First Of Many I Am Sure.....

Nico came down with his first illness this week! On Tuesday afternoon I noticed he had been very quiet for quite a few hours which is not like our little guy at all. He felt a little warm so we took his temperature. Ooops, it was 102! It fluctuated between 101-103 for the next 24 hours. We took him in on Wednesday to see the doc. Poor little dude had to have his finger pricked and everything. Apparently some sort of virus... nothing to be too alarmed about. He is doing much better today with what seems to be a little cold. Right now he is taking a nap...YES A NAP!!! WHOO HOOOOO!!

Circle Me Bert!

Shhhh, don't tell Mario but I took Nico to his first Twins game!!!

Manny, myself and the three kids all packed into the Mountaineer!
Two gals, two bjorns, two babies (two beers not shown) and Ruby!


It was an eventful and tiring day....for ALL OF US :)

Congrats to Anne and Scott

Anne and Scott were married on Saturday! What a gorgeous day, a beautiful bride, a handsome groom and a cutie pie for a bridesmaid! Congrats!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Belated Father's Day!!!

Happy Belated Father's Day to all the Dad's out there!!! Hope it was a good one....

Note To Self.....A.B.B.B

Where is Nico-
A. Fishing off of the pier
B. Building a sand castle
C. In line for ice cream
D. In Mom's arms because he decided the stroller was not his preferred method of transportation 1/2 way around the lake..

If you guessed D, please come claim your prize- you can pick him up at our house... just provide your own food and diapers :) Just kidding buddy....

Note to self- Always Bring Baby Bjorn (just in case)

Tummy Time

Tummy Time is going MUCH better. We even get some smiles every once in a while! Also, mister man can roll onto his back....but then is stuck there :)

Welcome to the 21st Century!!

Ok, anyone that has known me long enough knows I never felt the need to have a cell phone. I have a work phone with me 4 days a week, so what, am I going to pay $50 a month for the 10 minute drive to/from work? Um, no! My softball team would give me crap because they had no way of letting me know if they would be late for a game. Tough, show up on time then :) Plus, if I had one, my wife would be able to keep tabs on me! We can't have that now, can we? Well, having a child changed all that. Actually, it was this article that finally convinced me to get one:

So, there it is. I am now officially a part of the real world. No, I'll not be posting my # here...my voicemail wouldn't have enough space for all the crap I am about to take. I am, however, now accepting applications to be in my Fave Five...whatever that means :)

An Homage To The Felines In The Fam!
