On The Sixteenth Day Of Advent We Visited Great-Grandma

On our drive back to Minnesota we decided to stop at my Grandma's house. She doesn't get to see Meadow much and thought she would enjoy the company.

It was great to hang with Grandma Lungwitz. Brooke's grandpa passed away this week and we were in town for the funeral. We didn't get to talk much to Grandma that day, so it was nice to be able to spend some time with her before heading home.

She's really trying to crawl.

She started doing tow pushups today.

My Grandma tried to encourage her to keep trying.

Meadow enjoyed her time at her Great-Grandma's.

Before leaving, Grandma gave us a wild turkey that Grandpa Lungwitz had shot in the backyard. It still had the feet on it, which kind of weirded me out. I'm looking forward to roasting the wild bird.

Chicago Chrismukkah + Michigander Xmas

Before heading out on our trip we let the kids open their Christmas gifts from us. A knitted sweater for Theo and a kitty dress for Meadow (I fixed the straps for her) both made by me. I wanna a sweater. Scott got them new compact sleeping bags. We all got smaller sleeping bags this year and we'll now have a lot more room in our car. This year we had talked about hosting my family at the cottage. Then meeting up in Milwaukee, then meeting in Chicago. But in the end we made stops in Chicago and Lowell this Christmas. We left on a Sunday which was nice to have a few days to prepare. On the way down to Chicago we stopped at our favorite roadside restaurant, Foster Cheese Haus. We had plans to break up our drives so we didn't have to rush like we normally do. We had made it just before the cheese haus was set to close for the winter. Just not enough folks stop here in winter and snowmobile season is becoming shorter and shorter this far so...

A 250th 4th of July in Three Lakes

A couple of weeks after we were last up at the cottage, you say? Not soon enough, we say. We assumed dinner would have already been done by the time we arrived so we stopped to eat at Culver's in Rhinelander. While we were eating, I got a text from my dad saying he was in Rhinelander with Chelsea at Urgent Care. I guess Viola had taken a hard fall. When we got to the cottage Daniel was just starting dinner. We hadn't seen Viola since Christmas, she's a little girl now. She was super shy around us at first. She did also just get back from the hospital. I'm not sure if I approve of fireworks the night we get there, but due to scheduling conflicts that's when Three Lakes got in their fireworks show. 2nd of July fireworks would do.

Message In A Bottle

In case you hadn't heard I am a guitar hero. If only playing guitar for real could be this easy. Last Thanksgiving Morgan was saying she wanted to get her bike fixed for Christmas. I asked why she didn't want to wait until her birthday since winter was coming. She said, In case there is an unusually warm February day. I never really understood or thought that would happen until now. I should have taken my bike out, but now it's too late and it won't stop snowing. I think I've decided on becoming a cake decorator. Although I am warned that cake decorators get carpal tunnel, knitting probably doesn't help either. Sadly I forgot my camera that has the picture of the cake I made today. 58,28,107
