Letters from Dad/Grandpa Strahm
A few weeks ago my Dad sent me this:
Then an email I got today:
Pictures attached:
Vikkie,
I just had to send you this picture that you took with my camera , it was just special. It is even cooler when you put it on full screen, which we have currently on our front page on our computer. Hutchie Putch just reminds me of that caged bird on Tom and Jerry that says, "I tot I saw a puddie cat...I tot I did..I tot I did". Hope you enjoy as much as I did. That little one just makes me laugh.
Love,
Dad

Vikkie darlin`,
I have said from day one that little Hutch looks like you,especially through the eyes and mouth, and shape of head.....well I guess that pretty much covers it, ha!
Anyway, the "tweety bird" photo reminded me immediately of a picture I always admired of you, and so went looking for it on Sunday. I found it, then had Jocelyne do her computer savvy and scanned it to my computer, then put them side by side....I rest my case. I just thought you would enjoy it.
Maybe a little more hair, another year, and a lot less testosterone, and he would be a "spittin` image" of you, right? I miss that little guy. The distance between me and my grandchildren does sorta suck.....keeps me from just droppin` in and kissing a butt cheek or biting some toes.
Back to work,
Love,
Dad

I love it that Dad took the time to do this. It made my day and it will show all of you that think Hutch looks just like Brett that really he looks like his mommy.
Thanks Grandpa for these fun emails. You are the best Grandpa to your grand babies!!!!!

Yeah for DonDon
Last night a couple girl friends and I took a small road trip to Lawrence to try a new restaurant that our friends dad & wife owns & just opened last week. I went with really no expectations and ended up really loving it. It is a simple noodle shop that is very tasty and super affordable. If you are ever in Lawrence and you want to try something tasty, cheap and fresh, give it a try. Brett and I are heading to Larryville on Saturday and may have to hit it again :)DonDon

the farm
Ahh, always so good to get back to the farm and visit. If it was not two hours away, we would be up there every weekend. We love it and now Hutch is old enough to love it too.

my boy
I could not resist posting this picture that my good friend Hannah just sent me. 
I love that he looks so much like Brett in this picture. I also love that I am whispering in his ear:
" You better sleep all the way through the night tonight or I am going put you in the crate to sleep with Debo". I guess he thought it was pretty funny.

I survived
Ok, finally something new to blog about (even though I loved that last post and could have left it up for several more weeks). I am slowly coming down from the adrenaline rush and my legs are so sore from standing for three days on concrete that I can hardly walk without looking like I am 85 years old.
A few shout outs:
Brett: Thanks so much for picking up on the slack these past weeks, you are the best husband a girl could ask for and the support you give me with my job always blows me away. I promise to make you a hot cooked meal this week :) 
Mom: Bless you for watching my sweet boy, Hutch, all this week and for cleaning my house and doing laundry. You are the best!!!!
My Girls: Andrea, Sarah P, Sarah S, Megan, Jessica: I was completely impressed with how wonderful you all did last night. You were the best help I have ever had. Thanks so much for working so hard and keeping a smile on your face the whole night. I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you!!!!!
David H: Thanks for making sure my kid was still alive when I got home last night.
There for dozens of other wonderful people that made last night so great. You all know who you are, thanks for being the best to work with on this event!!!

Oh, a great perk about being an event planner is that you are the very last person to leave the event so you gets lots of free stuff that gets left. Last night I loaded up about 6 huge flower arrangements and had fun picking them apart and making my own arrangements.
I love having fresh flowers all over my house.

AHH, ok back to trying to relax with some good old biofreeze!!!
Peace out.

he growns up and he growns up
Dear Baby Hutch Jay Wiese,
can't belive that this week you will be eating solid foods and just weeks ago you would choke and scream everytime I tried to feed you. Now you sleep on your tummy and role all about your crib when I swear it was just yesterday that I had you in a tight swaddle to sleep. I remember the day you were born like it was just hours ago and how it changed my way of thinking forever. You have changed my world completely and I can't imagine my life without you. Yes, we have had some tough times but it has all made me love you even more. Thank you for being such a great baby and for always shooting me a smile just when I need it. I love you so much and I love being your mom.
Love,
Mom
p.s. brett, this also marks the week of you being a great father for 6 months, love you so much.
