Things have been considerably quieter since the Holidays. Auggie started a Tumbling class at the local YMCA and he's loving it - maybe by the end of it he'll be able to do a somersault. We took a weekend trip down to Milwaukee to see Chris's folks before they left for Florida. We were able to sneak away for an evening to see Elaine and Dan and finally meet Margot; she is such a sweetie. One the way down we stopped over in Oshkosh and saw Stoney for a lovely brunch. Other notables include an evening at the Wriston faculty art opening, and a date night at with the Simpsons show at the Trout museum.

This Holiday Season was a marathon of cheer, cookies, festivities, sickness, drinking, eating, travel, toys, family, exciting announcements, snow, cold and generally a very good time. We picked up Justine the week leading up to Christmas and it was great having her around and spending some quality time with Auggie; he's taken to calling her Tine. Matt, Taylor and the boys came in on Christmas Eve and we had a festive meal at our house while the cousins all chased each other. Christmas day was spent at Leta and Johns and was the perfect amount of food, family and presents. Matt, Sarah and Katie came in on Tuesday and we had a full family Christmas that night. It was so much fun having 5 cousins all under the same roof. The following days were spent going to the Y, Children's Museum and a much needed parents bar crawl. We drove down to Mark and Marci's on Thursday and had another Christmas with them before going to Al and Karen's. We celebrated our 4th Christmas the following day with Gus and Dylan. We were grateful to be able to see Aidan and Izzy who were coming through town on their was to the Packers vs. Vikings game. Auggie did great through all the commotion, even with an ear infection. He's been loving his train set and magnatiles. The biggest news with him is how much he is talking! He's stringing 2 and 3 word phrases together, can count to 10 (he sometimes misses 4), and his vocabulary has blossomed. We're looking forward to laying low, eating healthier and playing with new toys. |
