Minneapolis Trip and Big News!!

This past week we went to Minneapolis to visit Audrey and Dave. We had such an amazing time. It's always so fun to see family and now that we have a baby, it makes it that much more exciting to see them...

Stella ready to go on a run around one of the lakes in Minneapolis - it was cold!

Just hangin' around the house...

On Friday we went to an apple orchard and picked a peck of apples. It was beautiful, although it's definitely already getting cold there!

On Saturday, Stella saw her first snow. It was very light and gone by the time we went outside, but still it snowed! Brrrr... We also went to the Mall of America, which is always a must see. We only made it around the mall once (on one of the 4 levels) in a 2.5 hour period- yikes! That mall is huge.

On Sunday, Stella went for her first swim with daddy, Aunt Audrey and Uncle Dave. She loved it, it looks like we're going to have a little water baby on our hands :)

Thanks Aud and Dave for having us, we love you guys and miss you already!

OH AND FOR THE BIG NEWS...
While we were out, we received an offer on our house and accepted! We were pleasantly surprised since we were planning on it taking 6 mos to sell. Now we have to find a place to rent somewhere near Mike's work. He's sick of the 1 hour + commute each way, and I don't blame him. It will be nice though, it's in a beautiful area referred to here as the "Main Line" and it's in the suburbs. We're excited to move on and have a place where we can let Morris out so he can play without having to leash him up and take him down 3 flights of stairs. We're also looking forward to the extras you get when out of the city (a fireplace, a deck with a grill, a driveway or garage - not a block away...etc). We are supposed to close on November 13, which means we have a lot to do and very little time to do it :) Very exciting!
