YAY! Chicken Legs

Kate tried out a little chicken on a bone for lunch (and dinner) yesterday. Good times! We'll be doing this more often, as it was tasty, entertaining and kept her happy for a long time in the high chair.

Joey is Catching Up!

Joey Cooper and Kate visit on a daily basis and we've been monitoring Joey's swift growth with side-by-side pictures of the two of them. Please enjoy the latest "measurement". It seems that either Kate is shrinking or Joey is getting bigger and bigger by the day.

God Made Dirt...

God made dirt, so dirt don't hurt! Kate and I did some gardening today and she decided that dirt is fun to play in and to eat. While I pulled out the weeds, Kate tasted them. She also tried out her new toy - which is very exciting inside the house, but outside requires shoes, since her toes drag. She is a monkey.

Enjoy the slide show of our trip to Westby, WI!

Westby, WI

We were in Westby, WI this weekend (August 11-14, 2007).

We went to Viroqua, Coon Valley, Cashton, the Westby ski jump, Dregne's and the Westby Creamery. We went to the Westby Municipal Pool where Kate romped in the baby pool. Brad climbed on rocks at Davidson Park. We had dinner with Kevin Sloane and his wonderful family at their home deep in the Wisconsin countryside, where Kate laughed at goats and pet a bunny. We drove the Great River Road along the Mississippi River from Lynxville to La Crosse. We bought a Norwegian nisse figurine that now sits in our front lawn. We even canoed the Kickapoo River. Kate came home with her two top teeth.

Most importantly, we spent quality time with Brad's great grandmothers, grandma and extended family.

It was wonderful trip.
