Ugh, back at work again. I caught a cold somewhere, so don't feel the best. Whee.

We had a very nice time in Minot visiting Grandpa and Grandma. The kids enjoyed their visit, and all the toys Grandpa had gotten. Had a nice visit Friday night too with Joan and Glenn and Grandma. All went much too fast though.

Kids did good on the way home. Watched some videos. We stopped at that little rest area by Sykeston, where John liked pushing the buttons that opened the handicap doors. We stopped in Fargo at that McDonald's playland again. Then, we stopped at a rest stop by St. Cloud to stretch our legs. Hanna got fussy around her nap time, but she fell asleep for about an hour. Then, after our stop by St. Cloud she fell asleep again for another hour. John finally fell asleep too about an hour from home. I had to wake him up. He was a little out of whack, but he had a snack and woke up again and played a bit, but was ready for bed too.

When we came in the door, the first thing Hanna said was "Ellie!" She missed her doggie and wanted to pet her. Hanna sat down once in the middle of the kitchen floor and was saying "doggie" in a commanding voice. She wanted Ellie to come over so she could pet her. She got a little frustrated when Ellie wouldn't come over. (Ellie hasn't learned to understand Hanna-ese yet) so I had Ellie come over so Hanna could poke and pet her.

Twins got whupped by the Yankees. Oh well. They need some better hitters, maybe a dominating pitcher or two. It'll help to have Milton back next year.
