A staycation and a birthday girl.

Its been weeks since my last blog entry. I don't even have a good excuse for my absence, life has been busy. But not nearly as busy as Greta is. Oh my goodness, I don't remember Sully ever being as busy as she is. She is nonstop. She looks here and there, climbs this and that while antagonizing Sully, who usually gets the blame for it. She is sweet and smiley, but gosh does she keep me on my toes.

Sully is his mild mannered self. He is the sweetest little boy who definitely pushes the limits. I can't believe he will be three in two months, and...he has mastered potty training! We are so proud of him. He is in undies full time except during his nap and at bedtime. This was honestly not part of my plan, I originally thought we would do it this summer, after he was three. Apparently he showed me who was in charge ;).

Dave was on vacation this last week and we spent it mostly in Sioux Falls, although the two of us were able to get away to Minneapolis for one night. We had originally planned to look at some things for the house project, but those things fell through. We went anyway and had dinner with Leanne and her family. It was great to see them. The kids had a great time back home with Courtney. Otherwise we took it easy, Dave had his share of Mr. Mom duties and is ready to get back to work tomorrow.

Yesterday was my 35th birthday (and was also week 4 of 10 in my parents' house). We had a very mellow day which included a trip to the fitness center, naps, and take out. It was perfect. We had brunch with Dave's family this morning and will celebrate with my family when Maggie and her family gets back to town (next week).

All in all, life is good. Enjoy some photos below.
