My third year in a row with the happy, giggly, energetic, loving, gorgeous, sweet family in Osh Kosh, Wisconsin! LUCKY ME!!!  Kristen has been my best friend since she moved next door to me in 1978.  We've obviously had our share of wonderful and mischievous times, endless memories, and so many wonderful good times.  My annual trip to see her just adds to these memories.  Kristen was made to be a mother; it's the most beautiful expression of her kindness, her silliness, her talent, her patience, and her go-with-the-flow attitude.  Mark is her soul mate and their marriage just gets more fun to be around as their family grows. They laugh at everything and are true partners in this journey.  Being at their home is both hilarious and exciting and sweet and relaxing.  There's nowhere I'd rather be.
We went to a museum, a park, and hung out in their happy home
Mark and Kristen's children get more beautiful and cooler and happier every year.  Come to think of it, so do they.
Here's what I saw this year:
