Time flies...

As I sit here on our three season porch, in Madison, I realized that our trip is nearly half over. I have been working all over southern Wisconsin and Kim has been busy renovating the kitchen, which looks fabulous by the by. These events have eaten away most of our time. Blogging has been put on the back burner, mainly because I can't figure out how to upload pictures remotely. That just means I'll have to update everyone when we get back to Elizabeth Lake.

We've been enjoying getting to know Shawnie and Kevin's little girl Ivy, who on July 1st officially became their little bundle of joy. In reality that happen the moment they laid eyes on her, but I'm never one to turn down a celebration. She is adorable: all smiles and very inquizative. Shawn, of course, fits perfectly into motherhood. Her ablility to keep an eye on Ivy while carrying on a adult conversation is quite impressive.

We've also been taking advantage of unseasonably cool weather and have walked the dogs every day with Cris and her naughties, Katie & Isabelle. We've now been able to socialize the dogs without much ado and managaed to impress most people when our pack passes by.

Today, Kim and I are off on a little excursion to House on the Rock and possibly Cave on the Mounds near Mt Horeb, followed by, a nice romantic dinner alone back here in Madison. I'm looking forward to this.

Tomorrow my Dad arrives, which I sure will involve further projects in and around the house. I think Dad enjoys being here in Wisconsin. This is the place where his mother's side of his family grew up. Honestly, I think he enjoys traveling more then he ever realized he would. And we love having him here too. One of these days I have to get Chuck and Eileen here as well...hint hint.
