2009 Christmas wrap-up

I should have posted this before the last one but I didn't have the photos uploaded to the computer. This year once again we spent a wonderful 2 weeks back home in Wisconsin. The first week was spent with Kate's family in Colby and Marshfield. Grammy was excited to spend a week of quality time w/ Joslyn. This year thankfully our trip to Grammy's was uneventful. I should tell you that 2 years ago Odessa was bitten by one of Grammy's farm dogs. So now any time we go see Grammy Odessa is pretty leery of the dogs! Last year it was below zero the whole week we were at Grammy's. So not only was Odessa afraid of the dogs but it was so cold she would only go out on the deck to go potty! That brings us to this year. Temps were nice and the dogs seemed to get along well. To bad the only place Odessa will still go potty is out on the deck. Sorry Grammy, but we forgot to clean up after Odessa. This spring you should have a nice reminder that we were home for Christmas!

Next on the agenda was my family in Menasha. It's always hard to balance time in Menasha with my family and all of our friends in the Fox Valley! We try are best but there are always people we miss seeing or only get to see for few hours! So, I guess what i'm saying is, sorry if we missed you. Basically our week with my family and friends was busy from day one. Lunch here, dinner there an afternoon over there. In one word busy! But we managed to fit equal amounts family and friends into our schedule. we were also able to fit in a Packers game at Lambeau Field as well! Go Pack Go!

The 2 weeks went fast and before you know it we were back in the car driving another 16 hours back home. Luckily the trip home was sunny and clear, unlike the trip up. Anyways, We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and we wish you all a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!


First things first - sorry we haven't updated the blog since December 7th!!! Since it is 2010 we can let you all know that Kate has agreed to ride (her Bike) for an elite squad here in the Southeast. Most of the women are split between Atlanta and Chapel Hill and the team has a formal training camp coming up at the end of January. Kate will get to meet all the members of the team and find out what races they will focus on. As of right now the National Race Calendar(NRC) will be their main focus. So it is possible we may be in your area racing this summer. If so come on out and show your support for Kate and her teammates! As always we will be posting all summer long with race updates.
