The Maurers: August 2015
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2015. Welcome Riley Quinn Maurer! We're going to be skipping a few things from the end of summer that I'll have to come back to, but this deserved a post! Remember WAAAAY back in February or March when I posted that the girls were going to be big sisters in September? Well, Riley decided to prove me wrong and bless us with her presence three weeks early in August! I received the epidural (it worked this time! And after a few conversations with the doctor and nurses, and explaining to t...

The Maurers: December 2014
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2014. The first.and only.real snow. Last year by this time, it felt like we'd shoveled ten feet of snow. This year, the girls were super excited when the light dusting arrived in the middle of November. Unfortunately, it was too warm for it to stick, but they were out the door like lightning to play outside before it melted. Payton couldn't throw enough snow balls. Paige was hoarding the snow off the chairs to make giant snow balls. And Reagan was just Reagan. Happy as a clam! Again,...

The Maurers: October 2014
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Now It's Time, To Say Goodbye, To All Our Family. Saturday was our last and final full day at Disney. I couldn't believe how quickly the time came and went! We decided to head to Epcot for a bit to check it out and see if the girls would enjoy it at all. After a stop at Spaceship Earth (the giant golf ball looking ride), we decided to get a few snacks and coffee. Nothing like grapes and coffee to get the day started! My little Harry Potter. :-). Sassy, just like Auntie Clare!

The Maurers: January 2015
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2015. I promise.almost to Christmas. :-). As per usual, here's the randomness post to get us caught up as quickly as possible. The girls decided to help Daddy make guacamole. I'm pretty sure that consists of Mark cooking, and the girls sucking on limes. Don't get me wrong, I love the beach. But this, right here, is Heaven to me. Kids sleeping, Hallmark channel Christmas movie, and a fire. Like I said, Heaven. Reagan was involved in a serious game of dominoes with Nana! Even Mackenzi...

The Maurers: June 2014
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2014. Wisconsin Dells - Friday. Last fall, I helped to raise money for St. Jude while doing a 5K walk. In having raised the most money (thanks to some very generous friends and family! I received a gift card to Kalahari Resort. In the Wisconsin Dells. Unfortunately, each and every time I planned a family trip to The Dells, someone ended up getting sick, so we had to keep cancelling. We were looking forward to checking out the Kalahari, because we had heard great things about it. Payton w...

The Maurers: Fun Filled Weekend!
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2015/07/fun-filled-weekend.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. Fourth of July weekend was full of a lot of fun, and a visit from Grammy and Grampy! We had such a wonderful time spending time with them, and dragging them to all the things we had planned. :-). After they arrived Friday afternoon, we enjoyed a quick dinner and decided to head out to the Lisle Eyes To The Sky Festival. To say it was crowded was an understatement! Waiting for Daddy to get tickets! You can see they were just as interested at Mark winning as the girls were. Papa dec...

The Maurers: A very HOT, busy Friday!
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-very-hot-busy-friday.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. A very HOT, busy Friday! A few weeks ago, on a very HOT Friday, we were able to enjoy our last day of Safety Town and a baseball game, all rolled into one! The heat was definitely rough for me, but we worked through it and enjoyed as much of the day as we could! They've become very accustomed with Edward's Hospital, since we are going every two weeks right now, so they were excited to take a picture in the kid's size version! Even better, the giveaway of the day was a fleece blank...

The Maurers: July 2014
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2014. I'm going to finish off the beginning of the summer with a Randomness post. It's going to be Christmas before I get to the 4th of July if I don't. ;-). Paige had that fever and sore throat that went on for awhile. When I took her in to have a strep test, she asked the doctor to take her blood pressure as well. The doctor laughed, and humored her. Clearly, we are all Doc McStuffin fans in this house. :-). Paige learning about the body. Sometimes I forget how big she's getting!

The Maurers: March 2015
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 12, 2015. Other than a snow here, or trip there, most of my pictures are singles that will allow me to catch up fairly quickly. :-) So, along with the time change, enjoy my fast forward to the here and now! Out of all the girls, Reagan is the one that will truly help clean the most (probably because she loves collecting her allowance money! Unloading the silverware from the dishwasher is one of her favorite things to do. Can't be upset with that! My van, on the other hand. Such silly girl...

The Maurers: November 2014
http://markkatymaurer.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Michelle and I signed up to do the Hot Chocolate 5K this year. We decided to stay downtown on Saturday night since the race was at 7 am and we had to pick up our race packets on Saturday. We decided to extend our stay to the entire weekend, when we got tickets to see Jason Mraz at the Chicago Theater with our hubbies. We had dinner at Lawry's Prime Rib first, and saw him second. He was amazing! Troy and Mark drove home and Michelle and I crashed in the city! Links to this post.
