Letter to Brett Favre

Dear Brett,

So, you changed your mind and now you’re a Viking. And you think your true fans will understand. But before the season gets underway, there’s a thing or two we’d like to get off our chest. We know you have time to read this since you tend not to want to spend a lot of time practicing anymore.

You say your legacy is your own whether we like it or not? We disagree. While no one can argue that your talents aren’t incredible and that your accomplishments aren’t amazing, we want to point out that you forgot something. You forgot about us. We were the ones who watched you every week from the stands and from our living rooms.

We were the ones watching when you completed your first pass as a Packer to yourself.

We were the ones watching when you and Reggie White and Mike Holmgren and so many others made it to the Super Bowl and brought the Lombardi Trophy home.

We were the ones who welcomed you home when you lost the next Super Bowl. We were sad, but still proud of you and your teammates and still happy to be Packer fans.

We were the ones who didn’t judge you when you had personal issues, and defended your honor to lesser fans of the game.

Back from Hawaii

Whew! We're back but we need another week to recouperate! Blog-to-you then!

Happy Birthday Uncle Darryl

Vacation time

We will be taking a much needed vacation to Hawaii this week. Photos to follow when we return.

A new carseat

We bought Katie's 2nd carseat yesterday. It, along with a raw carrot, kept Katie occupied for 30 minutes! (The carrot did not last that long--thanks, Shadow).

17 inches of Zucchini

Riddle Delights

We're resting up after yesterday's fun-loving District 44 picnic yesterday! Katie loved swimming in the pool, and Gianna jumped to Ashley in the pool at least 212 times!

Needless to say, we're resting and staying hydrated on this sunny (and humid) Sunday.

On Monday, someone gave us this riddle. Can you figure it out? (No cheating, mom!)

Updates and Katie pics

I don't know how life has been for you lately, but ours has been busy! First, Ava (Ashley's co-worker) put in her 3 week notice, so Ashley has been trying to find a replacement. Earlier in the week, we learned that the mother of Bryan's boss suffered a blood clot. Today we learned that one of Bryan's co-workers (the third doctor at the Oconomowoc office)also has a blood clot! For the last 3 Friday afternoons, Ashley has watched Peyton. Also, we are revving up to go on our anticipated honeymoon--5 years later! We leave for Hawaii next week.

Today Katie took 2 steps--and fell on her bottom. Her new favorite past time is holding our finger as she walks around the house.

Here are some fun pictures for your viewing enjoyment.
