What do you know, Wild Bill is double digits! Four months after his birthday (because of course this post is not timely) I’m still in disbelief that my youngest kiddo has already reached this milestone. Sidenote, we never call him Bill but this nickname has definitely stuck and become oddly fitting. While some years Will…

Will & Mom’s Excellent Adventure
The Wiktors got to plan not one, but two cross country adventures. Dad, Sophia, and Lucy got a jump start on the driving leaving Will and I to chart our own course. You can always count on me to piece together an action packed itinerary (and I love a good movie reference or corny joke)….
Sophia’s 11th
So much has happened since we celebrated Sophia’s 11th birthday. A hike across a country and a move across another, just to name a few. While all the business may have been a good excuse to skip the birthday recap, I couldn’t bring myself to skip it. So here it is, four months late. Sophia’s…
Très ski
The whole family cruised north for one final ski trip of the season, this time to Northstar. Three Wiktors were very excited to hit the slopes, and one Wiktor was looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation. Binge watching Ted Lasso and working on a 1,000 piece puzzle – sign me up!…
Merry Moments
As if our Thanksgiving travels weren’t busy enough, December was a whirlwind. Despite the busy weeks leading up to another round of traveling, we fully enjoyed each moment of the holiday season. Sophia and I were thrilled to resume our annual Nutcracker tradition. Despite the masks and a mishap with the Cavalier during the pas…
Racing to another birthday – Will turns 9
Will turned nine! I’m not really sure how we made it to nine already (I mean, it’s half way to 18!!!) but here we are. He is adventurous, curious, and has such a big heart. He loves being around people, young and old, and will talk anyone’s ear off. His second grade teacher hit the…
A Decade of Sophia
Wow! Ten whole years as parents, ten whole years with our Twinkle Toes. Since I’m late [as usual] with this post, and because I’m a nostalgic person, I took an extra long trip down memory lane. Each picture brought back memories of her sweet personality or funny moments over the years. From the quiet, super…
Stay-cation
If there were ever a place that is worthy of a stay-cation, Southern California is definitely one of them. When Mike and Heather mentioned wanting to visit, we were thrilled to pencil some visitors onto our calendar. The cousins’ spring breaks coincided which allowed us to spend a week together camping, hiking, beach exploring, cooking,…
Sprinkles of Spring
While there certainly aren’t four distinct seasons in SoCal, it does feel spring like once the time change rolls around and we get to enjoy more of the glorious SoCal sunshine each day. Kind of like there isn’t a big change in the weather, not much changed at Casa de Wiktor this month. We spent…
Christmas Traditions
While it’s not completely unheard of for us to stay at home (wherever that may be) and not travel to Minnesota for Christmas, we always miss spending the holiday there. This year more than ever we cherished all of our Christmas traditions, but I also enjoyed making some new ones. Early into the holiday season,…
