Quiet Sunday

Today was a very quiet day. We were going to attempt a walk but when I looked outside the wind was sweeping through the trees a bit to briskly. So Burke and I took a nap instead. I had to call my mom in order to have some grown up conversation. I love my chats with Burke, but sometimes I need more than a head shake or an adorable smile in response to my rambling. Tomorrow Justin returns. Phew!

Fun Times for Justin

On Wednesday Justin called me from work to see what I thought about him going on a ski trip. I was truthful and told him I was jealous, a bit angry and possible bitter, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Friday morning Justin headed out with Matt and another guy to Whittier where they hopped on a water taxi for some location on Pigot Bay. From there I have no clue what they did except Matt had reserved a Forest Service cabin and a 16' Zodiak. Their plan is to troll around the bay to find runs they want to make on mountains, park the boat, hike up and then ski down (hopefully stopping before hitting they water). I look forward to finding out what they did when he returns on Monday.

While Justin's having fun, Burke and I are hanging out. We had gorgeous weather yesterday but gray is predicted for the next few days with a chance of snow. Boooo. I told Justin he "owes me big time" and he said "you just went to Idaho". My response "it's not retroactive". So I'm thinking I should get some ME time next weekend. Justin and Burke can hang out.

To Idaho and Back

Burke and I successfully made it to Idaho and back. We had a great time and throughly exhausted ourselves doing it. I absolutely loved all of the time I got to spend with family and friends. Sadly, there wasn't enough time to see everyone I wanted to. Hopefully next time!

I rarely had to change Burke's dirty diapers. My sister and sister-in-law jumped right in. Burke loved seeing so many new faces. He had no issues being passed from person to person. Burke also got to meet some new friends - Connor and Zach. They were super cute together.

My brother lied. He said he'd only hold Burke once. He held him more than that. Brandon and Burke look a lot like each other. I need to get my hands on a baby picture of Brandon. Burke definitely has many of the Friis characteristics.

Burke really liked his Aunt Lindsay. She made him smile lots. Grammie Becky had fun holding him. She kept saying that she was going to take him home with her.
