If I have a baby this large, please shoot me now. This little girl in Wisconsin weighed 13lbs, 12oz. And I thought my brother was big at 10lbs 1oz! Her parents call her the "Big Enchilada."

He's back!

Mike is now back to the blogging world, after taking time off because of school. I've added a link to his site here on mine.

I also encourage you to read my friend Jeannette's new blog about her adventures in Hawaii. She is a GREAT writer and I love to read what she's up to.

I can't wait for this week to end. Vacation begins on Friday at 3pm. I'm looking forward to the break down in Rochester. We have Jesse's baptism, a Mall of America trip with the NY Webb's, canoeing the Upper Iowa, and hopefully a few family history research treks. (Those would be mine-I've got a few places I want to check out.) Mainly, I just can't wait to hang out with all of my family and relax. The only thing that would make it perfect would be if we had the lake from Mike's parent's place to be at as well!

I hope to get through a book or two while relaxing too. I finally finished Clinton's autobiography after starting it last summer. It was a lot of information to process, but I enjoyed it overall. I will say it again: I miss the guy being president. He is my JFK for my generation. He had the ideas that I have, wanted to accomplish the things I wanted to see, and had hope, love, and respect for our nation in the same way that I do. To me, he is a Great American. I guess what I liked the most is that he has all the same faults that we do. And he wasn't afraid to admit to them. That's my take on him.

I'm also reading a book Pat lent to me about the Wright Brother's. It's really interesting to see how passionate these two brothers were to change history forever. My brother's love of flying is contagious-our entire family has all taken a second look at it and hopefully tried to learn more too.

Last Dog Class tomorrow, then Madison goes to the Vet for shots on Thursday. She is my bestest friend-this morning when I was throwing up in the bathroom, she stayed right next to me. How could you ask for more?
