Jonathan and Sigan are residents of Madison, WI
The first weekend of June Jonathan and Sigan (plus 1) moved back to Madison, and Jonathan back to the old zip-code, hello Parkwood. The kids and I went in, not so much to help with the move as to offer lunch and visit. They are doing well and have settled into their new apartment. While they were working hard the rest of us made a trip to the famous Madison Farmers Market.
Brian was nice enough to push Joseph the whole time (this can be more challenging than one would think with the crowds), in the stroller we borrowed from Kelly.
Mom and Benjamin leading the group with Olivia close behind.
The kids first trip to the capitol, the girls thought it was beautiful inside.
BAD NEWS!!! We have had a lot of fun the past few weeks, last day of school, Moms award, Cherubs birthday, fathers day, a friends birthday, fun in the sprinkler on the first day of summer and Eileen's first friend party- unfortunately my camera has been a pain in the rear and "recorded" rather than taking a picture, so all of the pictures from these days are funky (kind of like a film strip-a series of still images).
Eileen had her last day of school on June 10th. She had a great year and was very sad to have a last day.
On Friday June 13th Mom won the "Unsung hero" award at her work, the entire staff vote and only two are awarded a year. The kids and I came in, Jonathan and Sigan were there, as well as Dad and Brian to surprise her as she was recognized by her colleagues. That night we went to Brian and Kelly's to celebrate Cherub's 12th birthday with a cookout. The next day we were back in Milwaukee for another birthday. On Sunday we hosted Father's Day at our house with the Toccos. We cooked out and the guys played croquet while the rest of us visited.
The kids and I spent the week getting ready for Eileen's first friend party. She invited the little girls in her class for an afternoon tea party. She was so excited to have her friends over and no mom's stay! The girls were great, we did a few crafts, ate some lunch, sipped some tea (all the girls picked the pink lemonade over the raspberry iced tea), opened gifts, ate some cake, drank some more pink lemonade, played on the playset, and went home-it was a busy 2 hours!
GOOD NEWS!!! Halfway through pictures we got the camera working right again!!
We had the party on the newly re-finished sun porch, rather than have everyone come through the house Bryan directed everyone directly to the back yard (you can see the walk way below, Joseph is running on it.)
The girls working on decorating their sun hats
We took this picture and all of the girls made a picture frame and took home this picture in the frame they made.

The girls were so cute just chatting while they ate and drank, but they did take the crafts very seriously.
Joseph and Bryan did their best to keep to themselves while all the girls were here.
Joseph got a bit of time on the playset before all the girls came out and took over.
We are getting ready for the Birthdays to continue!!! Bryan is home this week to celebrate the girls birthday on Thursday and then the Hoe-Down at the Tocco Corral this weekend, lets hope the camera can keep up with us!
