Grandma and Grandpa Visit the Cabin

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Originally, the cabin repair was scheduled to be completed by the end of December, so a visit from Grandma and Grandpa was scheduled. They had a business conference a few hours away from the cabin, so we thought we’d take advantage of it. We’re always happy to spend time with family. 🙂 Unfortunately, as you already know, the cabin repairs were no where near being done, but it turned out okay. We were grateful for the reprieve from the craziness and really enjoyed our time together. We met up with Grandma and Grandpa late Friday afternoon. Since it was nearly…

To Michigan and Back Again

Posted in Family, and Holidays

As I stated yesterday, we planned to begin our journey to Michigan with a stopover at the cabin. When the cabin flooded, family members were concerned that it would change our plans to head up there for Christmas, but we knew that we wanted/needed to be there. All D’s siblings were going to be there as well as my family. Even D’s great grandma was joining the family for Christmas this year. It just isn’t something that happens that often. We had carefully coordinated to make sure that there was at least one day when everyone would be together. Yes,…

Early Christmas at the Cabin

Posted in Family, and Holidays

Instead of heading straight up to Michigan for Christmas, we stopped by the cabin. We needed to check in on the progress (or lack thereof as it turned out) of the work, and it was a better starting point for the trip. Munchkin didn’t know it, but Daddy and I thought it would be fun to surprise her by celebrating Christmas at the cabin. Since we were giving her a Kindle and a keyboard case for her tablet for Christmas, we thought it would be nice to give them to her for the trip rather than wait until we celebrated…

A Visit with Gramma and Grampa

Posted in Family

I’ve been a bit scarce the last week and a half because my in-laws, aka Gramma and Grampa, were here visiting. We had a nice time of fellowship and fun. Gramma said she had a good time of relaxation and renewal thanks to being able to rest as needed. Gramma has health issues, and she really needed some down time. I’m thankful that she felt relaxed enough in our home to truly rest. It was a blessing to see her health get better during their time with us. Munchkin enjoyed the times when they were able to play some board…

Thankful for My Teenage Daughter

Posted in Family

First of all, it’s still weird thinking that I’m a mom to a teenager. I’m sure I’ll eventually get use to it. lol! Kids just grow up so fast. This morning, I work up with my allergies going out of control. My nose was running so much that I ended up looking like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. I was congested, coughing, and sneezing. Needless to say, I was absolutely feeling miserable. I eventually broke down and took some Benadryl which I normally try to avoid as it knocks me out and makes me pretty much useless. That’s something that I generally…
