Updates on the Cabin Part 2

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

Upon arrival home from the cabin, we jumped back into our regular routine as quickly as possible. Being away from home/work/school for a chunk of time means there is a good deal of work to get caught up on. Munchkin was thrilled to be back in TaeKwonDo as she had really missed it. Thanks to the holidays, D didn’t have as much catching up to do as he would have normally, but he still was quite busy. Me? Well, I had a stack of review items to go through, paperwork to be done, and of course, blogging to accomplish. Plus,…

Our Christmas Vacation 2012

Posted in Family, and Holidays

As you already know, we drove up to Michigan for our Christmas vacation this year, so we could spend Christmas with our families for the first time in many years. A lot of planning went into making this all come together as there were a good number of people involved. For the first time in a very long time, all of D’s brothers and sisters were going to be in one location as well as grams (Munchkin’s great grandma on D’s side), so we knew that we needed to make this trip even if some obstacles were in the way.…
