Home

More later, but it was a great week in Wisconsin (Gretchen and Baby get to stay for a couple more weeks of relaxation while I go back to work). We spent a couple of days with family near Milwaukee:



Then we went up to the family cabin in the North Woods, where Baby got to make good use of her cool sun-protection swim outfit (similar to a rashy, one of the greatest inventions ever for fair-skinned, skin cancer-prone folks of Nordic descent like myself) and experienced lake water for the first time:







We also took her to the cemetery to see Gretchen's parents' headstones, which was not too somber because Baby pretty much treated them like two big toys--I think it's exactly how Gretchen's parents would want it:



Maybe the best part was just relaxing and, with the exception of a day or two of hot and humid weather, having beautiful and dry 80-degree days with chilly nights (30s and 40s!) and some nice sunsets to enjoy with a glass of wine:
