On The Sixteenth Day Of Advent We Visited Great-Grandma

On our drive back to Minnesota we decided to stop at my Grandma's house. She doesn't get to see Meadow much and thought she would enjoy the company.

It was great to hang with Grandma Lungwitz. Brooke's grandpa passed away this week and we were in town for the funeral. We didn't get to talk much to Grandma that day, so it was nice to be able to spend some time with her before heading home.

She's really trying to crawl.

She started doing tow pushups today.

My Grandma tried to encourage her to keep trying.

Meadow enjoyed her time at her Great-Grandma's.

Before leaving, Grandma gave us a wild turkey that Grandpa Lungwitz had shot in the backyard. It still had the feet on it, which kind of weirded me out. I'm looking forward to roasting the wild bird.

Namekagon River Camping

Scott has been wanting to go canoe camping on the St. Croix for a few weeks.
More like a few years. Brooke decided on the windier Namekagon River branch of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.
We thought about going last weekend, but I was thinking it might be busy because of the 4th.
We convinced Blake and Daniel to join us so we would have one car for drop off and one car for pickup. We met Blake at at the Riverside Landing, picked him up and met Daniel at our starting point at the County Road K Landing in Trego.
Since we started in the evening we only went 5 miles before picking our campsite for the night. We chose campsite 29.7. Campsites are free and first come first served.
It was a nicely wooded site but had lots of poison ivy.
We would find out that would always be the case. Basically don't venture into the woods.
We brought along Meadow's walkie talkie, which was perfect since we had two boats.
Theo's not used to being around other people quite yet. Also our camps…

Gardening Mama (or How to Hang Out with High School Friends)

Some of Scott's friends from high school that he hasn't seen in like 7 years were stopping by later to see our house. We quickly cleaned up the place, breaking one of our favorite mugs on the way.

7 Days Down, 158 Days To Go

Umm, well I ended up having a longer Christmas break than I had originally thought. It went really well until the last few days.

I had dreaded this day since we met, I always knew it was going to come, but yet I ignored that it would ever happen. Saying goodbye to Scott was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I've had to do that so many times last year and I still have to do it. If I can get through January and February and I think I will be ok, or so I keep telling myself. I took out a second loan and it got denied, so I'm still as poor as ever until I can figure out what I'm going to do. I'm so glad school starts next week, being alone all day is very hard.

I left Scott Thursday night and headed back to Little Chute, which I was glad I did. We're having some family issues concerning my dad's business and the death of his friend. It tears me up to see him like this.

I wish I could've stayed home longer. I pretty much did, I left home early Sunday mo…
