Wonewoc Birthday Celebration

This past weekend we traveled down to Matt's parents house for a weekend visit and to celebrate Abigail's birthday.   It was nice to visit with everyone and do some much needed relaxing.  

Abigail is a very lucky girl to be part of this fun family.   We had a birthday gathering on Friday night....the food was great and the cake was adorable.   Abby had a good time and enjoyed her gifts from everyone.   I have to say that I think we will be putting on many miles on the wagon from aunt Jamie!

Thank you again for a great weekend! Abigail has been busy with her new toys ever since we got home!

Below are a ton of pictures from the weekend....they are a little out of order but still cute.  Enjoy!

Caution: there will be more birthday posts coming in the next few weeks since we are celebrating over the next few weekends.   Abigail is one spoiled girl!

The rest of July

Well now that August is upon us, I thought I should update for the rest of July.

It has been quite a crazy month for us, but very good.
Matt has accepted a position as the high school chemistry teach in Mosinee.  This is where he did his student teaching, so that is pretty neat.  We are all very excited for this change, but a little nervous to see how the longer drive and new school year will go.  In the end, it is a good change for Matt and this family.

Since he will be driving further, we decided to purchase a 3rd vehicle to keep gas costs down. We are going to keep Matt's truck since we use it quite a bit - so we have entered into the world of 2 drivers, 3 cars!  We purchased a 2014.5 Toyota Camry - it is our first brand new car and Matt is loving it so far.  It gets great gas mileage and we hope that we can use it for weekend trips.

Scott, Sarah, Grace, Jade and Rommel came up to visit one weekend in July.  That was a crazy weekend with 3 girls and 2 dogs - but it was fun. Grace and Abigail sure enjoyed playing together.  We spent some time at the Splash Pad and riding the little train at Marathon Park.  Overall it was a great weekend and nice to spend time with them.

Last weekend, we had Matt's brother and sister up to visit - nice to spend time with them.  We played with Abigail and Koda and had some fires in the backyard!  Very relaxing!

We made a trip to Mishicot also this month so that Matt could get some golfing in with my dad.  It is always nice to spend the weekend there relaxing.  We even squeezed in a trip to the Green Bay Wildlife Sanctuary...Abby sure loved feeding the geese/ducks!

This weekend we are off to start the birthday celebrations with Matt's family.  I am not throwing big birthday parties each year, so this year it will be split up into a couple of weekends with each family.  Nice and small - the way we like it!

Well, to end, below are a ton of pictures from the last few weeks.  Enjoy!
