Snow & Greg's visit

We returned from the long weekend in Wisconsin with a tagalong: Greg from Australia. He's a friend of ours from when Ed lived there, and he visits us every couple of years when he's in the U.S. He was in and sang at our wedding in 2005, and then visited again in 2009. This visit was a bit different--first of all, we now have 2 kids and can't go bar-hopping quite as easily, and second of all, we're currently living in a fairly small place. The plan was for Greg to sleep on the blow-up air mattress in TJ's room, but he opted for (or just passed out in) the recliner in the family room instead. And some on some nights, the loveseat, where his legs hung off from the thigh down. Fortunately, Greg is very easy going, so he didn't mind. He also worked in my office/bedroom with me during the day. And then he and Ed drank beer for fun. 

 Here they are, drinking beer. They were supposed to go out to the bars this night, but it was a bit to snowy. And our loveseat (under Ed) is missing the slipcover because it was peed on. And no, not by Ed or Greg...by Thomas.

 Greg is a great guitar player and singer. He let Thomas strum while he changed the notes and sang.

 TJ playing in our first snow of the year. I taught him about snow angels, we made a snowman, and then, most interesting to him, we made snowballs. He loved it!
