m-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i

An apology to all those out there who have been eagerly awaiting an update on our recent trip to Itasca Stake Park, headwaters of the Mississippi. It's been busy around here. Kaylee is doing so many wonderful, adorable things, it's hard to keep up!
But first, our trip. It was a lot of fun, we had great weather - but then most of the people reading this were there so you know already. Kaylee did really well at the cabin, sleeping in a pack-n-play. She would wake up early in the morning and I'd take her down to the lodge where I could sit and drink some coffee in front of the fireplace and Kaylee could have fun playing on the oversized whicker furniture. She soon made a new friend. Dominic, who turned 1 during our stay, was also an early riser and his grandpa seemed to have the same idea as me. Dominic, who is reported to be extremely outgoing and the life of the party would always get quiet and shy around Kaylee. Could there be some chemistry there? Just kidding! He is certainly a cutie. His family goes to Itasca every year and us mom's exchanged emails so if we're ever there at the same time again, we can meet up.
Well, I plan to attach some pictures, but I haven't asked permission from my family members to put their picture on the site here, so I will just include those of our immediate family... with one exception that just has to go on there... yeah, I'm talking about you Tom... Timmy... Jimmy... Frakiye!! Have another pot of coffee!

Obviously not a morning person, here!

Swimming - Kaylee loves the water! (and the rocks - yum!!)
