2007: A Minnesota Odyssey

There has been quite a bit of excitement around here over the past week. It started off with a trip to the Wisconsin Dells. We spent three days over there with our small group just hanging out and enjoying the indoor water parks. Norah did amazingly well for her first time. She was always a bit hesitant for the first hour or so each day, but then she really warmed up to the water. When we were at the wave pool, she actually started walking toward the deep end. If I wasn't holding her hands she probably would have walked until the water was over her head!

The other big news is that I sold out and got a mini-van. We started looking back in September when we found out we were pregnant. So even though we won't be adding kid #2 this summer like we expected, we still went ahead and got one. We sold Jamie's Jetta to a guy from St. Joseph, MO last Saturday a week ago. So we were down to one car for a week, but this past Friday we headed up to the Cities and picked up a 2007 Honda Odyssey. Jamie is definitely big pimpin' in the new ride.

She absolutely loves brushing her own teeth.
