Back to Work Update
I’ve been back to work now for 3 weeks. It’s going so much better than I expected. The first day was the worst. I was in denial up until the point where I had to turn the doorknob. When I turned the doorknob, I started crying. Jude was sitting on Andy’s lap on the steps. …
Another Trip to Fargo
Since Andy and I have one overlapping week of parental leave, we decided to spend a long weekend in Fargo. We’re heading up tomorrow morning. I think that this trip to Fargo will go a lot smoother than the only other trip we’ve made there with Jude. I’ll do the usual and sit in the …
Return to Work
In 10 days, I will be returning to work full-time. I know that going back to work is going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I hope they don’t work me so hard that I can’t at least spend evenings and weekends with Jude. I’ve had the best time of my …

We added more pictures of Jude to our online photo album. Check out family album #4.

His latest tricks include the following: Grabbing Andy’s pointer finger, shoving it in his mouth (nail against roof of his mouth) and chomping on it. Laughing when he saw our friend’s 6 week old girl face-to-face. Sleeping for longer stretches, mostly in …
Weekend in Moorhead
After Katie had her baby Tuesday morning, I was looking forward to the weekend maybe more than I had ever looked forward to a weekend in my life. I just couldn’t hardly wait to see Katie and my new nephew. The trip to Moorhead was a lot longer than normal. It normally takes us 3.5 …

I’m an Aunt!
I answered the cell phone under my pillow at 6:15 a.m. to learn that my sister had finally had her baby. Katie was induced yesterday at about 1 p.m. She was not progressing so they finally did a C-section this morning. Ivan John Reindl was born at 5:11 a.m. He weighed in at 8 pounds …
