On Saturday we made a trip to visit my sister, Gretchen in Milwaukee and she gave us a lovely tour of her art school MIAD (Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design) and showed us her latest artwork. She is one talented girl!! She also gave us a tour of the town since this was Josh's first Milwaukee visit! We spent Sunday in Stevens Point and made a trip to the Cheese Factory in Rudolph, WI (about 10 miles away from my parents' house) and stocked up on our favorite cheeses. We hit quite the snowstorm on the way home and it ended up taking 2 days get back but we made it! We had a wonderful trip and were so happy to get to spend time with our families again!
Here are some of our snapshots of the weekend:

| Quite a big pile on the grill... |
Love from Fargo,
