Day 150 - Easter Sunday

"Again with the hats, when will the insanity end?"

Went to Easter service in Beaver Dam, and then out to a nice brunch before departing for the cities. All in all, it was a great vacation. Some times it seems like you need a vacation from your vacation, but this wasn't one of those. We came home, and it felt great to be home, but I wasn't nearly as stressed out as I have been after previous vacations.

Day 149 - Reunited (and it feels so good)

"And you are..."

As soon as we made it back to Grandpa Roger's house, we went looking for Paige because they were out for a walk with the dogs. As much fun as the trip was, it sure felt good to be back. I'll post some photos of the trip up to my flickr page when I get a chance, but catching up on the blog if priority number one right now. This also marks my return to behind the lens. I took a lot of photos during the trip, but not having Paige there to take pictures of just seemed a little odd.

Day 148 - Vacations can be hard.

"zzz."

All the activity on her vacation pretty much wore Paige out. If you look closely you will note that she now has enough hair to attach a barrette to it. Next thing you know, she'll need to have $30.00 bottles of conditioner. Can't wait. I think it is probably time to retire the bassinet at Grandpa Roger and Grandma Denise's house. For some reason, she never liked sleeping in one at our place here, but had no problem at their place.

Day 147 - A Visit With the Easter Bunny

"That is one big rabbit, if you ask me."

Paige went on a field trip to the mall in Madison to meet the Easter Bunny. Who knew that the Easter Bunny had friendly associates who garden during the day, and are dealers at a casino at night (at least that is the only plausible explanation I can come up with for why that bunny is wearing that vest).

Day 146 - Stop Looking At Me Swan.

"Let's have a staring contest. First one to blink loses."

Paige had visits from all sorts of family while she was on her vacation. Above is her great aunt Donna. She's pretty good at winning over everybody she meets within moments.

Day 145 - Play Ball.

"Baseball? I was just starting to figure out that Basketball thing."

Opening day of the baseball season. Should be a national holiday if you ask me (as should election day). In the above photograph you will notice one of the primary concerns any god-fearing Minnesotan will have when leaving their offspring in the state of Wisconsin. Your child may come home with Wisconsin Sports taint all over him or her. Proceed with caution. I must admit however, that the Brewers are my NL team, so I don't have any objections to the above image and ensuing indoctrination. As long as she roots for the Minnesota Twins if they meet each other in the World Series, then live and let live.

Many more posts to come, just ran out of time tonight. I think I am now only about a week or so behind.

Day 144 - Rub, A Dub, Dub

"Maybe I should take up synchronized swimming."

Bath time. Always exciting, and always full of splashing. This time was no exception.
