March 21: In a continued effort to reach the 100 inches of snow mark this year, we’ve got loads of the white stuff falling from the sky. Enough! To get a much-needed dose of spring, Maretta, Andrew, Sylvia, and I headed to Olbrich this morning. They have their spring bulb show going on right now, so we enjoyed smelling the brightly colored flowers for a bit. Then we trekked across town to look at the proofs for some engagement pictures that Maretta and Kyle had taken the other day.
Maretta watched Andrew in the afternoon while Sylvia and I ventured out to Woodman’s for a much-needed grocery run. She cried the entire time. Her cry is still so newborn-sounding, that I got lots of sympathetic looks from all the other shoppers. Maretta and I went shopping last night and found Maretta some great-looking dresses for her to wear to weddings this summer. I also got Andrew a sweater vest and shirt and tie for him to wear to Maretta’s wedding in May. We also met with Nakoma Country Club to go over all the final reception details, and I’m feeling really excited about how beautiful it will all look.
Andrew helped us make his first-ever batch of Rice Krispy treats. MMmmmm
Photos from the last several days are in the gallery.
