A House Divided

There once was a couple who got married and certain individuals were genuinely concerned regarding the feasibility of a union of one Packer fan and one Viking fan. Could it work?

The couple made it work with a minimum of ill will, persevering through wins and losses. There were even times when they could concede that the other person's team played well.

Then God gave them twins.

And the rivalry continued.

Lest you think it would be a good idea to mention the outcome of the game in the comments of this post, tread lightly. You wouldn't want to make a sweet 2 1/2 year old cry would you?

Lots of Love from Grandpa and Grandma

We are so lucky to have two sets of wonderful grandparents! Our Wisconsin grandma and grandpa were here when Charity was born, so this past week was the first time Charity met our Minnesota grandparents and did we have fun! Lots of cuddling time with the peanut:

Loving time with Grandpa:

Grandma read us lots of books and cuddled with us too:

Thanks for the great visit Grandma and Grandpa! We can't wait to see you at Christmas!

The Perfect Welcome

We just love our cousins and wish we lived closer! Here's a little note from them to welcome Charity:Thanks, girls! We love you and miss you!

Busy Little Bees

In the last 2 1/2 weeks since Charity's arrival, we have been busy little bees enjoying life with our new baby sister, hanging out with a Mommy who isn't sick, and having lots of fun with our Grandma and Grandpa! Here are some snapshots of our fun:

Charity: Sleeping is number one on my agenda!

Great times with Grandma:

It's crazy to think there are 3 of us silly little ladies in the family now!!

Our little sister is so cute! Here she is doing what she does best: sleeping. We can't wait for her to "do" more with us.

Grandpa and his girls:

Now that it's fall, we've been spending our fair share of time watching football and cheering on our favorite teams.
Elyse: This is the face I make when I think the referees are making bad calls.
Felicity: And this is the face I make when the Badgers are playing. Will they win? It's a nail biter!

Charity had her first bath at home and was a real champ! We think she's going to like bathtime even more when she gets cool bubble bath like we do!

Of course we equally cheer for the MN Gophers as we do the WI Badgers. Unfortunately, this is the face that naturally follows the poor showing of the Gophers this football season:

And finally, we've really loved having more time with Daddy recently. He's been playing with his crazy girls lots these days and we love it!
