Visitors

On Mondays the Milwaukee Public Museum allows county residents to have their admission fee waived. We took advantage of this and had a fun day exploring the museum.


Auntie Annie and her boyfriend, James, were able to take two weeks off of work and come for a visit. They stopped in Milwaukee on their return trip to Montana. We had a great time, and really enjoyed the chance to meet James. He is a WONDERFUL guy, who makes Auntie Annie almost as happy as her two nephews.

Jack was very confused when we told him that James would be coming for visit, as the only James he knows is the train from Thomas the Train. We spent many conversations trying to explain that the James who was coming to visit was a person, and not a train. James, the person, showed up with a James, the train, for Jack. We think that he finally understands the difference!


Grandma and Papa were able to come down for a visit too. We had a great time visiting, and can't wait until we get to see them again!

Doesn't James fit right in to our group of redheads?!?! And they say redheads will be extinct soon....


The cold temperatures hit Milwaukee this week! Schools were canceled due to the cold temps. Jack bumped his lip, so we gave him a popsicle to keep the swelling down. It was pretty crazy knowing that it was -4 outside, and we were inside eating frozen treats!


We invited Meema and Papa down for the weekend, and they agreed under one condition, that Tom and I would go out and spend some time alone together. We agreed to these conditions, of course, and had a WONDERFUL time. We went out for dinner with the Hoffes, who are expecting their new little one to arrive any day now. While we were out enjoying ourselves the boys, Meema, and Papa were back at the house freezing. To make a long story short, Jack had turned the furnace off! Once it was back on everyone became more comfortable, and we returned to a nice warm house, after a wonderful evening out! Thanks Mom and Dad we appreciate all that you do for us!
