Sheboygan in the Summer

Here is a list of various events going on through July in Sheboygan.  I've gleamed these from newsletters, Facebook pages, websites and the Sheboygan Press.  I am only human so I would confirm these prior by doing a quick internet search or sending me a message to see if i have more info.  I didn't include all the details of the event, most additional info should be available online easily enough.  Enjoy and hope to see some of you at the events!

The Moon

Driving home at night Daphne looks out the window and the big, almost full, moon...

"Daddy, I must be the moons favorite little girl because it's following me home!"

Vampires! Fairies!

Descriptive details

Daphne: "Mom, have you seen my other teddy bear? He looks like a sausage and he's brown."

No....no I have never seen a teddy bear like that.

"Beterinarian"

Daphne (with her big bucket of doctor supplies in hand): Come on Oscar, it's time for the bet.
Oscar: twitch
Daphne: Time for your shot. Now time for your temperature. Come on little guy
Oscar (moves 4 ft away hoping that will save him): meoooow
Daphne: oh you want to go over there, ok (picks up her big bucket and moves)

This moving and following stage happens about 5 more times including under the dinging room table and her own selection of on top of her little table in the living room. He is surprisingly accepting, especially if it's a sunny spot. The game is finished with Daphne's declaration that "he is fixed and new. If he gets lost I'll come find him. Keep an eye out for him, I'm counting on you."

Winter time

Happy new year everyone, I'm hoping to be able to write more this year and keep posting pictures but I always say that and it gets away from me... We had a great christmas and new years visiting family and friends. Everyone was happy and healthy and it was nice to have Mike home for so long! Quinn and Violet had their 9mo check ups a bit late but everything looked good. Quinn is 20.lbs 3oz (about 50%) and Violet is 14lbs 13oz (about 3%). They aren't crawling or walking yet, but do roll around and scoot a bit. Violet loves standing up and holding on to stuff but hasn't quit mastered how to pull herself up yet. Within the next two months I expect we will have a set of movers on our hands, as much as fhet terrifies me to acknowledge. Daphne is doing great and getting so big! She is great company and a wonderful chatty companion for me all week long. At her 3 year check up she was 28.5 lbs and 37.5" (50%) and right on track. I registered her for preschool at the John Michael Kohler Art Center last week, she will start 2 days a week in September. It is a summer away but I cant believe it's so close. She is excited and I know she will do great. It's an arts based program and the classroom is so wonderful, full of fun toys and so much natural light. The teachers are really friendly and the building has so many great resources the kids utilizes (theater for dancing, outdoor courtyard, art exhibits, performers, etc). Other then that we are enjoying the snow that finally arrived and working our way through the rest of winter. Next up is valentines day so we have started our morning crafts with that in mind. Then before we know it we will have a 3 year old and two 1 year olds.....where does the time go!!

Mike's new addition

Daphne's reaction to Mike's new moustache this morning....
D: where's your beard!!!??
M: I shaved it, do you like it?
D: No! I want your beard back!

........nothing more needs to be said

And to make the last picture better.
