I saw another blogger add time stamps to their daily pictures.  I decided I liked that and am ripping off this idea.  I think it adds another dimension to the picture...imagining what might have been happening before, after or while the picture was taken.  In this case, I went to Dizzy's on an unseasonably warm Sunday night.  We were waiting outside for her sister to arrive with our dinner and I took a few shots of Char.

Shari and I made plans to get together at Panera for breakfast and to talk about her wedding this summer. I came armed with my laptop, prepared to talk about invitations and centerpieces.  Instead, we walked in and I saw Lindsey and said to Shari, "oh hey look!  Lindsey's here...wait, so is Lindsay....and Dizzy?"  When I saw Diz (who lives 1.5 hours away and had never met Lindsay or Lindsey), it became clear that this breakfast was not planned to talk about wedding stuff...it was for my birthday!  It was the best.

Later in the day, things just got better.  My mom, Gina and I started off our evening at the spa - massages for them, facial for me....and then we met up with the men and went to PF Changs for dinner.  Love that honey shrimp.

We had double bday parties on March 4th.  First was Charlotte's first bday.  I was taking pictures for Dizzy with  her camera for most of the party, so this is the only one I have of the birthday girl.



Then it was up to Green Bay for Coop's 3rd birthday!  So old he is getting...still the most hilarious person I know I think though.

I met diz, andy and charlotte out for donuts on Sunday morning at Cranky Al's.  Diz has raved about this place for a long time and I finally got to try it out for myself.  The donuts were quite good...and so was the ambiance.  loved it.

can we please focus on this little bonnet that charlotte is wearing though?  the cutest thing I have ever seen.

I had to work in Milwaukee during the week, so I went to Tosa Tonight with Nancy, Tyler, Diz and Charlie. I went earlier in the summer to this event and it wasn't too crowded so I told Diz we wouldnt need a meeting spot and that we would just see each other. Except when we got there, it was packed and there was hardly any grass open...and my phone was dead. Luckily Diz is smart and stayed near the thoroughfare and we found each other with no problem. It took us all back to 1999 when no one really had phones and had to rely on making plans though. We spent much of the night smiling and making faces at this little chica. She was so good all night (!)...and stayed up way past her bedtime.

Diz, Andy, Charlie and Danny came up to visit on Saturday. We went to the farmer's market, had lunch, did a little shopping and had a Red Mango dessert. It was my first time at Red Mango and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Upon first taste, I liked it....but then as I continued eating, I realized that I kind of loved it.
