This past weekend marked the 2yr anniversary of my Father-in-law’s death.  Wow, I don’t write the word ‘death’ often, and now I know why.  Knowing that it would be a rough day my husband and I thought it would be helpful to meet his family in Door County and visit ‘the bluff‘ where Jeff’s ashes were spread.  It is a lot easier to battle hard days like these when everyone is together.

It ended up being a short trip to Door County but a lovely one.  We visited the bluff twice, once at night where the night sky blew us away with thousands of stars!  Un-fortuenly, I did not have my camera with me to capture the clusters of pure sparkle in the sky, but made sure to document the next day at the bluff and the icy waters before heading back to the city.

In Jeff’s style, we made sure to smile and have a good day after all

We had a hard time getting a little motivated the next day after such an emotionally exhausting, yet amazing weekend so we decided to enjoy the wintery snow day in Milwaukee by Lake Michigan.  Days like these are seriously my favorite.  Hope you enjoy

The following Saturday we ventured to Tomahawk to go on our traditional family sleigh ride… Here are a few images of our adventures from that day.

Having kids around always makes things more exciting and joyful.
