Just an update

I'm having technical difficulties with Shutterfly right now. I got a new laptop so I could take advantage of my dad's wireless network. And well, the shutterfly plugin that allows me to add tons of pictures at once is not suitable for the laptop's processor. They haven't created a plugin that works with it yet. :-( So unfortunately I can't upload our latest pictures. Andrew will be bringing our old computer with him when he arrives in MN next weekend so hopefully I'll be able to get new pictures up then.

We had a very fun time at Claire's wedding. Ella & Lily stopped by the reception for a little while and were pretty well behaved. My mom got her perfect Christmas card picture (which is why we are so coordinated!) and so did we. We figured why not, since we were all dressed up anyway. I've known Claire since sixth grade as well as Erin and Allison (also in the this picture). Allison was a bridesmaid and Erin and I were greeters and handed out programs at the church. Claire and her new husband Jeff really had a nice wedding and are perfect for each other! Congratulations Claire & Jeff! We hope we get to hang out with them more often now that we are in MN.

We had a nice first week here. We tried out some new parks, the Barnes and Noble storytime, and of course Target. We've also taken advantage of all the walking paths around here! Although we did lose Bear (Lily's lovey) on one of the walks and I panicked for a few minutes. But whew, we found him, thankfully. We played in the leaves with Grandpa on Saturday. And one of Lily's favorite pasttimes these days is playing in the kitty bed. She LOVES it! I'm thinking may need to buy her own. Poor Gracie the cat hasn't slept in there since we arrived!

Up next week, decorating the front yard for Halloween, Toddler Tuesday at the Mall of America, a visit to Great-Grandma Betty's, and more random fun! And best of all the return of Andrew next weekend! Yeah!
