2023 so far

 We have a winter full of kids' activities, snow days, and other fun so far this year.  A few highlights:

Jonathan took Carrigan, Delaney, and Grant skiing!  It was a perfect winter day.

He also took the big girls for a college visit to University of Minnesota.  Great trip and both the university and the city impressed them.


The younger kids and I took advantage of our Milwaukee Public Museum membership while they were gone. We have never seen the butterflies SO active!

Jonathan and I also fit in a date night thanks to Bucks tickets for a work event for him.  Amazing seats!


He also had a "date night" with the younger girls at the BCS Daddy-Daughter dance! 

Delaney won the fifth grade prize for the Pinewood Derby!  It was SO fun to hear all of her friends chanting "watermelon, watermelon!" for her car in the race. (It was designed to look like a watermelon)
Her basketball season came to an end after lots of hard effort by all of the players. The girls encouraged each other each step of the way.  Their little brothers provided much entertainment as well.
Carrigan's basketball season also came to a close after our favorite CSI tournament. It was a great group of girls and they had fun together, even if most of them would have rather been on the volleyball court. Her very last play of her basketball career featured an impressive jump for a successful rebound. 
Carrigan then hopped in the car with her dad and they drove to Pittsburgh for the weekend!  They attended a funeral for a dear man--a pastor at our church there and also spent time catching up with our wonderful friends there. 
We had a quick trip to Michigan the next weekend and that included the annual guys' hunting outing!
