Kennet's parents Susanna and Poul came for a visit this past weekend. Elsa likes to call them Nona (Italian for Grandma) and Far Far (Danish for Father's Father). We had a great weekend! Kennet and I both took Friday off to make it a longer weekend and really enjoyed the visit! We started the weekend at one of our favorite places, Rockwood Bakery for coffee and pastry. We took Elsa for a set of professional pictures on Friday that turned out pretty adorable in our opinions! We also took in Barrister Winery in Spokane (we highly recommend it) and a great gourmet cheese shop. Kennet cooked a fabulous dinner for all of us that night. Saturday was touring around Spokane a little as well as a beautiful walk through Riverfront Park and taking in the falls of the Spokane River downtown. We spent a lot of time catching up, taking pictures, and playing with Elsa! It was a relaxing weekend and we really enjoyed it! Thanks Poul and Susanna for the books, blocks, and train for Elsa! Enjoy the photos!!

Let's play!

So I guess I don't really have any special reason to update the blog other than these pictures are pretty darn cute, especially the one of yours truely...grrrr. Things around here have been progressing nicely. Betsy started golf league last night and Elsa and I have begun our "daddy daughter Tuesdays". The first one went swimmingly. We seem to both enjoy The Simpsons; Elsa for it's sarcastic view of traditional Americana and me, well I like the pretty colors and shapes.

Strike a pose, supermodel style

Dad doing some minor construction

Where's the grub?! Bring on the mushed carrots...yummy!

Stacking away.

Daddy thinks this one is just cute.

Mmmmmm.

PS. I can't wait to see you next week Nona and Far Far!!!
