Our Newest Blogster

Hi everyone.
Poppy added me to the "News from WI" blog. He also created an email account for me to use to post and comment to the blog. I'm looking forward to seeing all the new posts, especially those about me.
Bye for now.
Love,

Check out a couple of photos of Poppy and me.

Sweet, sweet little Charlotte

On July 14, 2009, GG and Poppy received the long awaited, but somewhat early, call from MN. A new baby has arrived. Sweet little Charlotte is now the newest member of the family. Of course, Poppy was still in bed, but GG was ready to go. By the time we (Poppy) got up, packed, watered flowers, dropped Molly off at her sitter's, and gassed up the car, you (Charlotte) were nearly 8 hours old. My, how time flies. Needless to say, once we hit the road, Poppy put the petal to the metal, but how fast can one go in a 4 banger Honda? Not fast enough! We made it though, and saw the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world on her very first day. You are such a wonderful addition to the family.
Goddy love. Hope to see you soon.

Here are some photos and videos to celebrate the occasion.

Door County, WI

On the 4th of July weekend, 2009, Mama and Katie and Pappy dumped the dog off at KK's new house and hit the road to Door County WI, by way of Green Bay. (Yes, I know, what the heck is going on here? Dad driving on a national holiday!) The weather was great, the crowds less than expected, and the federal government rate at the Holiday Inn very reasonable. Despite a major detour enroute which Tommy took care of for us nicely, it was a very good trip. Prime rib, craft fairs, scenic overlooks, gift shops, Lambeau Field, the Oshkosh Outlet Mall, and lots of shopping were all on the agenda. Here are photos and videos to document the trip. And who knows, maybe we'll all be there next fall.

Thomas says: "Happy Birthday Oliver."

On the weekend of June 27, GG and Poppy (and Tim and Sarah) traveled to Chaska, MN to revel in the 2nd anniversary of Oliver's birth. What an entirely different person young Oliver is now than he was 2 years ago. He’s now become quite the young man, yet still remains the ladies man. Just look at all the hotties who attended the festivities! Here are Poppy’s photo and video highlights of that special day.
