Kolacky Days 2009

Wautoma 2009

Wautoma 2009

Our annual friends weekend brought us once again to the Maio family cabin in Wautoma, Wi. Last time we ventured to the lake there was 8 of us, this year there was 11 and next year there will be 14! It was fun hanging out with the Maio's, Kroening's and Bansemar's. But oh how times have changed...we used to stay up to the wee hours of the night by the campfire, sunbathe all day long, spend a couple hours fishing...this year, it was more like nap time, diaper changes, taking the kids swimming and watching Miles sneak in the snack bag over and over again for entertainment. But none the less we had a great time! Thanks to the Maio's for hosting us!

Happy 4th of July!

A trip on the pontoon-4th of July weekend

Out with a bang..literally

Andy was the usual fireworks master
Ethan's expression at watching the fireworks
"I love aviators"
Scott (MJ) Harms quote at ER "If this had to happen, at least it could have been something good, not sparklers"
After a funfilled weekend of swimming, boat rides, and fireworks, our 4th of July festivities came to a screeching halt when Saturday night 3 sparklers literally blew up in Scott's hand. (yes, I said sparklers...the ones all the kids get to hold) After a trip to the ER, a diagnosis of 2nd degree burn to his entire inside of his left hand, and a night of unbelievable pain, Scott is now on the road to recovery. Only now he has to put up with the nickname MJ (for the sweet white glove bandage he will get to wear for the next 1-2 months). Also, a huge thank you to my family for watching Ethan for an extra few days while Scott and I cut our vacation short for doctor's appointments and well needed rest.

Another Bachman is on the way

Ian shared the news that he is going to be the big brother now. Andy and Mary are expecting there 3rd child in Feb/March. In 6 short years, my parents are now going to have 5 grandchildren!

Welcome baby Lainey

Lainey Jane Dellinger was born on July 3rd to Scott's sister Mary and her husband Jason. She weighed 8 lbs 11.5 oz and was 19.5 inches long. She has LOTS of dark hair and her and mom are doing well. She came pretty quickly ( a total of 4 hours from the first contraction is what I'm told); so quickly Mary's midwife didn't make it and daddy Jason had to deliver the baby himself right in the comfort of their own home. Impressive to say the least!! We can't wait to meet Lainey in person. Too bad they live so far away.
