We left Indio on the morning of Mitch's birthday. Caryn taught Brayden "Happy Birthday to Grampa". Check it out at braydenandus.blogspot.com.We arrived in Minnesota late and woke up to snow. Beautiful (for a day)!
Our other greeting was Addy--we were looking forward to that one!
Then off to "up north" deer hunting. Bryan actually shot this six pointer, but Jim and Mitch had to clean it!
Back in the cities Bryan and Stacy came over to make wild rice soup--a lot of it-- 13 pheasants worth! The soup was wonderful!
Every day we took Addy to the hospital to "play" with Mommy. Sarah is now 30 weeks along in her pregnancy and she and the baby are doing well. They still have four weeks to go before the little one is born. That is a long hospital stay for that family! Say a little prayer for them.
Addy, however, is a charmer, and we had a ball with her. She loved making "tall towers" with Grampa.
She is also a little character. After telling Kaiser the dog to move, she sat down on his bed. When I asked her what Mommy would say about being on the hairy bed, she said, "No no!"She also loves to color and will carry one crayon around saying "paper only" before she slyly makes her mark on whatever is close. I love those washable crayons!
Addy is very verbal and has a great vocabulary for an 18 month old. Since Mommy has been in the hospital Addy has gotten to watch TV (football) with Daddy. Play the video to see what he has taught her.
It was a busy 12 days in Minnesota and we loved seeing our family and friends! We are now back in Indio being busy in a different way!
