September 2014

Woah - I am overdue on my monthly recap. I just can't believe that September is gone. We are in the heart of fall now - the best time of the year (followed by the other best time of the year ;)).

In September we relaxed up north, saw an amazing concert, had the first big post on MadasCozyGifts, celebrated friends' birthdays, engagements & exciting baby news, cheered on the Johnnies, Vikings, Gophers & Irish and enjoyed the fall. Here is our month in photos. enjoy.

July 2014

Well, my one blog post every 8 months is occurring NOW. To be fair, I have been updating our other baby blog kind of frequently, but nothing since 'the hiatus'.

(note: you can access the operation:baby posts on the right-hand column).

July 2014 has been loads of fun; cabins, outings with buds, a lot of time enjoying our truncated summer - due to the polar vortex, of course. Instead of rambling, I will update in photos and vow to keep this a little more current. Until then. xo, A

a little throw back to our engagement pics in 2008 - my, how time flies.

Lately

Well, it has officially been forever since I wrote any semblance of a blog post. In the last 4 months we have made a plan for baby, traveled to Indy to watch some good friends tie the knot, watched baby brother graduate from high school, sent off miss Brittany Jo to marriage with one last craaazy night.

JUNE:

AJ and Christina became the Duplessis' in early June in Indy. Philip and I left waay early on Thursday morning and made the 9 hour drive south. I took alot of naps and Phil cursed at the traffic and crappy cell service in Wisconsin. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a ton of fun - maybe even too much if there is such a thing.

A lot of stupid fun girls had the time of our lives and sent Britt off into married life with a bang! We took a boat out and toughed out the MN 'summer' and had our own little dance party on Minnetonka. I have the bruises alll over my legs to show for the boat jumping that went on. Then we cleaned up and hit up Minneapolis with a bang. Now Britty can head to married life with no regrets :) Can't wait for the WEDDING!!

Parker graduated. What. the. HECK? I can't believe that Parker, little baby brother, Parker, is a High School Graduate. The class of 2013 had beautiful weather for the ceremony. Can't really say the same for the Grad Party the following Sunday but the boys had a blast and everybody else had alot of Chili's sliders.

And of course all the other randoms that are going on now-a-days. We're being silly, doing yard work, drinking cocktails and fishing. 'Tis the life of a Mahal.

What's a frequent update when you get my whole life in photos? Meh.

Happy Weekend, ya'll.
