Thankgiving in Grand Forks

This year we were able to spend Thankgiving with my family. I can't even remember the last time we were able to all be together. We all met at Beth and Mike's in Grand Forks.

Coat

My mother-in-law was nice enough to make me a winter coat for my expanding size. Isn't it beautiful?

Happy Halloween!

You know your dog needs to lose weight when he doesn't fit in last year's costume. Instead we just used it as a cape!

Stillwater

Today Jon's parents took us to Stillwater, where Jon's dad grew up. I'd never been there. It's a beautiful river town with lots of big old houses. We drove by Jon's grandparents old house (Jon was sad to see that the new owners had changed the color) and then walked around the shops downtown. We stopped into the Kathe Wolfarht store and Jon's parents got us a little gift, as German smoker which we tried out as soon as we got home.




















After some shopping we had lunch at the Freighthouse and watched the lift bridge go up and down and then walked down by the river.



























After lunch we stopped by the cemetary to see where Jon's grandparents are buried.

Catching Up

So I've been bad about blogging this summer, but I have a really good excuse. I haven't been feeling so hot basically all summer, but here is a recap of what we've been up to.

In July I went up north to Lake Superior for a girls weekend with my college friends. We stayed at a cute little cabin near Tofte.































































































































We also spent some time with Jon's high school friends this summer.
