Surprise!
This was supposed to be a pretty lazy weekend. We stayed in last night and planned to go over to my parents house for brunch today (my birthday was this past week). Throw in some baby watching, maybe a little home improvement work, and that was it.
Then at brunch today we got a big surprise--my sister Kjerstin and brother-in-law Joe are here from Alaska!!
We were totally caught off guard. Turns out Kjerstin and Joe had bought tickets way back in November, in anticipation of Grace's arrival. Later today we found out that J's mom (who will be staying with us for one more week to help with Grace) was in on it, too.
We've spent most of the day sitting around the room looking at Grace (who doesn't seem to mind the attention). It was fun to catch up with Joe and Kjerstin...until today they'd been coy about when they might be able to make it to see Grace given the distance and Kjerstin's teaching schedule.
They'll be staying through this weekend and President's day, before heading back to Anchorage (where Kj is a teacher and Joe is getting his Masters in earth sciences) on Tuesday.
Looks like renovation work on the house just got pushed down the priority list again. :-)

Looks like geographical distance doesn't mean a thing to little Grace...She looks perfectly content in Auntie Kjerstin's arms..
