I know that it’s September now, but take yourself back to early August. I’ve got some catching up to do on blog posts, starting with our weekend trip to Jack’s house. This blog post is brought to you by the fact that Sylvie’s still in Texas (I’m writing here on Sept 6) and Andrew’s in [...]
When Andrew and Bryan were in Texas in late July, Sylvia and I went out to dinner at Ishnala with Terry and Tom. For those of you not familiar, Ishnala is a supper club in the Dells. It was built in the 1950s, and the feel is still much the same. Before dinner, we always [...]
A few weeks ago, Bryan, Andrew, Sylvia, and I sat around the dinner table, and we started brainstorming places in the world that we would like to visit. Bryan pulled out a paper and pen, and here’s what he documented: Go to Africa and get a house…maybe for a couple years (Andrew) Go to China [...]
My dad is a lot of fun:) For the last few years, he’s given the kids outing-type birthday gifts. One year, it was a trip to a Mallards baseball game. Last year, he took Andrew to the Railway Museum for a train ride. This year, he took both kids to Circus World in Baraboo. Andrew [...]
The weekend of July 22, we joined our neighbors, Kathy, Brett, Alivia, and Rayna at Kathy’s family’s lake house in Waupaca. A really great time was had by all. There’s something so quieting about the pace of life in Northern Wisconsin. On a lake. In the summer. Here’s a slide show of the weekend! There’s [...]
We’re never going to be able to run for public office. Here’s one of the things our family does for fun…take silly pictures of ourselves with the phone. Greetings from us to you from Door County!
In early July, I had a great assignment to travel up to Door County to photograph Rutabaga Paddlesport’s Door County Sea Kayak Symposium. We’d had that weekend blocked off as a potential family vacation in Door County, so we combined the two. Bryan took care of the kids while I worked, and then I joined [...]
When he was about 7 months, old, Andrew’s first two teeth came in…his bottom two. Here’s a picture of him in January 2006. There were some sleepless nights associated with the arrival of those teeth (see a January 31, 2006 post here). By March 2006, those two bottom teeth were all grown in. Oh, what [...]
Before Grace, Tim, and John left, the boys wrote their dads letters detailing their soccer wins. It’s so fun to see what good writers and readers Andrew and John have become:) I love that kid:) Here’s Grace and me just before I took them back to the Milwaukee airport. We ran out in the yard [...]
Our 4th of July (eeks, that was over a month ago!) was full of low-key fun. Andrew, John, Bryan, and Tim all played a lot of soccer in the yard with Andrew’s new soccer goal and ball. There was some fancy footwork going on out there! It was Boys against Dads, and those boys were [...]
