Wow what a trip!

Last week went to Red Lake. We left Sunday night and got there around 11pm it was fun to surprise everyone (they were expecting us Monday) . When we got there we crept into the house and I stuck Emma in the kitchen, she just woke up from a nap so she just stood there, it was cute. Derek was facing the kitchen but he was wasn't focussing on Emma so it took a few second before it clicked that she was standing there and then he jumped up and it made everyone else look. It was fun to see their shock.
The rest of the week went by like a blurrrr!! Monday we enjoyed Thanksgiving with my family, it was sooo good to be home. Tuesday we threw Elise and Scotty a baby shower, that went okay I guess. Its been a while since I threw something for someone else, I felt a bit out of practice. It was good to see Iris, Jenni, Wendy and Kendra, sure wished I could have visited some with each of them. Wednesday afternoon we went to Miller's to Visit Linda and the boys. I always enjoy hanging out there and watching the kids play. We went from there to Nisly's to visit Rhonda and the girls. It was fun to see them and meet them a little better. It was snowing so the girls played outside, Rhonda and I were able to get some visiting in, that was nice. Matthew made it home about 20 minutes before we left at least we got to say hello. Thursday was our last visiting day and we were able to go to see Becky and her chiln's. Before we went visitng we stopped in at Jeff and Wendy's new place, I got a quick tour, it was really nice to see their progress. Elise and little scotty came with and that was nice to be together, share some stories, and laugh alittle. Most of the evenings we stayed home and Emma had a nice visit with her gookum (grandma) and grandpa Mike. Emma also like to visit with Great-grandpa, she would go into his room, close the door and then you could hear her talking very loudly to him, it was cute, but we had to rescue him some times. She would hold her arms out to him for him to pick her up and she would just sit soo nicely in his lap, what a sweetheart!! I brought my mother-in-law Becky along she was a big help not only to me and Emma but everyone we visited. I was very glad she came along. We got a couple good scrabble games in that is always fun. The weather was a big shocker and I'm glad that I came prepared for whatever weather. It was colllldddd!!! Snowing and felt like and looked like winter. Yuck.
We left Friday morning, and made it to Kenora, we went to HO-HO's for lunch (very good Chinese Food) and tried to keep going. When we got out west of Kenora we realized that the highway going west was closed due to a 3 semi pile up. So we had to decide what to do, we ended up staying at a hotel for the night. That night we even got a visit in with Debbie Ropp, that was really nice. The next morning was beautiful, and we had a nice travel home. Ryan is finished with driving beet truck, so it was nice to have him home when we got here. It was a really special week, my little nephew is sooo cute, how special it was to hold him and see him.
On two different days there we realized that Emma had gotten two more teeth, we are up to 9 now.
This week looks like a alot of laundry and unpacking, sound like fun?? Anyone want to come and visit? I'd love for you to drop in for some coffee :) Maybe some day :)
