Puppy Kisses

Today we saw some sled dogs at the library close to our house. A woman, who lives nearby, gave a presentation about how they train the dogs and such. It was very interesting and they had a pretty large crowd for a tiny country library. Erich was very fond of the dogs, but not so fond of the licking after a while.

And, well, we're enjoying the snow-filled winter here in Michigan. Jonathon went ice skating on a pond behind his parent's property today and we spent some time pulling Erich around in the sled. It's supposed to rain on Monday so we're soaking it all up.

Beautiful day in the country




Erich had fun, Saturday, doing chores with Grandma and Grandpa. What weather!! It was a beautiful, sunny day (about 40 degrees). Unfortunately all of our beautiful snow is completely gone.

Of course, now the snow is slowly returning and temps are dropping to the 20s this week. Ahhh...blessed Michigan winters. I think Jonathon and I are the only psychos who love this stuff.

Jonathon is currently in New Jersey working on revisions for his thesis. And, because he is gone, Erich is ill again. His teething, then coughing, then fevers, then thick yellow snot...here we go again. I'm sure he'll be better just as Jonathon gets back on Thursday.

Other than that, life is going well. We are looking forward to Jonathon defending in late February and then he will finally be Dr. Schramm!!
