Every winter the Schaberg family heads to Great Wolf Lodge for a weekend of waterpark fun. As the kids get older, it gets better and better and this year was no exception. 

Groomer ride!

Griffin and I stayed at Crystal Mountain in February for a happy combination of work and catching up with old friends.

I was able to x-off one of my life-long bucket list items: a groomer ride. It was exhilarating!

We had the great fun of having Eli & Jane off and on for a few days while Sara and Scott were out of the country--and got into all kinds of shenanigans, like ballet!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Schaeffer worked so hard to handwrite her name on each valentine

One for each classmate, schoolteacher and BSF teacher

Can you guess which heart craft belongs to Schaeffer Jo?

Griffin and I were able to celebrate his sister's birthday with an Iron Chef-style battle at the Chopping Block in Lincoln Park in Chicago. It was great fun, and great eating. 

Happy birthday, Sara!

Sledding at school

Wednesdays during the winter months at Christ Lutheran are student favorites because the sledding hill is open. Schaeffer loved hitting the sledding hill with her friends and playing in the snow with her friends. 

Schaeffer, the snow bunny!
