i must say, it is much too cold in nd. i realize that i was there during the coldest week of this winter season, but it was ridiculous! i don't think it was above 10 degrees when i was there, except for of course the day we left! ha! anyways, enough complaining. we hopped off the train around midnight over here and it was 56 degrees, so really i should get over it.
here are some of the highlights from our trip back up north:
 |
| the only time we spent more than 5 minutes outside was to play with dax or shovel (of course, i was only outside long enough to take a couple shots & shuffle back inside!) |
 |
| i don't think andrew realized how much he missed his pup until this moment! |
.
 |
| hanging out with mama e. |
 |
| visiting with g & g g. with dave |
diane was nice enough to host a gathering at her house to catch-up with some close family -- so we wouldn't have to coordinate visits to everyone's houses. it was much appreciated!
 |
| i only brought out the camera once to catch some great grandparent action. |
 |
| so cute! |
 |
| a and dad trying to program the fireplace remote. (unsuccessfully.) |
 |
| we made a quick trip out to des lacs to visit with g & g e and aunt carmen, along with emily & spencer. |
 |
| a celebrated his birthday on saturday, so of course we had a quick gift opening -- look at the cute packaging diane created! |
 |
| justin & natalie f. were around the whole weekend with us -- if only they would come to ca and be our double-date partners... |
 |
| cousin brian s. was skiing in denver & happened to be flying out as we were transferring flights, so we were able to grab dinner & catch-up. |
 |
| again, if only he would move to ca we would have more fun! |
great trip, but glad to be back in ca. can i just say that they are mowing the lawn outside our building? ha!
thanks all!
