This Christmas, the boys agreed to ask Santa for a few less gifts so he might bring more to kids in need. They pored over the World Vision catalog for weeks until they settled on: 2 insect shield blankets, 2 chickens, 1 rabbit and a medicine kit. Liam took Max's suggestions for items to get and then weighed the value for money of each item! Seeing the thought they put into this really was the best part of my Christmas.</div>

Santa got them a special gift for being so caring this Christmas..."Little House on the Prairie" on DVD! It was so cute because they did not expect anything in return for their gifts, but they were thrilled! Love these sweet kids.</div>

I love seeing Aaron lead these kids. He is an Eagle Scout and had a wonderful Scoutmaster named Jerry Tilton, who instilled some great lessons in him. He felt Jerry prodding him to volunteer to be Cubmaster during the very first meeting we attended. When Aaron was a scout, at the end of every meeting, Jerry would have the kids cross their arms and hold hands in a circle like this. Jerry would say, "And now, may the Scoutmaster of all scouts be with us until we meet again," and that is how Aaron ends each Pack meeting. Jerry passed away last year, but he is very present in Aaron as he reaches the next generation of scouts.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So proud of my scouts! And they both look pretty handsome in their uniforms!</div>

I have always had a strange fascination for space. I remember spreading out my dad's big blue sleeping bag in the backyard on summer nights and watching the stars appear, or lying back on our snow tubes after some night sledding and looking up at the brilliant sky. I told people I wanted to be a biochemist one day and become an astronaut like Shannon Lucid. I did eventually realize that acheiving these goals required more than a passable understanding of mathematics and more complex science than my brain could handle, but if I could get there on pure heart, I might have been to space and back again by now!<br />
<br />
Liam shares so many interests with both Aaron and me, and seeing things like the universe through his eyes is so amazing to me. We talked about the Rosetta probe reaching comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko and sending out the Philae lander to explore and send information back to earth; hoping to discover more about the origins of the universe and the beginning of life as we know it.<br />
<br />
"Mom, I don't think it is such a good idea to find out exactly how life began," Liam said after thinking over our comet conversation. When I asked him why not, his answer stopped me cold.<br />
<br />
"Because if we find that out, people will think they are just like God."<br />
<br />
He is 8 years old. He grasps the ethical dilemas of scientific discovery as a second grader. He amazes me every day.<br />
<br />
Tonight I snuck him out of his room after Max fell asleep to watch <i>Apollo 13</i> snuggled up in the chair with me. We get one wild and crazy life to live, buddy, and I can't wait to see the things you will do.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03720426938011606536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951655841196729045.post-14646039000356914252014-11-02T19:20:00.001-06:002014-11-02T21:22:09.955-06:00Happy 8th Birthday, Liam!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a truly epic weekend! The boys dressed as Call of Duty soldiers for a very brisk evening of trick-or-treating! The whole family was in town for the weekend, and we spent Saturday at Lambeau Field browsing the Gallery of Shoppes and Cabela's! We also had cocktails at Anduzzi's, swimming at the hotel pool and dinner at Graystone Alehouse!</div>

Dad up in the garage loft. Hi dad! About 5 seconds after I took this he spotted a dead partridge in the driveway. We thought maybe the camp has a magical force field that kills animals who get too close. Then you don't have to hunt for your dinner, you just set your lawn chair up at the force field.</div>

Mom and I sealed all the wood inside the cabin. I had the honor of using an old dog dish for my sealer bucket. So lucky. Sisters - this is the wall behind the stove after a coat of sealer. It barely looks any different, but it looks fresher and really nice. Not really shiny, but maybe a little bit of a sheen to it. Dad took over sealing for me in the afternoon because I had to leave to come home for work. They have a list of things they'll be working on for the rest of the weekend. Sarah heads up there with them the next two weekends, and hopefully we can get the boys up there before it gets too cold out! They are going to love OUR NEW CAMP! </div>

After our visit to the Little House Wayside, we drove about 20 minutes north to visit Crystal Cave in Spring Valley, WI. The boys have been begging to go to the cave since last summer, and we've been promising to take them and then forgetting about it. I wanted to get this trip in before the end of the summer, and I am so glad we did! We spent the night at Auntie Sarah's in Wausau, and then drove west for our day of adventures!</div>

The cave tour is well done and the cave itself is very navigable. Our tour guide, Amanda, did a nice job and taught us a lot about the history of the cave, bats and, of course, crystals! The boys got to help "lead" the group into the various chambers and were careful not to run or touch anything. They got a little chilly in the 50 degree cave, but at an hour long, the tour was just long enough. We emerged from the ground and headed over to Prospector's Creek to do some gem panning!</div>

They had to screen and slide it through the mining sluice to make the gems and minerals appear. And appear they did! They both squealed happily as shiny gems separated from the dirt. They uncovered quite a few gems, and I was impressed with how much they found in one small bag!</div>

Aaron went back to school yesterday, and the boys and I took off for a quick end-of-summer trip! We have been reading the <i>Little House</i> books and the boys are very into them. I decided we would stop at the Little House Wayside in Pepin, WI to see where<i> Little House in the Big Woods </i>began. I took this same trip with my family when I was younger, and I wanted the boys to experience it, too. They were SO excited when we finally arrived!</div>

I'm so happy to be able to share these books that were such a huge part of my childhood with my kids. They listen intently to each chapter we read, and they remember things down to the smallest detail. It was great to bring Laura to life for them here, and we are already planning our future trips to the other <i>Little House</i> historic sites!</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Driving to town today, Max suddenly asked me if I would help him make a jacket when we got home. I told him that he already has a jacket and asked why he was thinking about making one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Well, I found this string and I think it will work very well for a jacket and tie it around the middle, like this."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I asked if it was like a cloak and he insisted it was not. It would be a jacket he would wear for adventures. So, we got home and found an old plaid jacket that used to be Liam's. Max ventured downstairs and emerged with a handful of fabric, ribbon and an old baby slipper. He asked if I would cut the slipper and make it into a pocket for the jacket. I pointed out that the jacket already has four pockets, but he was very insistent on adding more. I cut the slipper apart and he sat next to me, watching me sew very carefully. As soon as it was finished, he placed a sharpie, some paper and a foam paintbrush inside.</div>
<br />
I kept asking where he got this idea and suggesting maybe he had seen something like it in a book or a movie. He said, no, he had thought of it all by himself. He was so specific about what he wanted and so excited about it, I just couldn't get over how cute it was! He tied fabric with a ribbon to make a bow, and chose a large square of patterned fabric and instructed me where to sew it onto the jacket. I sewed for a good hour, and he still wants more added. We will continue working on it tomorrow, but here is where we are so far...<br />

The water was just inches deep, and the kayak skimmed easily through the reeds to places you just can't get to by boat, or even on foot. </div>

The Veteran's Museum and Ella's Deli rounded out our trip, and we're home with half the weekend still before us! We packed a lot in to a day and a half, but we didn't feel rushed and were able to really have fun and relax as a family. Swimming in the hotel pool topped the boys' favorites list, and seeing Madison through the eyes of my kids and snuggling in bed with Max topped mine! The grooming of these future Badgers has begun! ;)</div>
