Monarch Butterfly

Dan and the kids made it to Bloomin' Butterflies on the last weekend of the event at Olbrich Gardens.

Lynne, Tajenay, and I met them (and Dawn and Mom and Dad) on Saturday and got to see lots of orange butterflies. This is probably my favorite of the butterfly photos. The kids had fun and I got several good photos before my camera battery died. Hopefully, I can see some of the photos that Dan took, too.

Domestic Partners with Child

Deb and Lynne were couple number 22 to get domestic partnered on Monday, August 3rd, 2009.

We arrived with Laura and Tori at about 9:00 am and waited about one hour before being able to register with the County Clerk. The clerk personnel were especially friendly and helpful.

A photo including us waiting in line was published in the Wisconsin State Journal on page A3 on Tuesday, August 3rd, 2009.
