Everything's Okray: Fighting the Winter Blahs

Well it's been almost two months since our last post so I thought that I would let you know what we've been up to since then. The rest of the month of January was relatively quite for us. We stayed home in Janesville every weekend and enjoyed the NFL playoffs (except for the Packers losing of course!) and had some fun at the Glen Erin Holiday Party on January 21st.

On February 4th we drove up to Mauston, WI to see Cristina and Mark Becker's new bundle of joy, Canaan, who was born on January 10th. It was so wonderful to catch up with the Becker's and to meet Canaan. Amber was also very excited to hold him! Babies (especially babies as cute as Canaan) are so wonderful!

The next weekend we journeyed to Milwaukee/Chicago to see The Darkness in concert at The Metro in Chicago. We headed to Milwaukee first to pick up our friends Briton and Maureen and then headed to Chicago for the day. We walked around Wrigleyville and Downtown and then took in the concert at night. The concert was amazing! The Darkness is back in full force and we can't wait to see them in concert again.

The weekend of February 24-26th we went to Milwaukee to spend the weekend with Adam and Becky. We took in an Admirals Hockey Game on Friday night (they won!) and then offered a free concert from the Dropkick Murphy's. Their music isn't something that we've listened a lot to, but we really enjoyed the concert and the game. On Saturday we took a Miller Brewery Tour and then went to A.J. Bombers for dinner. The restaurant lived up to the hype as it was very good! After dinner we headed to Mr. and Mrs. Carroll's for snacks and game night. We played girls verses boys and although the girls put up a good fight the boys ended up winning two out of three games of Pictionary and Trivial Pursuit. Although Trivial Pursuit was very close at the end! We had a great time in Milwaukee and need to plan another "Siblings Weekend" again soon.
