Back to MN

After a wonderful trip home, we are back in MN. It was hard to leave TN, but somebody missed their daddy and I missed my hubby! Here are some pics from our last week of being home.

Enjoy!

of course we had orange on to support Pat Summitt!

Ansley got her 1st haircut while we were home!

Reading Ansley their fav book....Llama Llama Red Pajama

It was bittersweet leaving TN, but we were ready to see daddy! Ansley did great on the flights back. She slept the majority of the way from Knoxville to Memphis. She was woken up by some turbulence...it was a little bit bumpy before landing, but not too bad. If you know me, you know I like to keep my feet on the ground so even just a little bump makes me nervous! :) From Memphis to Minneapolis, Ansley stayed awake the whole flight. She did great though, she was the only child on the plane, so she entertained everybody! Once we landed, Lance was there waiting and Ansley was sooo happy to see her daddy! We left immediately from the airport to head up further north to Two Harbors, outside of Duluth, for the long Labor day weekend. Here is a sneak peak....

We had a great trip, but more on that later!

Continue to pray for us and our adventure!

We love and miss you guys!

TN....Home Sweet Home

Ansley did great on her first plane ride ever! I was very nervous about flying with her, cause lately she doesn't wanna sit very long, but she was wonderful!!! She slept the whole first part of the trip, from Minneapolis to Atlanta, where we had a 10min layover. Then she watched Dora from ATL to Knoxville. 

We got in Saturday afternoon around 12:35 where a very excited Mimi and PJoe (Lance's mom, Bonnie and dad, Joe) were waiting for us. Then, we went to eat with the rest of the Freeman crew; Travis, April, Hannah, Leah, and Chloe. After lunch we went to the lake with some of the Wallace family.

Land of 10,000 lakes doesn't have a thing on Norris Lake! :)

After church Sunday, we went to 'sunday dinner' at Granny Wallace's. Mmmmm....home cooking! Then we went to visit Granny and Papa Chapman. We also got to see Harley there! I think he missed us. Ansley kept chasing him and trying to love on him. It is probably a good thing that he is staying with Granny and Papa cause Ansley really really likes to 'love' on him and he isn't too fond of it! Here she is in his bed....

We are having a blast being back at home! Lance unfortunately has to work during the day, he is doing ride alongs, so this isn't just a week of vacation for him. Mostly all we have been doing so far is just hanging out with our families and Ansley is LOVING having her cousins to play with along with all her aunts and uncles! We got to celebrate Granny Freeman's 79th birthday!

all the Freeman's 

We went one day and ate lunch at the Museum of Appalachia with Papa, Aunt Amanda, Uncle Walter and Rob. Ansley loved chasing the peacocks and chicks around....

Ansley has also been having a blast at Nana and Papa's (my mom and dads). She loves going to see the goats and of course Papa's 'moos'.     



                                                                          

Not to mention she is LOVING all this fresh picked home cooking she is getting to eat....

We hope to spend some time at the lake this weekend and of course hang out with our families more. Although me and Ansley still have til next Friday here, Lance only has til Sunday so we are planning a jam packed weekend! Thank you for all your prayers and support! If you can't tell, we are excited to be home!







The Fair

This week is the Steele County Free Fair! http://www.scff.org/. This is Minnesota's largest county fair. It has over 100 food vendors and  over 30 rides/games. We have been every night since it opened Tuesday! Ansley loves it, her favorite is all the animals!
