Happy New Year!

We're having some nice family time this year. Sam's brother and sister-in-law came to visit for the first 4 days of the year, and now we're in Minneapolis visiting his whole family, and when we get back, my family is going to come visit for my dad's birthday. It's so great to see everyone!

On my last day at work before I started my leave, my coworker had surprise organized a cake and cupcakes to send me off! It was really nice! Here I am with the cake:

Meredith and Julia visited! (separately)

Here are some pictures from their visits. We went out for Indian food:



Meredith made waffles and Sam made fruit for our fancy breakfast. It's possible that I got the orange juice out of the fridge, although I can't remember for sure:

Our last pre-baby visit to Minneapolis

A little more than a month ago, we went to visit Sam's family in Minneapolis. It was really fun! They never take enough pictures, so I always try to take a bunch when we're there. Here are some of them.

I love Sam's face in this one:


A bit of canoeing on the lake:


Some flowers from Grandmom's garden:




Her composting project:


We went on a walk around the lake, and there had been a lot of rain and flooding, so this bench was an island and Jerry climbed out to it:


Some friendly Minnesota teenagers took a picture of us when we stopped for a break on our walk:


Can you tell where I put the camera for this picture?


The main reason we went was to see Louise's art in her art show. It's inspired by our baby, and we get to have it to put in his room! Here we are seeing it displayed in the gallery:


She also wrote a poem to go with it, posted on the wall below to the right:


And of course a visit to Minneapolis in nice weather wouldn't be complete without a trip to Yogurt Lab:
