After enjoying a yummy dinner the staff came out and sang Happy Birthday to Chase and smashed some ice cream in [...]

Over Christmas vacation we took the kids skiing at Alpine Valley in White Lake, Michigan. The kids had never gone skiing before and Ken and I hadn’t skied in like 12 years! We almost booked a 3 day trip to Boyne Mountain which is a much farther drive than Alpine. Then we realized that it [...]

We had a great time in Chicago earlier this month. It was chilly, but not so much that it wasn’t tolerable. We just had to keep bundled up when we were outside. The drive there went pretty well. The kids didn’t complain at all since they had more room in our new Yukon. It is [...]

We left at 8:30 this morning, only 30 minutes behind schedule. Not too bad considering everyone was up later than they should have been. Karli’s birthday is next week and we gave her her birthday present a little early (last night). We got her a Nintendo DS and some girly games. Anything to keep her [...]
