Well....I've been informed by many of my non-facbooking, non-instagraming friends and
family (LOVE YOU MOM!!!!) that I have been missed in the blogging world!! I have to be honest...I'm addicted to instagram. I love taking pictures with my phone and immediately sharing them with my "followers"...so if you have instagram you NEED to follow me! :)
So here are a bunch of pictures (taken w/ my phone) that will help you see what we've been up to for the past few..ok..4 months! Wow, it has been a really long time!
ENJOY....
Phil will often crawl into bed on a friday night and inform me that we will be going to the Rise' n Roll for breakfast the next morning! No complaints from the rest of the family, their doughnuts are worth the early wake up call!! :) Even the hour drive doesn't deter us...I know that probably doesn't surprise any of you!! :)
We usually make a few other stops while we're there!!
The girls worked really hard on their Science Fair projects.
Emma won 2nd prize for her class..WOOHOO!! :)
Maddie did her project on cats...surprise! :)
Her's was awesome too!
I have been on a Toms kick lately!!
I bought these little guys for my adorable nephew Cohen...he totally rocks them!! :)
Maddie woke up one day and decided she was going to learn to ride her bike without training wheels! Phil took her out and bought her a new helmet...and she was ready to go!
success...

wedding anniversary
We've been eating here WAY to often!!
It just opened here in Portage...TROUBLE!!!
Friends from school
Phil talked the girls into getting their ear's pierced one night while were at the mall!!
They were both SO brave!!
Phil bought Emma some basketball shoes the same night.
I guess this is what happens when you don't go to the mall often enough...you go crazy!! :)
We've been known to stop at Asiago's for cookies before piano lessons...yummo!!
Swimming....LOTs of swimming!
A night together with a few Heritage families.
The girls dubbed this "the best night EVER", and we would have to agree!!
We swam, we ate, we played an intense game of capture the flag....
