Isn't It Spring Yet?!

Old pictures of my dad and my uncle, scanned in during our family gathering for Grandma B's funeral (Calista Bechthold Sullivan, November 10, 1914 - February 6, 2009). Estelle had a great time with her second cousing Bennett and wants to spend more time in Tonka in the future (that's Minnetonka :) for those of you who don't know the lingo).

On the night flight home we gave the guys our upgrade - seats in First Class ... in reality we probably had more space in the back because there wasn't anyone sitting next to us. George got the cool hat (ala Ryan Evans from HSM) at American Eagle in the Mall of America. Good thing we didn't have more time to spend there or we would have gone broke!





Ottawa Park skating skills are improving.


Pinewood Derby - 2nd place for design!



Estelle's birthday trip with Becca and Reagan to Chicago... E doesn't look too perky because she was actually sick, but she was concerned she wouldn't ruin the trip for everyone, so we still made it to brunch at American Girl Place. Our bedraggled crew included recently hospitalized and bereaved moms, so even though Estelle was sick it was still a nice getaway. Sunday Estelle was recovered enough to make it to shop at Water Tower Place.



The weather keeps being undecided here ... it was over 50 degrees this morning and it was snowing a few minutes ago. We will keep thinking spring!
