March 2026

The month started with a sunset dinner with Hadley's soon to be college roommates! What a privilege to watch four beautiful young women on their college journey. And speaking of college, Piper and I toured four campuses in the past three weeks! She has at least three more on her list. This girl is on it! 

It wouldn't be March in Wisconsin without a good late season snow storm - of 20 inches!!

Thankfully, Hadley had spring break plans to visit Grammie in the FL warmth, and we got to join her a few days later!

Our portion of the trip unfortunately got delayed a WHOLE day due to plane troubles, but we made the most of it by checking out our melting pond.

Finally, we made it down to visit Grandma and were treated to dinner with Dave & Kristin too! We took an adventure down to the Everglades the following day and saw loads of alligators and really enjoyed the airboat ride.

We played some mean pickleball over the week.

We even snuck down to the ocean for a delicious meal at Gumbo Limbo.

Our very favorite part of the trip though, was lounging at Grandma's pool with a good book and a fun drink. 

Thanks for hosting us, Grandma!! We loved it ❤️ 

February 2026

Hadley is back in class and enjoying her second semester of college. She has been wrestling with TMJ issues since before Thanksgiving, but has been really tough and is slowly making progress. She is still on a mostly soup diet, but we are prayerful a good burger is in her future! Piper has been playing a ton of basketball mixed with school and Forensics. She even got to play Uncle Kraig's team at the UWEC Sonnetag Center earlier this month! Bryndel has been working hard at school and taking advantage of the snow before it disappears. We are anxious for spring, and track season!!

January 2026

Wow! It has been a COLD start to the new year! Thankfully, school and basketball have been keeping us busy & warm! Our driveway has proven a bit slippery, but it has made for some beautifully reflective sunrises!
