i've been in Wisconsin for nearly two weeks now. i came here because my sister got in a car accident and needed some help with her kids.

she broke her pelvis in a bunch of places and also her collarbone. she is doing really well, considering.. hobbling around pretty fast on her walker and stuff.

anyway, i stayed there a couple of nights, then came here to kamille's for the weekend, then back to kelli's for four days and back here for the weekend.

it was an unplanned trip and i really would have preferred not to come home.. i have stuff going on at home and i hate leaving my babies and it's fucking december! but it was definitely nice to get to see my family a little. make the best of it, you know. and macy's birthday party was yesterday, so it was nice to finally make one of those - she had three before this that i missed! overall, though, i think this trip has cemented why it's a good thing i live 1500 miles from here... i'll just leave it at that.

this is my niece kalia:

this is what she looked like the LAST time i saw her:

i also met my sister's dog, sofia:

she was a puppy mill breeder before she was rescued and adopted by my sister. she's adooooorable.

i have other pics but they're uploading now, sooooo.... lata!
