Going North for the Holidays

Here I am, blogging from Wisconsin! Mark and I left the 'Ville early Friday, drove to pick up Shiloh from my mom's, and headed north. It is supposed to be a beautiful drive, but we wouldn't know anything about it, because it was fog for 500 miles. Sometimes it would thin a bit, but mostly it was nail-bitingly thick. Anyway, we made good time, and arrived sane and safe here in the outer reaches of Madison.

Shiloh was a great sport. How many single adults can still be sweet and kind after seven hours in a van with five kids? She can! What a girl. She even used her own pocket money to buy a flashing, spinning thing for The Veeves, to keep her distracted from the fact that she had been strapped down for the last four hours, with three hours to go. And it worked!

Not a creature was stirring...
