Happy Thanksgiving

Nov

We had Lynn’s parents, Mary and Elizabeth over for the long weekend. We had
fun at the house and we also got to go downtown to Betty Brinn’s Children’s
Museum. Click here for the photos. This was the first of many family event’s
now that we are back in Wisconsin!

The Dogs didn’t like watching us eat!

Happy Halloween

As you can see, Maddie was a witch this year after we convinced her that a dinosaur for the third year in a row was not happening. Eli really didn’t know what was going on so he decided to be a cat and witch…in overalls. Click here for all of the photos!

Adorable – that’s all I can say

We’re Back!

By Michael

Oct

It’s official – we are back in Wisconsin! Email us if you want our new contact information!

The move went well; it was a lot of work, but it went well. Here’s a quick recap being that it has been so long:

We moved to WI back on 9/26 & 9/27 – thanks to all that helped!
Maddie will not be attending school any more. My Dad (Papa Creed) teases Maddie telling her that she is a kindergarten drop out! The reason she will not be attending school any longer is because she is not old enough per Wisconsin standards…they would not allow her to start here even though she had already started in Kentucky. Per my conversation with Ms. Joanie – Maddie’s teacher in KY – this will not be a bad thing for Maddie. We look forward to finding all sorts of fun things to do!
Lynn will be starting back at her old job with Grede Foundries soon; this is a God-send for sure. We are still working out the logistics of it all, trying to avoid a HUGE daycare bill!
I am working from our apartment (we didn’t have time to find a house) until my company restarts the Wisconsin Office project – it was put on hold a few weeks ago.
After several delays that were completely out of our control, our house-sale is supposed to close on Wednesday of this week. We are very thankful for that!

Remnants of Hurricane Ike

Ike was a nasty storm; look what it did to us in Louisville, Kentucky! We were so lucky that all we had were some broken trees – no property damage at all.

This all happened on 9/14/2008 – less than two weeks before we are set to close on our house – and the power was out for over eight days straight! What a mess!

The great thing about it was that we had an unexpected surprise visit from our Friends Lyndsey, Nicole and Amber – who live just outside of Nashville, TN – so we had some help cleaning up and some company for the first night in the dark!

Below are a few photos, the rest can be seen here.
