• Excited for the weekend

  October 7, 2013

  Way back, I'm not sure if it was before I was born or just when I was a little squirt. My scientist Uncle Rob met this other scientist from Germany, Hannah. They became friends. My uncle, grandparents, aunt (his sister) and I think just my cousin (her son), had visited Germany and stayed with Han...

• VisionWalk 2013

  October 3, 2013

  VisionWalk happened on the 22nd. I'm still amazed by all my family and friends that come out. I didn't think I was going to raise much money but ended up raising $1,280! and we saw Star Wars Characters! It was a beautiful day. Every year it seems as the VisionWalk learns from the previous years&h...

• Where in the world?

  September 20, 2013

  Earlier this week Roger's uncle (64) passed away, just a week earlier he had a stroke. It's so sad. This was Roger's dad's brother. It's a huge family (9 siblings) but everyone is close. With this uncle (and one other one) being closest to FIL's age, he was closest to them. When we went to…

• Bruce – 14 months

  September 16, 2013

  Bruce is learning so much! I can't believe how fast it was from baby who can't hold his head to a baby running all over! As I've mentioned, he has been walking since 10.5 months. He runs a lot too. He spins (both directions, apparently it's not that common at this age to go both…

• A touch of everything

  September 11, 2013

  Last Saturday, we decided to go stop in at my Grandpa's before going to my cousin's party (other side of family). I thought he seemed pretty great, he looked a little rough llike he had gone thru some hardship, which he did. But he seemed good. He has always been such a happy spirited person…

• What is the secret to life?

  September 9, 2013

  Seems lately that people are starting to fall apart. First my grandpa, he's doing much better. Then my parents' friend from HS (my dad still does a lot with him), had a stroke or 2. They then found out that he has a hole in his heart. He'll need surgery to plug that. Luckily, it…

• History of my cabin

  September 5, 2013

  Let me describe the cabin a little, to paint a picture. My great great grandfather (my mom's side) bought 80acres of land in Wisconsin. When it came down to my grandfather and his 3 siblings, one sibling had 2 kids, my grandfather had 6, the other 2 didn't have kids. When my mom and her…

• State Fair

  September 3, 2013

  My mom babysits Bruce Thursday until Roger gets home. We had planned on going to the State Fair Friday with some of the other family members. My mom ended up staying until I got home from work. She did have my brother's 2 girls too. Apparently Bruce had an amazing time entertaining them! After I&...

• VisionWalk

  August 26, 2013

  First I want to answer a comment on last post. Forever that race was always said to be 3.7miles. When we were running, every sign said 3.1miles. The course didn't change at all. So I'm not sure if they realized it was measured wrong all those years or if they're wrong now. I've been slacking…
