More St. Pat's day celebrations.

Okay my little green dress will never be AS "Colleen" as this outfit warn by Ona.








I just can't get enough of this cute little Miles. He is 4 months younger, so will quickly be taller but never braver!




















I am ready to be rented for all your B-I-N-G-O affairs! I sat perfectly for almost 10 minutes helping out.





And didn't eat a single ball!








Please remember to invite me at your next BINGO affair. Can I get a BINGO in the house!!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

The St. Patrick's Day parade in La Crosse was the best ever. Short and sweet and I got these great beads. The first thing I do at the farm is put these beads on, all of them, and keep them on until it is time to eat!











Kiss me. . . I'm a die hard Irish fan!

New Neighbors!

Our new neighbors are here in the thousands, migrating ducks. Canvass backs, blue gills, coots, and many others in front of our home. They have been here since the end of last week and seem to love eating the weeds right on our shore line.





Here we are sneaking up on them one morning.











On sunny evening it as perfect for me to hitch a ride on daddy's back and check it all out.















Auntie Karo is checking out the eagles standing on the ice waiting for a fish. I am getting use to this "going outside" thing. The word "outside" puts me at the door befor my parents realize what they have said!

Bye, bye vacation

The morning before we left we had one last ride on the beach.

I was a peach on the plane and got right to work to help unpack. I had the suitcases cleared in less then 15 minutes. My mother was impressed.

And this is what we came home to. Big ice dams right in front of the house. You can hear and feel them in the house as they bang together, just wish I could see it happen! I can't wait for spring. . . I keep dragging out my swimsuit when my daddy teases me by saying "time to go to the pool!"

At the beach.

It finally warmed up to get out on the beach.









We started out walking but quickly my attention turned to the sand and ocean.




Why haven't I played with sand before????






This stuff is awesome! And my daddy is so quick to cover me in it!

Hilton Head, the first days.

With the ocean behind us, dinners are very romantic.












When toys are sparse, grandma can teach unloading the dishwasher with little distraction.










For these Wisconsites, 40 degree wind chill is nothing on the beach.









These are the views out the front of our condo, the beautiful marsh with boardwalks to the beach.

Check back again soon for WARMER pics.

My first airplane ride (3 of them!)

I did unbelievably well on the 3 airplane rides to get to Savannah, GA then off to Hilton Head, SC.














I slept all the way through . . . . the shortest of the 3 rides. Of course!
















The buffet at the MSP airport was perfect. (All these abbreviations are hard to remember!)




Once we were in the condo, first things first. Swimsuit, swimsuit cover, and my favorite book. They have the best salt water pool...pics later.
