Weekend Trip Up North

Derek is the cutest and happiest baby. He'll be 1 in a month! How time flies!

Brad's parents were gracious enough to let us stay at their cottage in Pentwater last weekend. It was great to get away for a couple days. The kids had tons of fun sledding and playing in the snow. The highlight of the trip for Audrey and Tyler was getting to share a bedroom. They act like teenagers, trying to stay up as late as their little bodies will allow. Sawyer still got stuck sleeping in the pack and play in the bathroom. He wasn't happy about that. And since we all know about his climbing escapades, much baby proofing had to be done (such as using a lock for the toilet and removing just about everything from the bathroom that wasn't nailed or cemented down). The highlight of the trip for the adults was when the kids actually went to sleep and we got to hang out, drink beer, eat too much, play games and watch a pretty lame opening ceremony for the Olympics. Canadians are weird. On that note, now that we've gotten our snowy up north trip in and enough sledding to hold us over until next year, I think it's time for spring!!
