Richfield Family Review: So Behind!

I am so behind in blogging, I don't even know where to begin! It's been a busy couple of weeks. I knew that the end of the month would be a bit crazy, but I had no idea that I wouldn't be blogging! It started last Sunday, well, really Saturday. Uncas was heading out of town for work (to Orlando, poor guy) and so my parents were planning on coming to stay with Eddie and I for part of that time. Due to weather in MN, they moved their travel plans up a day to come on Saturday night. Uncas departed without any problems on Sunday morning, but a couple of hours after he left, the snow started. It snowed and snowed and kept snowing all through Sunday and Monday! Thank goodness my parents were here to help with the shoveling! Actually - my mom pretty much did all the shoveling - both Uncas and I were so grateful!!! We were pretty much housebound for two for full days, which we weren't expecting, but it was fine. Eddie loved playing with them.

Finally we got out on Tuesday to do shopping and we went out to dinner. While my parents were here, I was busy getting ready to throw a baby shower for one of my close friends. My mom helped me out a lot with the prep and took care of Eddie, so I could shop and bake. Eddie and I LOVED having my parents here. We were sad to see them go on Wednesday afternoon.

Uncas came home on Thursday night and was home all day on Friday. That was huge because I was busy running around cleaning, baking and getting ready for the shower. Saturday was a long day for us. The shower started at 11, so we were all up early. Of course it started snowing and snowed all day long! But that didn't stop people from coming to the shower. It was a big success and I think my friend was pleased with how everything turned out.

Literally an hour after the last guest left, Uncas and I had just sat down from cleaning up and Grandma Nimz showed up. She was in the Cities for a workshop and agreed to spend the night and baby-sit, so we could actually go out. So, we changed, picked a movie and off we went to see The King's Speech. It was nice to get out, but we were home by 7 pm and in bed asleep by 9 pm. Fortunately Grandma got up with Eddie on Sunday, so we could sleep in until 8 am!

Sunday was spent as a family-fun day. We did no work around the house, but instead took Eddie to an indoor park and then out to lunch. In the afternoon we just played at home. It was so much fun!

I didn't take a lot of pictures over the past couple of weeks, but here are a few:
