MN visit and misc

I'm a little behind on posting pictures, so you're forewarned, there are lots of photos (and one video that might not some through quite right). We got back Tuesday evening from visiting my friends and family in Minnesota. The weather was fantastic, in the mid to upper 70s and sunny the entire trip. It was a nice break from the hot, humid weather here in Houston. I think we bring warm weather to MN when we go, when we went in Oct. it was warm as well. We are hoping to go back at Christmas, but that will all depend on airfare.

We had a great visit, although it was jam-packed as usual. We stopped to visit Beth and her three kids when we got in on Friday. She's the best!! Her youngest is exactly a year older than Lila so she lends us clothes for Lila each time we go. Then once Lila's outgrown them we return them back to her so she can pass them on to other friends who have babies. She has saved us hundreds of dollars!

On Saturday we stopped to see Shannon and Joe and kids at their house and then Roman dropped Lila and I off at Michelle's baby shower. It was a beautiful day and the shower was outside by the pool at a family friend's house. She got really awesome gifts for baby Elliott! After the baby shower we saw some of my dad's side of the family at his house. My Uncle Pat and Aunt Ann brought their two cocker spaniels over and Lila got a kick out of them. They are really cute and do fun tricks.

Monday we had lunch with Dick and saw some friends that evening. All-in-all travelling with Lila wasn't too bad. She's in a stranger anxiety phase, so she was fussier than normal, but otherwise I think she did alright.


The neighbors were going to throw out this little play set, so we took it for Lila. She loves to climb up the ladder and go down the slide. It's so hot during the day that we can only go out in the evening to play (hence her being in her diaper).

Grandpa Terry and Lila


She loved the laundry basket. She was having a great time being pushed around in it, until she saw Grandpa Terry eating some food. She wasn't so interested anymore hence the somber look on her face in the video below.
