Thurs. July 5, 2012 - Happy Birthday, America!

 Micaela is 31 weeks old!

 Gearing up for Big 10 football

 Our caterpillars have all formed chrysalides so we transferred them to the butterfly habitat and, of course, took notes in Riley's butterfly journal

 Micaela crawls into all kinds of tight spots

 She loves her doggie...

 ...and he loves her too

Riley and Mommy made a patriotic tart

 A pretty table

 Chad smoked his best ribs ever

 We celebrated with friends, including Colin, 5 months old

 Colin and Micaela

 Sisters

 Reading Micaela style (notice the book is blurry)

Micaela is amazing with her feet




Happy 4th of July everyone! Riley and I made a blueberry and strawberry tart and when I got out our cake pedestal, Riley asked who's birthday we were celebrating. Hence, Happy Birthday America!


We had our friends, Steve, Jenny and Colin Cavadeas over for a BBQ. Steve worked with Chad at Clorox and accepted a job at Georgia Pacific just a few months before Chad. It was nice to spend some time with fellow CA-turned-WI friends. We have been sweltering in the heat and humidity, so Chad was very brave to grill ribs all morning. Maybe it was the heavy air, but these were some of his best ever! Riley, Micaela and I broke a sweat just picking flowers for the centerpiece. We really love our new house, its big enough for entertaining when we are stuck inside all day (after day after day...will this heat ever end?). We had a great day with friends, a Happy 4th of July in our new home.
