Todd often talks about moving back to Wisconsin. The snowstorms, fog, gale force blizzards, ice dams on the roof, and deep freeze temperatures...what's not to like! We spent a few days in Milwaukee after the wedding, and experienced all of the above. In less than two days. We were going to stop in Madison, but couldn't (the Wisconsin DOT "highly discouraged" any and all travel in/near/through/over southwest Wisconsin). As it was, we barely made it to Iowa the next day before another storm hit. Why can't all of this stuff move south - the people in the south are always saying they want to see snow...but, alas, this never seems to happen. We made it to Iowa Monday, Christmas Eve, to spend Christmas with Grandma Irma. Uncle Erin and family made a surprise visit, arriving a few short hours after us (we knew they were coming - they got delayed too!) It was fun to watch Grandma Irma's expression when they walked in the door. And, we got to hang out with Aunt Jenny and her family too. Heads up everyone - the wedding will be June 28, 2008. It was a very fast week - and the kids had fun playing with each other and Grandma. They took trips to the library, played in the snow, and just had fun. We drove back yesterday after being delayed by (you guessed it) more snow. But, we did arrive to rain in Georgia (pretty rare these days, and very welcome!)
We are just going to do nothing for a few days but enjoy the new year. The kids kinda wish there was some snow. We have a very good sledding hill if we ever do get any...
Happy New Year !!!
