Half Way Through!!!

Thank goodness we have finally made it halfway through Milwaukee!  We have been here for 3 months so far and are now counting down the weeks until we move on to our next assignment! 

We have to admit, it really has not been as bad as we imagined.  The weather has been abnormally warm this winter throughout the country and we are just so lucky to have such a mild winter!

Now, that doesn't mean that we have not experienced our fair share of winter weather...

This was a fun day at work.  I had to go home early because my windshield wipers were freezing in the down position and I couldn't see!  With a job where you need to drive from one patient to another, that just is not a good idea!

Oh, and then there was this storm.  Luckily the snow came at night, so we just had to wake up to the mounds of snow, but then was fine for the rest of the day!

Well, at least Stanley has his snow booties with thanks to Mom for sending them!

We have been entertaining ourselves in Milwaukee and Chicago, starting with Angelina coming to visit!  We met her in Chicago were we went out to dinner at the most interesting restaurant called The Girl and The Goat.  The next day we took her back to Mader's for some more beer and German food.  I think she liked it, but like I warned her, by the end of the weekend our bellies were stuffed full!

Thanks for coming to visit Ang!

We went to a great antique store here in a cute little town just outside Milwaukee called Muskego...

I found some great items including an old license plate that I am going to frame, an old household help book from Heloise, a beautiful green glass box and a super cute glass vase!

Doesn't it look nice with tulips in it?  I'm sensing spring in the air!

I had a wonderful patient introduce me to the famous OH Danish Bakery in Racine.  They are known for their Kringles which is basically a buttery bear claw the size of my head!

YUM.

Dwight and Stanley are spending lots of time with each other here in Milwaukee.  Aren't they just the cutest brothers?  We have learned how essential an electric blanket is for Winters in Milwaukee.  These boys would not budge off this blanket to the point that Jason and I had to buy another one for us to use!
And then we questioned ourselves...
Are we spoiling our pets??
Yep...

Ok... 13 weeks to go!  I can't wait to see whats next in our adventure!
