Nana and Auntie Vanessa were visiting us this week, and did a great job of keeping Nora entertained for hours on end. They played together, read lots of books, went to the aquarium, and had fun talking to Papa on the webcam.
Early Saturday morning we all headed west, to the Pacific coast and the Quinault Rainforest. The trip turned out to be more of an adventure than any of us thought it would be. Nana was in crutches, and there was no electricity in the cabin until late Saturday night...which made for a chilly evening. We had a fire going in the fireplace (Nora's observation: "hot") and made some hot chocolate while we waited for the electricty to come back. Nora waddled around the living room in five layers of clothing and played hide-and-seek with me, having a great time dispite the circumstances. The electricity (and heat!) finally came on around 10:00 PM.
They headed back to Milwaukee yesterday, and today it's back to the routine (and electricity!) of our new home. The city is in a state of mourning after the Seahawks' loss!
