Many of our family outings have also been learning experiences, fun for one, or two or sometimes if we are really on our game, all of us ;). One thing we recently did, was visit the museum. Logan has been to his share of museums in Michigan, and in Chicago, but the one here in Wisconsin is MEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10811126238032576997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086363954089722149.post-19667789258540533782011-01-02T22:09:00.001-06:002011-01-02T22:11:02.312-06:00See That-------------------->There is a small link to Flickr on my sidebar, on the right of the page.

Basically, take a picture, just one; every day for a year. Its a way to capture the day to day life and remember what went on in that year's time. So, I figured I would give it a shot. Here is day one. A big hit at our house this Christmas were the nerf guns.

One thing I have become sort of a freak about is traditions. Especially at Christmas. I have fond memories of things my family did growing up, and I really want Logan to look back and remember the things we made a priority as a family. A tradition we do every year is take Logan to see Santa at Younkers in Sheboygan. Justin and I both did that as children and its special to us to walk in and MEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10811126238032576997noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086363954089722149.post-67044471829095492142010-12-13T21:52:00.003-06:002010-12-13T21:58:50.655-06:00I am still in search.For the perfect Holiday card.

Justin had to work all day, but at four when he was finished we headed down to the lake for an evening swim and some beach lounging. We ended up staying there until the fireworks at ten :) We watched the show from the top of a dune overlooking the channel, it was awesome.
