Special Family Moments

After a few days in IL for Camp Oma, we made our way north to WI where most of my family resides.  We've had a blast sharing special moments with different family members since being here.


Our first Friday we spent with Grandma Feyereisen fixing puzzles, making meatloaf and cleaning eggs.  I gained a whole new respect about life on the farm.

That night we headed out to Naomi's house, but all the pictures were taken on her camera.  Ooops!  Super cute apartment though.

The next day we headed down to Kyle and Krystin's where we met our new niece, Brooke.  It was her first day home, but she was wide awake and so cute!  You forget how tiny they are.

 Sunday was our church presentation in which we challenged people and shared with them what we've been doing these past few months as well as our plans for the future.  Then we enjoyed our first family lunch since we arrived.

Monday was spent at Regner Park in West Bend with Aunt Beth.  The girls loved the pond and Katy really impressed us with her new found swimming skills (she had lessons for 6 weeks during the school year).

 That night we went to Aunt Carol's house for dinner.  It was a wonderful meal where we caught up with two aunts, cousins (sorry Noelle, I don't have the pics to post) and Grandparents.

The following night we drove out to Madison to visit Nathan and his girlfriend, Emily.  It was our first time officially meeting them and it turned out to be a nice visit.  The girls latched on to the couple right away.

Since Laura is still living with Mom and Dad, we've gotten to spend time with her throughout the weeks.  The girls really enjoy playing pretty much anything that someone else wants to do with them.

 Our trip is only beginning and we've been super busy.  I can't believe how much we've done so far!!  Next stop July 4th, Emily and Tony's wedding, and the zoo!!!
