Minnesota, Here We Come

It's been 9 months since we left MN and now are making our first trip back.

Just wanted to look back and see what the kids looked like 9 months ago, comparing it with one of their recent shots together. Yeah... they look a little bit different. I'm laughing, though, because Naydine is still wearing those jammies and they are 18 month. She'll be 3 this August! haha... peanut!




I've also rented the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM from Rentglass.com. I'm pretty excited about it!! IT'S FREAKING HUGE, by the way! Put that thing on my little Rebel and I do a nose dive! But so far, SO COOL. Great in low light. Love it..... Plus, I love that wide angle. I don't think I'm ready to purchase this lens yet, but, I did want to see what it was all about.

We fly out Monday morning, early, so we'll have a full day on Monday. My grandpa passed away last week, so I missed seeing him. One of the reasons we were coming back to MN. The timing stunk on that one:( Here is a shot from him at his 80th Birthday party last August. We are all so grateful that we had this party! He was such a wonderful man!! I have so many fond memories of my grandpa, teaching me to play crazy eights and smelling like Old Spice...... aaahh.... I love him!

Maybe I'll be seeing some of you bloggers in MN!!!
