Rhode Island, Florida, D.C., Boston (and MN & WI) since last post!

Sorry for the delay in an update. I did try about a month ago to post an update with pictures but got a bit frustrated with how slow my computer was and gave up. So, a longer update... We have had a really busy few months. Of course I was traveling back and forth between Minneapolis and Providence, RI Sunday through Thursday and between that we were able to fit in a trip to Florida for some R & R and sunshine, and in early March Karl went to Washington, D.C. with Nancy and Martha to attend Marcy's retirement ceremony. He was giddy with stories for a whole week when he got back. I think he has some pictures, we will post those soon. Nolan is doing great. Growing so fast and learning so many new words...some of them maybe I would prefer he didn't learn but that's par for the course. Last weekend he was sick, fever, rash, upset stomach. We took him to the Target (?) clinic and found out he had Strep throat. Considering how sick he was he was very well behaved. A few days on anti-biotics and he was the same old Nolan. I am off the road now and supposed to be on the ground for a while. The travel has worn me 'thread-bare', and I have been longing for Door County solitude. Then it occured to me that there was no reason why Nolan & I couldn't spend a month up there this summer. My work is highly portable, as is Nolan, and now with Mardelle officially 'retired' (again) it seemed like all the pieces of the puzzle were lining up. After confirming with work and daycare, and of course, Mardelle, it's official. Nolan & I will be calling Door County home this summer. I am so excited. All the fresh air, lack of concrete, and the abundance of quiet is just what I need. Too bad it's not for another 3 months :) On the home-front, for the third year in a row we are hoping to buy a different house. This year might just be the year as things are lining up for us. We would very much like to take advantage of the buyers market, but in order to do that we will likely have to rent the townhouse out. More to come on that, but if you know someone looking for a nice, big place to rent in Burnsville, give us a call. Here's some pictures to catch you up.
