Back In Minnesota

And our first stop was a week at the Leonard campground where I got some much needed Julia time. And while we were gone.....

Julia got a new bedroom which she was more than happy to show meShe has graduated from a crib to a toddler bed and loves it

And she loves to brush her teeth under Daddy's watchful eye. Although I am not sure which is more fun, brushing the teeth or climbing up on the stool to see in the mirror....
This little lady does not walk, she runs and runs
In fact she does everything at full speed
She not only knows the names of her friends at school: Macy, Beth, Bo, Lala (there are more I am sure) and her teacher Miss Gusy (spelling Len and Kel????)
But she knows her colors: red, purple, lellow (yep lellow) red and orange
And she can pick one item
And two items and sometimes free (yep free) and four
While we were there Gampa, Daddy and Julia worked on building skills
And cribbage skills.....Gampa is explaining the game to her and Julia is paying very close attention
Her and Gamma took a walk with Tackla and Peeko and she chatted the entire time: 'Tackla running' 'Peeko bark loud' were only a few of the phrases during the walk
Daddy teaching her the art of golf. Ry, they are practicing up to take you and Abs on this coming May.
It was a great week and I miss her and our other two gals terribly already! I do have to add that after we left Sedona Rachel sent me a text to tell me that Dezbah wanted to know when Gramma Bobbi was coming over and on another day Dezbah saw a bald guy and wondered if it was Poppa Dave :) Oh the joys of grand children.

Our northern home was just fine when we arrived, visited only by a mouse or two while we were gone. It is good to be home and know begins the planting season.
