Good Helper

The scene:
This morning in the living room.
Cale is sitting on the floor, removing his PJ's.
Ryan is laying out Cale's clothes.
The conversation:
Cale: "You're a good helper, Daddy."
Ryan: "Thanks, Cale."
Just a little something that made me smile. :)
Hope you're having a good day!

Maggie had Puppies!

Maggie, Jay's dog - who stays with Grandma & Grandpa Wehrenberg, had puppies again. She seems to get along with the neighbor dog quite well. :)

Looks are Deceiving

What a beautiful day - no wind, the sun is shining, the sheep are out in the pasture across the road, let's go for a walk! :Step outside: Hey! Where did Spring go?! Yesterday it snowed and today it hasn't made it to 40 yet. We want the warm weather back! Cale and Ryan just came in from playing soccer - in the garage.

Finally, the updates from last weekend:

The Tale of the Mighty Knights - Backyardigans was great! Cale's favorite part

was King Pablo and the egg. After the show, we stopped for lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings in Apple Valley. Cale and Jenna put on a show for the tables around us - standing up on their chairs and dancing. It was hilarious!

Maren got to spend the day with Grandma Olson and later that evening, we went to Bopper, Angie, and Jenna's house for pizza.

Our new camera arrived that day, too. I was so excited about trying it out, but not everyone was as excited about getting their picture taken. Jenna said, "Not again, Britt!" :) Grandpa and Maren didn't mind, though.

Sunday morning, we were able to enjoy the weather outside. We took a walk and Jenna came over to play for a little while.

We spent the afternoon in Rochester at Paul and Pat's house. Cale really enjoyed playing with Tom and Annika. It had been awhile since we were able to get together with everyone. We missed you, Kristin & Mark, Katie, Betsy, and the AZ Julsruds! It turned out to be a beautiful day - can you believe that I forgot to bring my camera?! I was so bummed - Bopper was ecstatic!

Compared to last weekend, this weekend hasn't been quite as eventful. We went to Rochester yesterday and checked out the work Grandpa & Grandma Wehrenberg and Bert & Joy have been doing on Great Grandma Eastvold's house. It's looking great! We also did some much needed grocery shopping. And today - we'll longingly look out the window and wish it was warm again. Back to Nessa's (daycare) and Work tomorrow. Have a great week!

Quick Update...

We had a wonderful weekend: Backyardigans, a lot of outside play time, and dinner at Paul and Pat's. I'll add some details this week.

Also, A few of you have asked about Erin - she did AWESOME - 10th!!!!http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/OlympicTrials-Marathon-Women/results.asp
I had my dates wrong - for some reason I had Saturday in my mind, but the race was on Sunday. Way to go, Erin!!

Good Luck, Erin!

My college roommate is running in the Olympic Marathon Trials in Boston this Saturday! Check out her bio here: http://www.bostontrials2008.com/index.cfm?pk=bio&bioID=90

Good Luck, Erin!!! We'll be thinking of you, and can't wait to hear all about it... even if it is about running! :) Really, I'm so excited for you!

Have you noticed?

I've been playing with a lot of different layouts lately. I'm going to stick with this for now but will probably be making some other changes in the near future. This is why I can't do scrapbooking - I'm way too anal!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

We were able to spend a little of yesterday outside. In fact, I went in the house to get something and looked at the clock - It was 6:30! We hadn't eaten supper yet. By the time we got inside, it was 7:00. Poor Maren nearly fell asleep in her high chair. It was great therapy to see the sun again, though - AND I have tulips coming up! My first year - can't wait to see how they look!

We've got a busy weekend ahead of us. On Saturday, Cale, Mom, Dad, Bopper, Angie, and Jenna are going to The Backyardigans Live at the State Theatre in Minneapolis. Uncle Bopper is so excited he can hardly stand it! Ang and I keep telling him he's going to love watching how the kids react to the show. We think they're going to LOVE it!

On Sunday, we're going to Aunt Pat and Uncle Paul's house for dinner. We can't wait to see everyone!

Also, this week, we should be receiving our new camera. I can't wait! I keep missing the "Kodak" moments with the kids because it takes so long for our current camera to actually take the darn picture - it's definitely a much needed upgrade. It will probably take me awhile to get things figured out so be prepared for some experimentation. I'm sure there will be LOTS of pics to come!

Back in the garage...

We spend a lot of our spring/summer evenings across the street in our neighbor's garage. We often grill out and enjoy watching the Twins on the TV hanging in the corner. Oh, and our neighbors have the cutest little girl, Jenna!! :) Cale adores her - they're like brother and sister, including the fights. Maren, and the baby girl they are expecting in June, will have a lot of work to do to keep up with these two!

Cale and his cousin, Jenna.

Yes, we live across the street from my brother and his family.

Spring has finally Sprung!

I hope this doesn't jinx it!

Upper 50s today and 63 tomorrow. Woo-Hoo!

We have been waiting so long for this weather. I'm sure we'll spend a majority of the weekend outside.

They're getting so big!

Time flies when you're having fun!

This last Sunday, Cale was cruising down the aisles in Toys R Us testing out all of the options for his first bike. It was a success! Fortunately, the rain let up in the afternoon for him to take a quick spin. The helmet is a big hit, too.


Maren is 10 months old today! WOW! She is crawling all over the place and just recently started pulling herself up. We think she's going to be a climber - after she's pulled up along the fireplace she gets mad because she can't get any further.

Welcome!

Welcome to my attempt at keeping in touch with all of you! I often wonder how all of you are doing, but our busy lives don't allow us to stay connected often enough. Feel free to browse as often or as little as you like. I'm going to try to keep up to date with pics and everything so that we also have something, as a family, to look back on since I'm not the crafty scrapbooking type - although I am determined to attempt digital scrapbooking -- one of these days when I have all that time! :)

Love and Hugs,
The Wehrenbergs
