Teddy’s First Birthday

Fair warning – this post is chock full of super cute pictures of Teddy who celebrated his first full orbit around the sun at the end of December. Celebrations included a traditional Spooner meal of pizza and cheese curds at Tony’s followed by cake and ice cream at the Jebel.

Back in Danbury

The weather has been beautiful in Wisconsin since we’ve arrived.  We’ve had a few thunderstorms and an evening of steady rain as well as plenty of sunshine.   We’ve done the unpacking and cleaning and completed one day of the fireplace installation.  So far they’ve installed the fireplace itself and framed it in.  Later this week we’ll get the stonework on.  We also spent an afternoon at the Jebel house with Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art.   Grandpa Art took Kai and Nora hunting for worms and promises to take them fishing later.  For both of them digging for worms has been the coolest thing they have done in months.  It is all they talk about even a day later.

Enjoy the pictures.

Happy New Year!

Crystal has a small point-and-shoot that I just downloaded the pictures off of.  Some turned out quite well so I’m including a batch of them here and that will be it for the Christmas pictures.  Hopefully by the next post I’ll have some pictures of our new house ready to go–we hope to start moving in the next couple of weeks.

A Trip to the Jebel

This was our second trip to Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs at the Jebel house. They have two new Dachshund puppies, Gretta and Gaby ((my apologies to Grandma and Grandpa for not being able to distinguish them by name in the photo captions)) who are full of energy and completly captured Kai’s affection. He couldn’t wait to get back to play with them and would make comments through the next day such as “We sure could use some puppies here.”

Visit with Grandma and Grandpa

Last Tuesday Crystal and I went into town for our annual eye appointments and then went on to talk with the cabinet maker and main contractor for our basement rennovation.  Kai and Nora stayed with Grandma, Grandpa and the new puppies, Greta and Gabby.   Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs get photo credit for the pictures below.
