Cheers to the Binningers!

My really good friend Kelli Ponce got married on New Year's Eve. Kelli and her now husband Derek, post poned their wedding 3 times. The first time they were going to get married in Kenosha in September of 2020, but decided they wanted to do a destination wedding in Puerto Rico in May of 2020. The quarantine started 3 days after we threw Kelli her bachelorette party at my house. They had hoped their wedding could still go on, but with travel restrictions they postponed their wedding to October of 2020 in Puerto Rico. Patrick and I were not able to go to the wedding on this date due to having Mr. Branko. As the date came closer, travel restrictions still in place, they decided to get married in Pewaukee on New Years Eve. It was the most perfect day and having a wedding on NYE is so perfect for the party decorating lover, Kelli. She always is one to buy the most random things for any sort of event, even if it's just a day to catch up. I'm not sure how she planned in 3 months! She even had a balloon drop to ring in the new year!




Mother of the Bride!
One last photo as fiances 




They had their first look right outside our window, so we all got to creep and watch it all unfold. 







This one is next to get married in June!

First smiles!

Image
November 6th was our little guys first real smile, and boy does it make all the exhaustion worth it! Starting to bring his hands together :) Nora being put to work and getting to feed her baby cousin! More smiles with Auntie Jodi! My favorite time of day are mornings in bed with Branko, that’s if he slept well the night before. But he is extra smiley in the morning! And those blue eyes really pop with the lighting in our room! Fun filters with Nora! This was the first onesie I bought when I was pregnant. I was in Arizona with some girlfriends for the Waste Managemenr golf tournament back in Jan/early Feb. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the onesie is a tad girly with the ruffled sleeves! (hard to tell in this picture). I like to call this the “Bjorn” shirt. If you know, you know.  Since the masters were cancelled this year, it was rescheduled for November. Patrick and Branko have matching “Yama boy” shirts. Hidecki MatsuYAMA is a Japanese golfer who Oatrick is obsessed with. Him a

New Beginnings

Image
 Welcome to our blog as we welcome our first baby into the world! A few of my family members, mainly my sisters (yes I’m dissing you Jeff for failing on updating your blog in YEARS), have a blog that I enjoy refreshing for updates every week, so I thought, why don’t I make one?!  Being pregnant during covid and quarantine, as well as being a nurse in a hospital, has brought its challenges/fears/anxieties, we persevered )so far) and are ready to welcome this baby boy or girl in just a few short weeks! 2020 has gotten a very bad rap, it’ll be a year in history to remember, from Covid-19, all non-essential stores and restaurants closed, Black Lives Matter, to my hometown of Kenosha being looted and set on fire due to a police officer shooting, making global news.  September 25th is our actual due date, so we’ll see if Little D decides to come early or late.  I probably should have started this a little earlier, but I thought we could just go down memory lane of some photos during the preg

Christmas in Florida!

Image
 We were lucky to spend another Christmas in Florida with Patrick's mom, sister, and papa. These pictures uploaded in reverse order, but you'll get the idea. We had an early flight that left at 6:40 AM, yikes! I was nervous with how Branko would do, but he did fabulous waking up at 4AM and acted like it was a normal morning. We got to the airport and through the line for security when my ticket wouldn't scan. My husband thinks my birthday is June 20th and not June 25th! This isn't the first time he's done this. Last time was before our trip to Cabo (that we never got to go to due to Pat hurting his back), however, Patrick caught it the day before we were supposed to leave. Luckily, the airport wasn't too packed and we were able to get through the line again without any wait. We were very lucky to fly out before this "massive" snowstrom that was to come. Schools were cancelled-including colleges during finals week, allowing for kids to have 2 days extra
