Back from vacation

We spent a whole week at the North Shore (northern part of Minnesota along Lake Superior) with my parents, sister, Aunt Jo, Uncle Rick and Aunt Jan. We had a great time. It is a beautiful place to visit. The weather was just perfect for hiking, kayaking and reading on the deck or just looking out onto the lake. Of course, Penelope was the biggest attraction of the vacation. In just one week she now holds her arms up when you say so big, claps a hand to her forehead if you say Oh, my!, sometimes does high fives and waves. Plus, she has added "Uh oh" to her vocabulary. I didn't take many pictures because my dad and aunt Jan were taking hundreds. I'll get some to put into my shutterfly album and put a link on here.

I'm so impressed you went to the ballet by yourself; that actually really inspires me to do the same. Every year, I have to BEG BEG BEG my sister, mom, godmother, mother-in-law, or a friend to see The Nutcracker with me. I mean, to me, it just ain't Christmas without seeing this. There have two years where no one wanted to pay the money to see it, so I ended up at home pouting. I had always been scared of being by myself during the intermission. Now, though, I think I can pledge that I will just go by myself even if no one else wants to. (Still, wish you lived in town so I could go with someone who really loves ballet! Hee hee!) :)
