Grandpa Melby - The last true Norwegian
Last night we received a call from Mark's parents. Although we knew that Marks grandpa has been ill on and off, we had no idea how sick he had gotten. 
Upon going into the hospital for what seemed like a UTI, they discovered that the last round of chemo did not work and his lymphoma has spread. There's a real possibility that he won't be with us in the next month or so.
Please be praying for marks family as this news settles. Also pray for the most comfort possible for his grandpa.
It's such a crappy thing to happen to such a wonderful man.
This picture was taken in November when he treated us to ice cream.
Our boys enjoy listening to his stories in his thick Norwegian accent.

This is what it looks like when you have 4 brothers eagerly anticipating your first steps.
Ice skating
Although it was extremely slushy, the boys enjoyed their first ice skating experience immensely.

Holey Moley Doughnuts - A Gluten-Free Review
One of my favorite places to go downtown was the Milwaukee Cupcake Company. That always had a huge selection of GF cupcakes that were fancy and unique, and came in a pretty box...
So, when I heard they has gone out of business, I was sad. I then discovered that their space had been filled by a doughnut shop, and after some research I discovered that they make...wait for it...GF DOUGHNUTS!!
The weight of this discovery won't mean much to you if you eat gluten. But, since giving it up in 2012, I've frequently dreamt of the fried cakey goodness.
I recently got a chance to sample their goods. First of all, the workers are amazing! Super nice, and really excited to tell me about the doughnuts, and even sample before buying. What!?!
I got a box of the "Baby-spice" and they were out of this world! Seriously!
The texture, weight, and moisture were perfect. They didn't fall apart. Most importantly though, the flavor was wonderful!
Mark, who has had real doughnuts more recently, said they were as good as the cider doughnuts that we get around apple picking season. That good.
Their flavors change daily, and there isn't a boring option on the menu.
I have nothing negative to say.
GF or not, you have to give them a try.
