christmas sweaters. The attire was completed with red and green flashing lightbulb earrings.
