BRRRRR!!

Our little Packer.
Jackson's underpants!

Hello from the frozen north! Seriously it is COLD up here! I really don't remember it being this cold. The weekend was pretty much all below 0 temps with the wind chills around 20 below. Then it warmed up in the teens, wow heat wave, and I just read our weather gauge and it is 6 below. Joni, I have my heater on. :)

Other than the cold temps things are going well. Since we live in Packer country we thought we'd join the rest of the state and cheer on the Packers, unfortunately they lost. Actually we bought the Favre jersey last spring on ebay. Little did we know then that we'd be living up here now. I guess life is crazy that way. You never really know what's going to come your way.

We've been working hard on the potty training thing. He's doing well but will not do stinkers in the potty. He really likes to wear his underpants and HATES diapers. We've got a long way to go but at least it's a start.

This weekend we are heading to MI for a weekend away with my family. My grandparents are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and are having the entire family together for a little getaway. We are looking forward it and Jackson is excited to be with his cousins again. I'm sure we'll have more pictures to post next week.

We've also been doing a lot of house hunting. As of yet we haven't found anything to submit an offer on. But we've got time and don't have to rush into anything.

That's all for now.

Happy New Year!

We traveled home to MI for Christmas and had a very busy but great time. Jackson was so excited about all things that Santa brought him, especially his fire truck. I think we may need to add on to fit in all the toys. I can't wait to find a house and be able to have a designated toy room. Right now they seem to be everywhere!

Hopefully you all had a great New Year. We spent it watching both Kentucky and Michigan win their bowl games. Jackson included. He likes to cheer on the Cats even if they are not playing. To him all football is GO CATS. :)

Below is a year in review montage that we put together. From Jackson's first snow fall last Feb, to our beach vacation to Myrtle Beach, to a very long hospital stay and surgeries, and moving up to the Wisconsin, it was year full of surprises and changes. Here's hoping for a year of good health, fun and lots of happiness!
