The past couple of weeks have been filled with tons of rain and lot of attempts at productivity.  Matt has tried to get at the lawn between rainfalls…I’ve attempted to keep up with picking up toys, laundry & directing energy.  I am most thankful that our basement has stayed dry during the record rains.  Last […]

We are in the new house and are really enjoying it.  We have most of the necessities unpacked which makes the other boxes more difficult to unpack. The first couple of days have been eventful with a visit from Tim & Linda, meeting neighbors, and playing outside.  George loves his ‘playground’ swing set, played in […]

So it isn’t typically in my nature to think about the sappy things…but yesterday I looked at the back of George’s bedroom door where we measured his height and had a moment.  I guess in the excitement of moving forward I am realizing what we have had here.  Yes, lots of college students but we […]

Last weekend we had a nice Memorial Day weekend.  We were able to get to my parents and have a nice relaxing visit outside and played ladder golf.  George has been talking lately about the ‘ball game that bonked him in the head’.  He & I were tossing the same ball set & I let […]

Yesterday was my birthday and I turned 33.  I’m not sure what I thought I would have accomplished by this age, but I am happy with what life has for me now.  I was given lots of fb wishes, a nice lunch w/Matt, great cards, and generous gifts to put toward something for myself.  I’m […]

We spent last weekend with my family at the Wilderness Resort & Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells.  We had a condo & George really enjoyed the waterpark.  Over the weekend we celebrated my parents 39th Anniversary (holy cow!) and Mother’s Day.  It was special to have my mom & grandma Kratzke there too.  George was much […]

The past few weeks have been good…Matt is officially in his new position at Reeve and someone has been hired for my previous position so we are both concentrating more on our new professional adventures.  At home we are figuring out the adventures as they come.  George seems to have a great week, then a […]

Last weekend we celebrated Easter and had a great weekend.  George got to color some eggs last week and thought he may like to eat them…but he does not like hard boiled eggs…thus we just had fun coloring them.  Saturday we had an egg hunt with friends instead of going to the city hunt which […]

We have had a bit of a ‘normal’ week.  We are close to completing our financing for the a house.  We put an offer in and had it accepted for 275 Oak Manor Dr in Oshkosh.  We are excited for our June 25th closing date…..there is a chance for it to be earlier if the […]

We had the boys’ dr appt. & pictures on Tuesday.  They are both growing healthy & are well.  The pictures turned out pretty good too!  Stu is starting to react & smile to the photographer and George thought the things she said were funny.  We were glad to get some good shots.  George is 3 […]
