27 hours in Milwaukee

Dear Amelia -

Lydia's Mom passed away suddenly in the middle of December. They opted to have her service later...this gave us the chance to buy plane tickets at a decent price to go to Milwaukee for the funeral.

Lydia's Mom - Peggy. She was a RIOT!

We woke up nice and early to head to the airport. You were sassy from the get-go. 

 We landed in Milwaukee at 830am (nice 45 minute flight!) and Mr Stephens' picked us up.

 Our first stop was O'Lydia's so Mr Stephens could finish up some stuff around the bar.

 Then we went to the house for a bit before heading to the wake and funeral. You were acting up a little during the service so I took you out to the waiting room where you took off your shirt and ran around like a wild woman.
After the service, we traveled to the lunch. The mixture of no nap and waking up at 430am was bad, really bad. You threw a huge (embarrassing) temper tantrum. I quickly got you out of there and went back to the house for a nap!
When you woke up, Robbie found some paints for you to try out. You painted for over an hour. I've never seen you do something for an hour straight!

After painting, you and Mr Stephens (or just Stephens' as you call him) played and laughed until Lydia came home. Then you played with baby Brenda and hid from Mr Stephens before bed. 

We woke up early on Sunday and headed over to O'Lydias for a nummy brunch and then it was on to the airport. You screamed on the airplane "POOPY!" about 100 times until the seatbelt sign was turned off so we could head to the bathroom...where you didn't even have to go #2. Silly girl.

We were both excited to see Daddy and Norman when we arrived home!!

Love,
Mom
