MIA

Why hello. I'm a terrible blogger. This poor little blog has been so neglected. It's not even because of a lack of what to write about. Greta and I have been super busy the last few months with our little jaunts around town but I feel like at the end of the day I'm either exhausted from the pregnancy, wrangling a toddler all day, or trying to catch up on my other work from home job obligations. I uploaded these pictures from a few months ago and then never finished blogging about them so maybe I'll start there...

For the last few years, my grandparents from Iowa along with a few of my grandma's siblings and other extended relatives travel to Rogers, MN and all congregate at the Hampton Inn there for 2 nights/3 days. We start the first night with a potluck. It's fun to catch up with everyone and we always have a great time. Greta did really well entertaining herself at the hotel and wasn't too crabby considering the later than usual bedtime.

The baby stroller and baby provided hours of entertainment.

Here are a few pictures from last year's get-together.

We've also taken a few trips to the MN Children's Museum the last few months.

We were enrolled in a few classes over the last semester. One of the classes was in the evening so Chad was able to join us. Here's Greta getting a ride during the 'gym time' portion at the beginning of the class.

We've had such a mild winter that we've taken lots of strolls outside. Rather than ride in the stroller, Greta loves to walk around our circle.

Another Children's Museum trip with our friends Ari and Cora...

Greta loved the hand dryer.

Playing with the water and bubbles.

She's obsessed with washing her hands so this was right up her alley.

Hugs for her friend, Cora.

Shortly before Halloween, Greta and I took a trip to a nearby pumpkin farm. She ended up being a little scared of the pumpkins and this is about as close of a picture as I could get.

I've had so much fun with this little girl and am so blessed to be able to stay home with her and enjoy all these fun adventures.
