Webster defines “dog days” as...
1 : the period between early July and early September when the hot sultry weather of summer usually occurs in the northern hemisphere
2 : a period of stagnation or inactivity
The Sweet Corn Festival in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. It was exactly what we pictured a small town Mid-west festival to be......Perfect!
You lined up and got a box full of steamed corn and you could butter it and here is where you would salt it. It TRULY was the best corn we have ever had.
Colonel Corn (check out his sneakers.)
Spencer was the only one riding the RIDE THE DRIVE with a tie. People would comment and he would say, "Hey, I just got back from Church". We aren't used to events being held on Sundays
They closed the city and 30 thousand people rode around the city with ....
Lance Armstrong. Spencer was creeped out at Lance staring at him.
We spent the weekend with our friends Mike and Petra in Chicago. We stopped at Potesta's (yes our relatives). Best Pizza we have had East of the Mississippi.
Kate and Kaylee. They have been friends since they were babies. When the saw each other there was squealing and screaming and Kate picked Kaylee up and spun her around.
Petra babysat while we went to dinner. We ate downtown at a fun Thai place. Yeah 7 years!!!!!!
Me and Petra chillin at her house.
Milwaukee. It was such a unique city, great architecture mixed with industrialism. Cool.
Home in Madison. Gathering up some Squash at the community gardens
lounging around in our jammies
Playing with friends (Lizzie and Maka-Lizzie is from Uganda and Maka is from Zimbabwe)
Playing at the park. There are parks everywhere!!!!
Our Kitchen, when we get our couch we will show you our living room. It is really spacious, with tons of storage. We feel really blessed.
Bathroom
Girls Room
Getting ready for School (outfit Kate picked out-it came with pants but she insisted it was a ballett outfit). Kindergarten here we come.
When Jess saw all of Kate's school clothes and shoes, she cried and wanted school clothes so I let her pick some out. She picked out this skirt and a pair of pink shoes with flowers and diamonds.

What joo talkin about Wilis!?! Your home looks better than mine by 20 billion light years...
ReplyDeleteYah.. none of those references work... but it sounds cool anyways.
It was great seeing ya all!
Get used to stuff being on Sundays. It stinks. We like to write letters to the people in charge and tell them that they're ignoring a religious demographic by planning the way they do. Not sure if it has any effect, but oh well. ;)
ReplyDeleteI just got caught up on your blog... your new home looks SO nice and so beautiful! I'm really happy for you guys. I hope that Kate and Jess love this new land. :)
