We're back home after being gone to Mankato Friday through Monday. We had a great visit. As always, we saw lots of the cousins (always a thrill for the kids), my brothers and their wives. Saw my grandparents. Spent much of the afternoon with Heather and her two kids. Leaving wasn't too bad for the kids knowing they'll see the grandparents again in just a few weeks when they come down for Thanksgiving.

Cory stayed busy delivering pizzas, doing things around the the house, and nursing a cold. He's delivering pizzas tonight, too, but then has the next few days off (from all work) because he's going up to Mitchell to help his brother build their new garage. His dad will be there, too. I think Cory's really looking forward to spending a few days with his brother and father. So, we won't see much of Cory this week, but hopefully we'll have more time together this weekend.

Lots to be done. Hoping Cole is asleep soon so he can get some extra sleep and get over this case of the crankies. Hopefully it's just that and not him getting sick. Maybe I'll be inspired to blog something interesting, too, over the next few days.
