For the Love of Fall
We’ve had some beautiful days this fall, and since it’s Muma’s favorite season, we’ve been soaking it up as much as we can. We took a jaunt to Hidden Lake Gardens for Alexander’s first lessons in tree climbing with Papa, and some leaf skating where Papa held Alex under the Continue Reading
When the cat’s away…
This year while David was down in Ecuador, Michelle came down to spend some time with us and it was certainly a whirlwind of a week! Tuesday, we jaunted up to Saginaw to visit Oma (A2’s Great-Grandma), chat a bit, play a little ‘fire truck’ and take a dip in Continue Reading
A Classic Michigan Fourth
This year for the fourth of July weekend, we headed up to The Cottage for a classic holiday weekend with the Schaper fam. It was a marvelously relaxing weekend with nothing but hours for chatting, boating, babying, yummying, and, of course, watching fireworks. Aunt Nancy and the Schāpers got to Continue Reading
Happy Mother’s Day!
We celebrated another very special Mother’s Day this year with the new advent of our little Aidan. We’d planned for something low key, but once again another spontaneous Winkler adventure marked its course. David had a couple appointments to run in the morning, but Nana popped over for a pancake Continue Reading

We enjoyed a very nice Sunday this Easter Weekend. We hadn’t really hyped it up or even done much planning, but Mama had picked up a couple bags of plastic eggs (see notes from “First Easter” ) earlier in the week, and we’d colored some stickers for a ‘Thankful’ project Continue Reading
Alexander Turns Two!!!
Well, We are now officially the proud parents of a two year old! We had a delightful birthday celebration on Wednesday- something a bit quieter at home, but we were so happy to share the day with Nana and have Papa home for his birthday lunch. Starting with wake-up, Mama Continue Reading
Back to Bethlehem
Nana, David and Alexande cheese in “Bethlehem” (click here for a flashback pic from last year) This year, David worked as one of the city guides in A2’s Walk-Through Bethlehem. When he, or any of our garbed up friends first approached him, Alex was quite taken aback, but a slow Continue Reading
Hidden Lake… Again :)
Alexander and family are becoming regulars to a wonderful little spot called Hidden Lake Gardens. The spring time holds many delight of colors and smells, but fall has it own type of glory with the crunching of leaves and the crisp Autumn air. Grandpa and Grandma were able to join Continue Reading
First Tastes of Fall
Grandpa and Grandma came down this weekend to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday and to spend some time with Alexander (and us too, I guess 🙂 ), and Sunday morning we headed out to Plymouth Orchards to get that first swig of cider in for fall. Cider and donuts have always been Continue Reading
