On Saturday we went to my parents’ place in Wisconsin. My parents made lunch for all this crew and we had a really good time. Inside this old log cabin are the toys–the dress up clothes and jewelry, the trucks and balls and pogo stick and who knows what all else. They keep busy for […]

It’s too late to sift through all the pictures from the weekend. (It was fun.) Tomorrow maybe. But this picture made me laugh right out loud. That’s Dan, standing in the bathroom doorway supervising his kid in the tub. See the kid? The grin? The big red goggles? Oh my goodness. Yes. love you all

They hauled all the tools and crap over with the tractor, saved a few trips. Julia wanted to test the water. The results: Very, very cold. Is it straight? Is it level? Why is this thing so flippin’ heavy? Of course, a helpful canine joins in. She hurt her tail yesterday at some point. They
It looks terrible, where the snowplow tears up the sod, but a little raking brings it around. They played video games by the hour. We have a really old Family Feud video game from the 1990s. That one is funny to play because it requires everyone cast their memory back that far. Who were sports
