The Northwoods

The last few weeks have been busy.  We've had six friends or family members move far away in recent weeks, and man do we miss them!  The house is now quieter without my sister around, and we are trying to take time and slow down. 

Fortunately, we planned to spend an entire week in Wisconsin, and we have been LOVING every minute of it so far.  On Friday we headed to the Northwoods to spend time at one of my favorite places - Three Lakes.  We soaked it all in and are loving this fall-like weather - the fresh air, pleasant but crisp weather, friday fish fry, ice cream shop, winery, bike rides, curling up with good books, campfire, smores, and the outdoors.  Monday/Tuesday brought us to Minocqua, WI where we met and spent time with Matt's parents.

Here's a glimpse of our extended weekend in the Northwoods.

We hope you had a wonderful and relaxing Labor Day weekend! All our love from Wisconsin - Matt and Amanda
