Joey & 'rents :D

I made this collage super duper quick the other day in Picasa for my baby shower - such cuties :D

Thank you....

Thank you so much for everyone, near and far, that has made today such an awe-inspiring day. Thank you for ALL of the love and support, both for me and my family during this day of celebration of life - both at it's beginning and end...Thank you! ♥ Under the circumstances, we could not have hoped for a better celebration...

baby 'st. patrick'

It's (almost) official!! They should be calling me today or tomorrow and scheduling my C-section for WEDNESDAY the 17th! St. Patrick's Day, here we come! No, we will NOT be naming him Patrick, but we are still looking for cute name ideas, so please feel free to pass them this way! Anyway, just wanted to share the news! My cutie holiday babies... at least their birth dates should be easy to remember!

Bruce - We will miss you...

In the end, the blood clots and other complications won out and my uncle, Bruce Robert Lemke, passed away yesterday afternoon at about 5:30 Milwaukee time. Plans for a memorial service are being made for this Saturday, March 6th, which also happens to be my baby shower... perhaps that's a good thing so this beautiful new life can help ease the pain of a life cut short.

We will miss him, his love and his never ending sense of humor! Family parties will certainly have a less laughs without you.

With love -

Me
