Weekend Away

This past weekend we were given the gift of attending a marriage conference "A Weekend to Remember" in Minneapolis...Andre's mom came up from Nebraska to babysit the kids and we thoroughly enjoyed our first weekend without kids since before Sierra was born! The conference was great with entertaining speakers and discussion springboards, plus we got to eat out a couple times (Greek food and Italian food) and do a little shopping.

Date night at Macroni Grill (one of Andre's favorites), then on to Ikea for some shopping.

Farmor with her cherubs (and Moninga the dog). Both kids did great while we were gone--Ethan took the bottle like champ thankfully, and Sierra had a new face to play with! HUGE thank you to Mamma for driving all the way up here to watch the kids!!

WHat a HUGE blessing it was for me too. Sierra minded so well, was hilarious many times over, and oh so cute - when I said "Sierra, I love you" she said "I love you too, Farmor!" Treasure nuggets for me to hang on to when I live so far away in Nebraska and miss these wonderful cherubs. They are the BEST!!!! And Ethan flapping his little wing-arms when I came to pick him up from his naps - just like those snow angels we used to make. How very cute!!!! I love LOVE my GRANDkids. :) Thanks so much Krista and Andre for entrusting them to me for the whole weekend. And we were so glad you were able to get away and attend that conference. You are loved - lots and lots!!!
