Sweet sisters

The girls shared a bed at grandma's house. It was always funny to see how they would be sleeping when we checked on them. This night, Amelia was off the mattress and on the floor. Gemma is spread out taking up more than her fair share of the bed.

Monkey bar attempt #2

Wobbly park

Another grand forks staple is wobbly park. I named it this when I was a toddler due to the wobbly nature of the swings there.

It is just a short walk from Great Grandma Gerry's house and the kids enjoy the opportunity to run and play.

La Capana

I don't know how authentic a Mexican restaurant can be in North Dakota, but it is one of our family's favorite stops! I have been eating there with my family on most visits since I can remember.

We were lucky enough to go with great grandma Gerry twice in the three days we were visiting.

A milestone occurred this weekend: William shared a burrito with me. He has been eating the chips and salsa since he was a toddler, but he Usually he orders food from the kids' menu. This is the first time he has ordered something a little more adventurous! Way to go William!

The girls aren't as big of a fan as William is....maybe when they get older?

It's the little things

Sometimes, I look at these three and I can't quite believe they are all mine. Well, and John's too. They are so big and turning into their own people, but they still seek each other out and love to be together. Not all the time, but they really do love each other. Sometimes it strikes you and it is a sweet moment. That was one of those little moments.


Also, I can't ever get over how flat it is in North Dakota.

Underdog

William gives Gemma and under dog.

I ask her if she is scared. She replies, "nope." (Quietly as she turns her head away).

William hops on for a ride on the back of the swing.

These 3 kids have a lot of digging to do!
