Visit with Peter & Caitlin (Part 1)

Tim's brother, Peter, recently got engaged to his girlfriend, Caitlin. Since none of us had met his fiance, we invited them to come to our house for fall break. They made the trek from Evansville, IN to Port Washington, WI in like 8 or 9 hours -- a LONG drive. But, it was worth it! We had a great time and invited over extended family to see our house and also meet our soon to be sister-in-law / an aunt to Sonya and Caleb.

The day with a full house went by quick. The food was wonderful, the company was great, and the weather was absolutely beautiful. After all of our traveling guests headed home, the rest of us ate a quick dinner so we could show Peter and Caitlin one of our favorite places to hike, Lion's Den Park. (See more photos in Part 2)

Sheboygan County Heart Walk 2011

Since Tim works for the American Heart Association, we all went to support his event: The Sheboygan County Heart Walk. It was held at River Park in Sheboygan Falls this year and the scenery was beautiful. We walked along the river and downtown a little bit. There was a Kid Zone where the kids could get their face painted, play games, and win prizes. There were other tents set up for sponsors, back screenings, blood pressure screenings, chair massages, and more. My favorite part was wearing a crown (since Sonya didn't want hers) and playing Human Bop It!

It was a little chilly

One of the students and Lakeland wore the monkey suit... hehe

I didn't get a lot of photos to capture everything, but my friend, Kayla, was the photographer for the event and has a few pictures posted on her facebook page: Kayla Sue Photography. So feel free to check them out!

A visit from Grandma Nikolai

Grandma Nikolai took a trip up to WI to visit family and ended her travels by staying with us for two nights. The kids loved it! We went to the Betty Brinn Children's Museum in Milwaukee and brought along lunches so we could eat there too. Caleb had been there before, but the rest of us hadn't. It was such a neat place and we'll definitely go back again.
