Elliott and I celebrated our 9th anniversary this past week! My mom insisted back in September that she and Papa wanted to take Emma for 2 whole days (!) so we could recharge our batteries!!! So Wednesday we dropped Emma off at Grandma and Papa Loerch's, and Cooper off at the kennel:) We had a tasty lunch at J. Doolittles, then drove through Stillwater along the St. Croix River, and arrived at our Bed and Breakfast at the St.Croix River Inn. We had a lovely view of the river and fall leaves, a hot tub, fireplace, robes, and 8pm hot cocoa and cookies!!! www.stcroixriverinn.com We had stopped and rented about 8 movies (!!!!) because we wanted to do absolutely NOTHING! We had such a relaxing night, and I had a great morning... Coffee w/ warmed mugs and a fresh blueberry muffin, and breakfast in the room to follow. The snow was lightly falling when I woke - so I was pleased! We left about 11am and enjoyed the beautiful drive home. We got Cooper, and couldn't help but look for a little something to give Emma (we both, and Elliott especially, wanted to go get Emma Thursday morning!!!). SO - thanks Papa and Grandma Loerch for a great two days of quiet!!!
Here is what Elliott chose for Emma - a Leapfrog Reading Pad! It lasted for about 10 minutes, but will get better as she gets older:) It did make us excited for Christmas to watch her open it. She takes her time and slowly peaks into the bag!

Grandma Loerch and Emma made Kitty Cat Cup-Cakes! Emma spent a good 15 minutes straight picking out all of the yellow Reese's Pieces for them to use!!!Love to all...
