Casstiel, with his banana split breakfast.

“My son Casstiel loves fruit,” Green Bay East universal banker Kari Tuyls says. “So I decided to change up our breakfast routine and try something fun I found on Facebook. Who wouldn’t love a banana split for breakfast? It’s filled with Greek yogurt, and we chose to use strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and granola for our toppings!”

VP commercial banking Michael Krause has a new tradition working from home. “Every morning before firing up the computer, the ‘home’ team begins the day with a lively version of ‘America the Beautiful,’” he says.

Yes, she is very spoiled.”
