Happy Valentines Day

I love Valentines day. The idea of a whole day devoted to telling everyone you love them just makes me happy. So I am taking advantage of the holiday to tell all of you just how much I love you! As I get older( I am in my late twenties now) I can look back on the years and recognize how the love, friendships, advice, and encouragement from all of you has helped shape who I am becoming. I will be eternally indebted to you for your charity to me and hope that in some small way I have touched your life as you have touched mine. I know I would be truly alone without the love of my family and my friends. Thank you! And I LOVE YOU! It just so happens I miss you all very much too (but I try not to think about that) Hopefully this will warm your heart while we are apart(I did not mean for that to rhyme...cheesy but true).

Happy Valentines Day Love Corinne

I added a little slide show that has pictures from valentines days over the last 5 years. Enjoy!

Keeping the Winter Blues Away

Monday February 11th 2008

With mom being sick, temperatures in the single digits and pre-school on vacation the girls and I have been suffering from the winter blues. Every day Jennah asks "Are we going anywhere today Mommy?" Susanna carries her snow boots around repeating the question"coat? snow?" Well luckily Daddy came to the rescue and he took the girls out for some fun in the snow on Saturday. As you can see they had a great time.

Jennah has mastered the art of snow angels

Susanna and Jennah made a snow "girl" named "snowphie" So cute!!

Today the girls were so excited to go to a special session of physical therapy for Susanna. Susanna is making great strides with her gross motor skills. The goal is to have her running, jumping and climbing like a pro by the time summer comes. Going to the gym at the care center was a special treat. It really beat the winter blues and Susanna figured out she loves jumping.

Look how high we can jump!

Family Update January

Tuesday February 5th, 2008

Hello Family and Friends

Welcome to my new blog. My big sister Jennie, sisters are the best, made me this blog and she added all of my updates and pictures from the last two years. This is my very first post so I hope it goes well.

This month we celebrated Burke's 30th birthday.
Jennah helped me make him his very own birthday cake. She wanted to make it a football cake so I did my best. I need to practice my writing. That evening we got a babysitter and went to the Olive Garden with many of our close friends. We had a great time.

Burke is devestated football season is over. It was a season of ups and downs. He was looking forward to a Packers/Patriots (his two favorite teams) Superbowl and frankly anything would have been better then Sunday's disaster. Fortunately he is taking two classes in school this semester so he won't have much time to cry over it. Lets hope he does as well as last semester and score some more A's. Way to go Burke!

Susanna is as darling as ever. At her latest check up she weighed 25 lbs and is getting taller too. Lately she has been obsessed with the camera. She gets all dressed up and says "smile? smile?" We don't mind taking lots of pictures, even though most of them are of her running towards the camera . We are trying to teach her the art of posing. She is getting the hang of it.

Last week Jennah came down stairs with her "suitcase" and her pillow announced she was going camping. Burke was kind enough to build her a tent in the family room. She is never bored and we get a kick out of all her little adventures.

I went to my 12 week check up and everything is looking great. Our little baby is growing and has a good strong heart beat. I am still very tired and take every chance I can to snatch a little rest. I am trying to get over a very bad cold and can't wait till I have some more energy.

Well thats all for now. We love you all and miss you tons!
