I'm Back!

After much much too long...I'm back! I promise I will try my best to update this blog on a more regular basis. After looking at my friend Lauren's blog (The Skipper Family), I saw that I was definitely lagging in the blog updates and blog look. So, I stole from her yet again and got myself a "blog background"....and a scrapbook one at that!

I knew that I needed to get back to my "virtual scrapbooking" after showing Michael some cute videos and pictures of himself and Justin. He loved every minute of it! I can't believe it will be two years in May that I started this blog. Wow. Life speeds by....enjoy every minute of it.

My recent networking addiction has been Facebook. If you're not on it then you're lucky...you are sparing yourself endless hours of doing nothing but looking at status updates, pictures, wall posts and "pokes". It's become an addiction. The amazing thing is that I've been able to reconnect with people that I have not seen or heard from in 15-20 years!

Back to the Damm Family Blog...look for new posts coming soon. I hope you all enjoy...especially our family and friends who are far away from us. We love you and miss you.

It's a Holly Jolly Christmas!

Sorry the video is crooked and too dark to see anything but it's the sweet sound of Michael's cute little voice that makes me smile. :)

Halloween 2008 - Our Street







After the block party, we hit the houses on our street and the boys loved saying "Trick or Treat" and of course "Thank You!" :)



Halloween 2008 - Party on Marie Avenue











Justin was an adorable Bat and for the first time Mommy didn't get to choose Michael's costume. Michael was the blue Power Ranger..."with the Jaguar animal spirit". :)
We went to the South St. Paul Halloween Party that is located a mere 1/2 block from our house! It's wonderful - local businesses including the fire department have a block party and give out candy for the kids. The boys loved looking at all the other kids' costumes. We went to th party with our former neighbors, Chris and Stephanie, and their two boys Collin and Chase. Michael and Collin (aka Iron Man) were "saving the day" the entire night.




Halloween Pics @ Geri's





Oh how the attitudes can change in the blink of an eye! The bottom two pictures were taken at our daycare provider Geri's house and then once we got into the car...meltdown city! Oh-well...it was over in a flash. :)

Sleepin' Hard...Life IS Good



It was an eventful weekend and it's evident by these pictures that Geri took of Michael during naptime. He was OUT! I love that his shirt says..."Life is Good" Life IS good when you can fall asleep this soundly...he's a true Olson napper (well, not ALL the time). ;)

Rehearsal Dinner




These pictures were taken prior to Kyle and Heather's rehearsal dinner. We had the boys (Kevin included!) in adorable corderoy (sp?) jackets. They looked adorable!
