Cutest baby Contest

We entered a picture of Dakota in the baby contest at the fair and she won! She got the first prize, a $200 savings bond, there was a second and third place but we haven't been over to see the results yet. Okay she didn't win because of her looks, they drew names and they drew her name. That was a nice surprise.

Okay, I'll blog!

Not that anyone is asking for an update, but I'll give one anyway.

We had a fun time down in Wisconsin, visiting family and more family. We got to stay at a hotel with a curfew. I'll tell you about this...it was kind of funny, but we came back to the hotel and put the girls to bed and a few of us (family) were going to visit in the lobby for a bit. They had turned off the lights and we asked if they could turn them on for a little bit. The owner looks at us and says, "its 11 o'clock everyone has gone to bed." We looked at him like he couldn't be serious but he was, so there we sat in the dark visiting. I've never stayed at a hotel with a curfew before. Besides that it was good to see everyone again. We stayed at Merrilee's place downtown Minneapolis on Friday night, that was fun to see. She had a sweet place there. Sat. am we went to the reunion, it was a little over an hour a way. We played games, drank coffee, watched the kids play, ate some delicious meals, laughed, visited some more, it was well worth the trip.

Lately we've been home at our apartment just hanging out. We've been eating store bought blueberries, and I'm starting to forget what bush blueberries taste like, guess I'll have to go home and pick some (I wish).

The girls are growing up, its fun to see progress. Ryan was getting Emma ready for her shower and was attempting to take out one of her ponytails, it was a bit of a struggle, and it pulled some of her hair. Emma puts her hand on her dads arm, (getting his attention), then points to her hair, and says "no". It was cute, like she didn't want him to do that anymore. we had a good laugh at her.

Dakota is starting to teeth, hand are in her mouth alot and she's starting to drool. She likes to talk and loves to stand up. She's a sweet girl!

As for Ryan and I were doing ok. We've been taking walks almost every evening , its been nice to chat and dream together. Although it has made me wish that I had a jogger stroller for easier pushing. Maybe one of these days I'll get one. We still would like to move back to Roseau and continue to think of how we can work that out. We'd like prayer for that.

So that's all for now. I hope to make it to Red Lake some time this summer, but I'm not sure when yet.

I'll post more pitures one of these days.

Ta-ta for now. Mel
