Baptism Round Three

A few weeks ago we made the trek to Antigo, WI for Myles Robert's baptism. The trip got started on a sad note as Gretchen and Steve had to put down one of their dogs the night we left. After that we started on the 4 hours trek. We rolled in to Gretchen's parents place around midnight. In the AM we got up, had some good grub and took off for a snowmobile ride. Mom and dad had not been on a sled for over 30 years. We had a great time. After lunch, a shower, and a nap, we headed off to the church for baptism.

Myles was a rockstar for the brief ceremony. Afterwards we went to a great dinner and then took Myles swimming. He has a great feel for the water at a young age so I think we will have another little stud in the water in a few years. Check out some great pics from the weekend.

California Kids Come East

January 2nd this year Sara, Dom and the boys flew in for a week long visit. Katie and I picked them up at the airport (we can't fit in one car anymore) and we headed over to Steve and Gretchen's to meet their new cousin and nephew, Myles.

We hung out all night and played some Wii. It was entertaining to say the least. Sunday we got up and stopped to see Chris and Jen and meet little TJ. The dad came and whisked them off to Hutch for the week. I put in a hard week of work and then headed to Hutch for the weekend.

We went swimming at the middle school for about a half hour before we were freezing, only to realize that we had cold showers too!! The boys seemed to be ok, but Dom and I were ready to be warm again.

The Blue Tongue is From Frosting, Not the Cold Water

Saturday, we had planned a surprise 60th b-day for my dad, and also a 4th birthday party for Adam. It was a great time. My grandparents, and a lot of my dad's siblings came over to help us celebrate. It is always wonderful to see all of them. After the party we headed back to my place for one more night of hanging out, reading books, watching movies and seeing some more friends.

As always, their visits go too quickly and I miss them as soon as they leave. I hope to get out to Napa sometime this year for a visit. The boys are growing up and changing so quickly. They definitely keep me on my toes!

I am alive!!

Hi all. I know I have been MIA for a while. Let me explain. I am in my final two classes of my MBA. I have never taken two classes at once so it's a little crazy for the next 4 weeks. But then, I AM DONE!!!

Work is great, busy, but great. Starting to lay out my plans for trips coming up this Spring.

I have pictures to post from Christmas and the Californians visit in January.

Also would like to wish my dad a HAPPY 60th Birthday today. He and mom are at an all-inclusive for the week so I wish them a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

Hope all is well.

Cheers.
