Winter Wonderland

Usually around this time of year I start itching to plan a family vacation. Unfortunately, haven’t had the luxury to vacation since… ever. The farthest out David and I have been together has been Indianapolis or Wisconsin Dells. I’m ready for us to go somewhere warm and tropical. Fortunately, I think we can finally make it on a bona fide road trip! Seems like anywhere within a 100 mile radius to us was hit by a huge snow/rain storm. We got a nice amount of heavy snow… finally.

I went out to dig our cars out of the snow so it wouldn’t take so much time in the morning. Gabriel’s got a play date with a girl friend early. I hate to be late to things. Anyway, isn’t the snow pretty?

Usually I’m a lover of snow, but now I’m ready for spring. Come on out Easter bunny! I’m ready for you!


Da Bears!

Here on the border of Illinois/Wisconsin you can taste the hostility between Bears and Packer fans.

From what I’ve seen on television and blogs people are rooting for the Packers. Here in these parts of town we root for Da Bears!

P.S. Last week we were so proud when our little one got to witness his first Bears game at almost a week old.
