Trip Update

Our little northern exposure experience is, sadly, almost at an end. The weather got better and I got better at dealing with it, so I wouldn't say that frozen feet and fingers are the memories I will have of this vacation.

After it got a little warmer, it got a lot warmer! 50 degrees! Seriously! It rained because it was so warm it couldn't snow! I am glad we came when we did, though, because the snow drifts were just amazing when we got here...piles and piles and more piles that Alex played and rolled and dug around in. It was so much fun (to watch, that is).

We also caught up with all the Wisconsin friends. We haven't been in WI since September 2006, so it's been over 2 years. Since so many of Dan's friends have little kids, there was a really big difference to see! We had seen so many little babies last time(and had a little baby of our own), and now there were all these little preschoolers running around, talking, playing games, laughing and enjoying each other. It was really great to see.
