Grand Rounds

We’re back! We were sorry to see that we’ve been somewhat MIA from our website lately. We went through our photos trying to figure out what we did during the month of August; we’re still not quite sure. That probably means we were busy with work/flying, our never ending yard project (more to come on…

Top Ten of Tahoe

We had our first Wiktor/Case family vacation this summer; destination – Lake Tahoe. In an effort to keep this brief, here’s our Top Ten of Tahoe: 10. Photog – Photography that is. Many of us seem to have the photog bug and it was the perfect setting to snap away. Credit to Mike for many…

Merry and Bright

It was a beautiful white Christmas in Minnesota and such a blessing to be surrounded by so much love during the holidays. The season was kicked off with the Case/Wiktor holiday party. Despite all the months of planning, days of cooking and hours of last minute preparations it is always a huge success and this…

Minnesota and monkeys

It’s not every day that you can say you saw wild monkeys in Minnesota! While we kinda cheated (went to the zoo), Mere and I were able to make that claim during our last trip back home. Yes, I know the picture is of an orangutan but we did see monkeys too. Our whirlwind trip…

Retreat to Seattle

Nearly 3 years have flown by since we were married and each year we have had our hearts set on going on a honeymoon. This year we were finally able to make it happen! We always wanted to return Europe and travel parts of Spain and Italy we haven’t seen, in addition to Greece. However,…

Minnesota Part II: Laura & Gabe Got Married!

The second part of our trip (and the real reason for our trip to Minnesota) brought us back to Minneapolis for Laura & Gabe’s wedding. Prior to the wedding festivities kicking off we spent some quality time with my family. We had the opportunity to check out my parent’s newly renovated kitchen – it’s a…

Minnesota Part I: The Death of a Legend!

The first part of our Minnesota adventure started with quite the unexpected twist. Dad picked us up from the Minneapolis airport on-time and in-style; his 1991 Dodge Grand Caravan with, yes – you guessed it, wood panels on the side, slid up to the curb, we tossed our bags in its spacious trunk and hit…

Catching up…

All our faithful blog stalkers (hopefully we have one, or two) may have noticed we took a hiatus from posting, but now it’s time to catch up! Catching up was the name of the game for the end of our summer as we spent nearly every weekend traveling to visit family and friends. Our first…
