This past weekend, Ben and I were in a wedding up in Minneapolis. The bride and groom (Luke and Melissa) are friends of ours from our church here in Mankato. They were in our wedding as well 2 1/2 years ago. It was a fun-filled weekend. We were able to see a lot of our college friends that we no longer get to see very often due to careers, distance and babies. The weather was nice, the ceremony was beautiful and the food was delicious. A great time was had by all! Peter was up in East Grand Forks with Grandpa Punky and Grandma Berta. He did really well with them this past week, except he got a little crabby at times because he is working on pushing some teeth out. They handled it like pros though and kept him comfortable. They drove to St. Cloud yesterday (Sunday) and we met them after the gift opening to get Peter. He was excited to see us, but he definitely showed his attachment to Grandpa and Grandma. :) When we got back to our house in Mankato, Peter ran around a lot to check things out. He loved being back in his room. He ran from his room to the living room a whole bunch of times out of excitement. He played with a lot of his toys that he hasn't seen in over 2 weeks! (As you can see, he loves his Mr. Potato Head glasses) It was nice to get some normalcy back into our lives after returning home. And today we are back to the grind, ready to finally start the New Year! Tomorrow (Tuesday) Peter has surgery to get tubes placed in his ears to help his recurring ear infections and hearing issues. We are a little nervous, yet excited to get over this hurdle so that he starts feeling better and is able to communicate with us better. Keep him in your prayers. I'll try to post again later in the week after surgery. Bye for now!
