Spring has Sprung

It's been awhile, but here are some pictures from the last couple months. The Dells in Feb.

I walk Calvin in the McMillan Marsh on weekends. One Sat. morn there was still ice on the big pond and the next morning it was gone. He loves to run. Sami holding the newest addition to the family, Reggie. He is getting along well at the Weins. I had to get Sami her shoes for school the other morning (momma forgot to pack them) and poor puppy cried and cried and cried when I left. Made me want to kidnap him for the day. My flowers in the yard started blooming way too early this year. These pics were taken on April 2nd. That is not normal!!!

Happy Easter!

We attended the Easter egg hunt at our new neighborhood park, complete with a visit from the Easter bunny. Colin was freaked out by the rabbit, but all the kids had a great time gathering eggs in their baskets. The ladies book club stuffed the eggs at their last get together- how Desperate Housewives is that?!

Not much

I want to see Dells pictures! How was the trip with Nanny Leigh? Did you go to the same waterpark? Which is the best, in your opinion?

Jamie, how's the wedding planning going?

Not much going on in MN. We're really feeling the effects of moving to the suburbs, and not having a snow blower. It was much easier shoveling our little patch of sidewalk in Mpls. Maybe Santa will bring Mike one next year....

Scheibe Christmas 2009

Scheibe's all gathered the weekend before Christmas for a little family time. We went bowling on Saturday afternoon and then spent the night over at Allie and Keith's having dinner and opening gifts. Andrew surprised us with his presence, as it was his drill weekend and we thought we'd miss him. Check out the awesome poses as people tossed their rocks down the alley. Jamie's boyfriend, Jeff, and Sami have a special bond. He sits on her lap every now and then. She was pretending to be Santa and was asking him what he wanted for Christmas. Sorry Jeff, she said no to the combine, cows and every other farm thing you asked for. Eric received a new fur coat to go with his coat collection. Gwen became an honorary girl scout member after being kicked out as a kid and even took the oath. Steven and Shari appear to have had enough to eat. Fun time was had by all and hopefully we can get all of the cousins together again this summer for a reunion. Love the old times we used to share!!! Take care everyone and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with your families.

Love you all,

Leigh

Merry Christmas from the FroderFive!

We're really looking forward to our first Christmas in our new home. We wish all of you a wonderful Christmas, and a very happy 2010. Will someone send me one of Aunt Jan's green corn flake wreath cookies? I always loved those. This time of year especially makes me think of, and miss Grandma and Grandpa, Jan, and Dewey. Merry Christmas to all of you from our little family.

Sending Christmas Wishes to My Family

Hello, family! Wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas & happy New Year! I hope all is well with everyone! Staying healthy & happy?!?! We have been doing well. Tyler is halfway through the 2nd grade! Hard to believe. He's reading like crazy & I can't write reminder notes to myself or Keith regarding private issues anymore without him reading it! Tyler had his Christmas concert last night at school and it was wonderful. Sami is in the 4K program right at her daycare center, which is so convenient, and seems excited to go to Kindergarten next year. She's actually turn 6 within days of being in Kindergarten with that early September birthday, but she would not have been ready for Kindergarten this year. They are both spitting images of their parents, if you can believe it! Funny characters! Keith is doing well too. Nothing new with the two of us, really. I am not working 50/50 for the Marshfield Clinic & Security Health Plan (immigration & contracts). Always busy. The day doesn't end at 5:00 either! Always swim lessons, gymnastics or dance, CCD or volleyball (for me or Keith). I can't imagine how my mother did this with 5 children! I only have 2! Anyway, sending you our love this holiday season! Take care, everyone! XOXO - Keith, Allie, Tyler & Sami
