Crossing State Lines!!

As most of you know, this time of the year is very hectic for me at work. Working six days a week and 10-12 hours per day is taxing, but we are almost finished with another tax season. I have decided to take a weekend off, so this coming weekend the three of us are fleeing the state and going to Ripon. It will be Adelaide's first trip across state lines and hopefully she will be good in the car! Tiff had two god drives with her last week on their short trip to Duluth, but that is only about a 2.5 hour drive and it usually takes about 4.5 to get to Ripon. We will see how well Addie does for that long in the car.

It will be a big weekend for her, meeting new people and seeing Grandma & Grandpa Mlodzik again! Addie only has two more Great-Grandparents to meet. Great-Grandma Splitt recently had surgery and has been staying at my parents house, so Addie will get to meet her Saturday morning when she wakes up. Grandma is recovering nicely and quickly, which is really good. Great-Grandma Bus will also be stopping over on Saturday to meet Addie. For those of you who don't know, Great-Grandma Bus is Great-Grandma Mlodzik, but I started the Bus name when I was little. My Grandpa used to drive the school bus for Ripon and since I couldn't pronounce our last name (I mean what little kid can!), I called them Grandpa & Grandma Bus. It has stuck to this day, and Addie will carry on the tradition. I am most excited for Addie to meet my Grandmas because neither of them get to meet girl grand-kids very often. I mean Grandma Splitt has four boys and Grandma Bus has 9 boys and 2 girls. Adelaide is the first Great-Grandchild in my family, so it will be exciting to see the reactions from them!

I'm not sure who else Addie will meet this weekend, but I guess she will get to meet a few other aunts and uncles and the neighbors of Erin Ct. It should be a fun weekend and we will let you know how it goes when we get back.

Until next time...

Love,
Trav (Tiff & Adelaide too)
