Jordan-5 Months

The first weekend of October, Jake and I headed north to Duluth. Actually, we headed west to St. Cloud first, to pick up Katie and Jordan. Grandma Knutson was with, too. She drove us all. Katie had a college friend's wedding, and Matt was hunting, so my mom was originally going to go with her to watch Jordan while Katie was at the ceremony and reception. Joe had to work that weekend, so Jake and I tagged along. It was a weekend full of laughter! Here were the highlights:

• My dad's new car does NOT fit two pack and plays, a double stroller, and bags for 3 adults and two kids. Also, two car seats crowded the back seat. Katie and I each took our turn being squished.


• Trying to get above items in and out of the back end was quite the feat. I am sure any UMD student watching my mom and me in the parking lot had quite the show. We were a hot mess!


• My beloved London Road Perkins is not quite the same with a 2 year old who refuses to eat, or sit still.


• Jake figured out how to get out of the hotel room...twice! I think Grandma scared him to death the second time when he did it.


• After two trips, my mom knows that I like mayo on my Bony Billy sandwich from Erbert and Gerbert's.
  

I am sure there were many other moments of laughter. I remember my stomach hurting from laughing so much! We were able to walk a little bit in Canal Park. It was cold that weekend. Jake ended up sleeping during most of our walk, after having a meltdown when we first walked there. He woke up when we were in the car and wanted to see the big boats. Maybe next time, sweetie!
