Anna, X and I had the pleasure of going home to the US for a couple weeks in July. We were there for two reasons. First (and most importantly), my cousin Chad and his fiancée Andrea were getting married (AKA the Chadrea wedding). Plus, we wanted to introduce Alexander James to his family and friends in the area.
While I am still working on the images from the wedding, there are a handful from two different trips to “northern” Wisconsin that are ready to be posted. The first was a trip to the Miller family cabin, and the second to Uncle David’s home with a stop to our good friend Coree’s cabin nearby. Unfortunately, since I was busy talking and catching up with everyone while we were staying in Southeastern Wisconsin, I don’t have any images from that time. Nonetheless, and without further ado, here are the images from “Up North.”
Grandma Chris and X got along famously. Of course, she was there for his birth, so they are well acquainted.

Mom and X by the side of the cabin… in great afternoon light. As you can see, he loves to raise his eyebrows. Don’t know who that looks like!
Auntie Sarah modeling the light.Her sparkling blues provide great contrast to the red paint, don’t you think?
X wasn’t quite as fond of the light. He prefers to keep his right eye closed a little … just like Dad.
When facing away from the sun, X was happy as can be to watch Auntie Sarah.
Still not happy with that bright thing off to the left…
Here we are…
Grandma Chris and Anna hanging out on the dock of the cabin. It’s a very cute, quiet location … great for kayaking, fishing (even if you don’t catch anything with the best night crawlers), and of course watching movies. I’ve heard the winters can be equally nice in the snow. We’ll see. Although this was my first visit (finally!), I look forward to going back many times in the future.
Now, further up north … on to Uncle David’s beautiful home.
X took his first fishing trip with Mom. Although the pair didn’t catch anything, don’t they look cute??
Even when he wasn’t fishing, he liked just chillin’ on the boat.

Uncle David, X, Anna and I decided to take a little hike around his place. Turns out X loves hiking. So much so, he falls asleep nearly every time (this one no exception).
Walking down the road.

Ok, the next post will have images from the Chadrea Wedding. 🙂 Stay tuned!
