Cross-country skiing

Perfect day for it!

Valentine's Day

Old tradition that we're keeping: adopting manatees from Save the Manatee Club. This year, Jia chose Elsie and Willa picked Gator.

New tradition that we're adding: One heart for each day of February until Valentine's Day. It was a hit!

Bird Rescue

One of the great things about being a parent is that you are often brought out of your comfort zone by your children. In addition to llamas, Willa has developed a strong love for birds. As such, we will now be volunteering weekly at the Midwest Avian Rescue, a sanctuary for parrots with medical or psychological issues. Willa loves helping animals - and we love her big heart.

After she cleans cages and mops the floor, it’s snack time - everyone’s favorite.

 

 

DIY Snow Globes

We ❤️ DIY snow globes!

So much snow!

This much snow means maple snow taffy with neighbors and low rider trails!

Grand View Lodge

Skiing + snowshoeing + wine + conversation + gorgeous setting = Fantastic weekend!

Testify

"We cannot reconcile with our history - or each other - without sharing the truth about it: America was founded on white supremacy and the lie of racial difference." This is why we brought our family to see Justice Alan Page's Testify exhibit.
