Traveling...

A week ago, Monday - Scott, Leo and I decided to try out our pickup camper. So, we put the camper on and packed up our camping gear. We went to Itasca State Park - just for the night. It went good for the most part - Leo slept through most everything during the day...but at midnight, he was ready to play! We tried to explain that quiet hours started at 10 o'clock - he didn't care:) We didn't have much room to try to walk him to sleep in the camper, but in the end Mom and Dad won:)

Here we are at our campfire...

Here we are at the beginning of the Mississippi River...

Our next adventure was to Duluth. Just Leo and I went to visit Mary, Jack, Kevin and Kris (friends from AZ) - Dad went home to Roseau to help Grandpa cut and bail hay. Leo and I had a great time! We spent most of the time there just visiting and laughing!

The 6 of us went up the North Shore to Gooseberry Falls one day...

Here we are on the rocks along Lake Superior...at Larsmont Cottages (where Scott and I went on our honeymoon!)

We were supposed to leave for Florian Park this weekend to go camping with the Petrowski's...unfortunately, we are at home! I have been fighting an infection in my groin and leg. Apparently, I had a clogged (and now, infected) sweat gland that needed to be opened up and drained - so I have a 4 inch incision along my groin and a staph infection halfway down my thigh. I am on some potent antibiotics. I have to go in for shots of antibiotics Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Yuck! Hopefully, it will heal/clear up without any complications. It has been challenging to care for a 7 week old infant and deal with the pain and discomfort. Thank goodness, Leo is a good baby and that Scott has been home - he's been doing double the work these days!

Leo had his baby wellness appointment on Friday. The click in his hip cleared up on its own and he is a healthy 12 lb, 3 oz. boy! He has gained more than 4 pounds in the past 7 weeks! He is a big boy! I was really worried about him getting his immunization shots...but ended up being really worried about my own issues. Scott was with Leo in one room getting his shots - and I was in another room getting MY shots! Uggh...what a week?!?!
