Melissa, Andy and the kids' Blog

Feb 2, 2018: Melissa planned a surprise babymoon.  The last getaway before the baby comes.  This also happened to be the first getaway since the twins came. She took me to Midway, and I found a dairy. It was SO hard to choose which cheeses to buy.  They had a 6 year old white cheddar. It was awesome, I miss it now that it is gone.  You can't even tell she's pregnant, might as well be a photo from the first two days of our honeymoon. Great food at Wildfire Smokehaus and Zermat's.  The trip was wonderful.  We didn't realize how much we missed each other.  The twins stayed with Nana and Granddad, and I'm pretty sure we didn't think about them until the 2nd day when we both said, "I haven't thought about the kids in a day, its great!"

We didn't get much snow this winter, but the kids did have fun when we got a little.  Melissa enjoyed it too.  Pretty sure it was all melted by the time I got home from work.   Once it got too cold outside, Melissa just brought the snow.  Painting in the snow. Every few months they re-discover their fox and wolf costumes and spend a day running around.  Melissa taking all three (plus one of the way) for a walk.  This girl's got a chip on her shoulder.
