A December to Remember

We're closing in on Christmas and with it the Wolfertz family is headed out West; first to Colorado, then on to Utah. How are we getting there? Driving...a small cab truck with our two dogs. Why? So the very talented Mrs. Merrit Wolfertz can have herself a long-cherished piano.

This will be a busy travel week for Matt. He leaves tomorrow night for New Hampshire. His newborn nephew Joseph is battling a serious case of the flu and our fearless doctor wants to be certain his immune system is in full force. He gets back in Wednesday night at midnight.

The next morning we are off to Nashville for a pre-Christmas family dinner and sleepover. Friday morning the long journey begins. Be on the lookout for photos of our adventure.

Speaking of photos, here are a few from this past week.

Buddy and Moe are anxiously awaiting the more than 20 hours of quality time in a confined truck cab.


Buddy has been getting himself in shape for the long journey with ladder climbing...

...or he really just wanted that empty bottle to chew on.

He has also been practicing his sitting pose to prepare himself mentally for the arduous 1,500 miles ahead. He has worked hard on his deep breathing and relaxation techniques (he calls Tai Chi-huahua).


In an effort to show her commitment to the long drive for the sake of a piano, Merrit has seized many opportunities to showcase her piano skills, including this picture from a baptism last night.

Drive VERY safely! This December doesn't need another sorrow, just lots of fun times.
