Nine Years

Mama took a break this week.  This is the first week in over 3 years that I did not take one single photograph of the kids.  It feels a little weird.  I was mostly trying to enjoy every moment I had with the kids without worrying about capturing everything on my camera.  Mike and I also got away for the weekend.

This month we are celebrating 13 years as a couple and 9 years married.  We headed to Red Wing yesterday afternoon and had lunch at the St. James Hotel, hiked Barn Bluff, checked into the Candlelight Inn Bed & Breakfast, did a wine tasting at Falconers Vineyard, enjoyed the views of Lake Pepin in Lake City and had dinner on the water at Nosh.  Today we had a delightful breakfast, bought some Red Wing pottery and headed back to reality.

Reality is great when you're greeted by two little smiling faces and lots of hugs.  Thanks to both sets of grandparents for being the world's best babysitters.
