Jeff's Mom and Gram are visiting from Florida this week. We've had fun - journeying to camp, Glacier, and now, around home and town. We were so grateful that the weather was nice for our outdoor activities. We explored a new spot right outside Glacier. The route to Polebridge was a 15mi stretch of gravel rode to arrive at an eccentric little town with the most amazing bakery. Jeff and I are hoping to return one day for dinner at their restaurant (just not for our December anniversary - miles of gravel in snow and ice might not be too safe :). Sunday started a cold and rainy week. Kara put on a fashion show for the grandmas while the boys were at school. All the Ortlings enjoyed some time outside on their bikes with some gorgeous clouds in the sunset tonight.

More pictures of the family fun!

Back from Mississippi. We had a wonderful time with that side of the family! I had to put on almost all of the sweet Simon cuddles with Paw Paw - he started saying "pa - pa" while we were there!! The kids just loved playing with Forrest and Dakota. Kara adored the attention she got from Forrest - it was really cute! He made multiple paper airplanes with the Ortlings. The moment he finished folding they would all run outside and see how they flew. Dakota and Simon were a little young to play together, but they played much side by side. They even loved on each other a few times :)! I think both of their favorite things about Gran's hideout under the stairs was pulling the string that turned the light on and off ;)! Em's older brother was able to get back late Friday night, rest Saturday, and come hang out all day Sunday!! We had a big birthday feast for him that day. We're grateful that all Scott's tests came back okay. He's going to try to start eating better for cholesterol reasons and add a bit of aerobic exercise to his LARGE workout routine. Jeff's mom and grandmother arrive tomorrow to visit for a few days. We hope to have some special time with them in the midst of school and the growing lists of meetings and activities :)!
