Recently

Two weekends ago, we packed up the Element and headed to Iowa for our nieces' high school graduation parties. We really enjoyed ourselves, seeing everyone we were able to see. Unfortunately, Helen came down with strep throat on Sat/Sun. After having spent the whole night Saturday taking turns holding her while she cried, we made our second trip to Urgent Care Sunday. We'd been there on Saturday but we were too soon and so the strep test had showed a false negative. After that terrible night, we knew we had to have her checked out again and sure enough. Poor thing. The Urgent Care doc let us know that Helen was contagious at that point so we made the difficult decision to head back to the Twin Cities and doing so, we had to miss Brittny's doin's. We were so bummed! Thankfully, we stayed at the farm packing up our things long enough that we missed the devastating tornado that went through the area.


Huge CONGRATS to Chelsea and Brittny - we're so proud!

Helen looks great in purple!

We have enjoyed that play area very much too!
