welcoming.

what a delight it was to welcome our dear friend, lr, to our homestate this weekend. she & i got to explore the twin cities together (i still hadn't played tourist there yet, even after 4yrs of living in MN!), then i brought her home to show off our beloved duluth and spend lots of unhurried time playing & catching up. thanks so much for making the trip out, friend! it was a real treat to have you here. :) (also, a sidenote -- kj was finally big enough to ride the timber twister down the mountain! she has been waiting for that for a long time & totally loved it. that's my roller coaster girl! :))
