Home, Home on the Range










The Iron Range that is. We went up nort' Friday to visit some friends & see the Duluth Murrays. Friday night we surprised one of my friends from grad school at her 30th bday party. It was great to see Heather, Frank, the girls, and Lisa & Matt. We headed to Duluth that night and the Duluth cousins came to witness Emma's first swim that morning. It was so cute to see them all together! Emma's gotten so much more interactive with her world since Thanksgiving!

I had a chance to have some "me" time on Saturday, getting my toes pretty for the first time since before Emma was born and hanging out with Lisa. It was definitely recharging to get some pampering!!

Saturday night Steve and I got a glimpse into the future, watching the cousins while Jess & Sarah went to a party. Pete made himself almost invisible and got the low-key kid of the night award. Jess said later on that as much as you can count on one kid "messing things up," you can almost just as surely count on the fact that one will be super easy! The older two were definitely busy, but thankfully no one messed up the night and we had a great time! Steve's fun with Emma will grow exponentially the older she gets - he had such a great time playing with the big kids!

Sunday we relaxed at the hotel and took Emma back to the pool before connecting with the family again. It was a short visit, but really great to get together! We hope we can do it again soon!
