Hey all!

Not sure who is reading but Hi! I am at home, it has been a very quiet weekend and I thought maybe I should take some time and catch up on my blog. Here is Evy and I and the amazing view we had a couple of weeks ago up in Silver Bay, MN. It was a perfect getaway for our family, we had some time up there alone together and later in the weekend some friends came up and joined us. This is where Evy really started to walk! No TV or internet, just the beauty of God's creation and time together- so refreshing! Sorry the quality is so bad- these pictures are all from my really old iPhone :)

This was taken at the Pine Tree Apple Orchard, another fall must if you live in MN. We have actually had a long gorgeous fall this year, and have been doing our best to take advantage of the great weather before it leaves us. And yes, I got bangs. I did it on a whim at my last hair appointment but I have to say, and I am surprised, but I have never had so many compliments on a haircut before! Even from strangers! It's funny too, because it has been over a month but people still tell me they love it, so I think its a hint from everyone that I must be a bangs person. I remember in third grade the long painful chore of growing them out, but I think it was worth it this time to chop them off :)

Alex and I went on a date Friday night to a place in downtown St. Paul called Cosetta and I LOVED it! Best Italian restaurant in MN! Seriously, this place is legit. So of course I want to bring everybody I know there because I get excited about food (the most Italian thing about me) but really, most people have probably been there it has been around for a hundred years or more. I think. Anyway, like I've said before, it really is the little things :) At least for me.

And there is one more sweet piece of news. I've been waiting to share, but baby Walburg number two is coming in March! It was a bit of a surprise, but a wonderful one nonetheless. We are so happy and excited! I have had two ultrasounds already so here is a picture at 15 weeks, I am currently 17 weeks and feeling really, really great. More details to come later on how this pregnancy is going. But as always, there is SO much to be thankful for.
