Road trip to CA

Moments before starting the long trip from Waukesha to Riverside

Fun times in our packed out car!

Representing

Carsten is representing for the Brewers! Farewell Wisconsin we will miss you!

Hitting the road

The car is fixed...thankfully a transmission service did the job! (It is running great and the mechanic gave us an 80% chance of making it just fine to CA)

The house is cleaned...spent the last few days getting it all done!

And we will hit the road tomorrow morning for our first stop of many...Nebraska!

We will post pictures of our stops along the way. Think of us in the next week while we make our way to the Wild Wild West (a.k.a. Riverside, CA)

Trouble on route to Canada

Last night Jeff and our friend Branden left to take a load of our stuff up to Canada. They ran into some trouble midway through the night with the car. It seems that the load was just a bit heavy for our car. They pulled over and let it cool down before continuing on. They eventually had to stop for a few hours just to give the car a break. They made it to the border this morning where they ran into a little trouble with Jeff getting his visa. Anyway he got the visa and got across the border with our stuff. I am waiting on word that they arrived to the destination safely. Please think of them today as they plan to get back in the car and head home.

Packing

In the midst of packing up our belongings we have managed to capture a few cute shots of the boys!

Funny photos

Rylan put all of his cars next to Carsten so that they could play together! I love how Carsten is smiling at Rylan!

I put the movie Cars on for Rylan, but instead of him watching it look who is...Carsten and his little friend Theo! Rylan was off playing in his room.

Rylan was calling me from his room the other day when he was supposed to be taking a nap and this is how I found him...with almost every pair of underwear he owns on his legs

New family blog

Welcome to our new family blog! Here you will find regular updates about our family. You will also find lots of photos because they can usually tell the story better than either Jeff or I can. We are committed to keeping you up to date on our family while we travel the world!
