Labor Day Weekend

Our Labor Day weekend was eventful, to say the least.  Our original plans were to head up to Longville, MN on Friday and come home Tuesday.  We left Thursday after work, drove to Maple Grove and on our way there, my Mom called to say she was at the ER in Brainerd.  She didn't know what was wrong exactly and didn't know how long she'd be in the hospital.  She told us to call in the morning and see if they knew anymore then. 

We woke up Friday morning, got ready, and then called about 8:30.  She said she wasn't doing any better and they were going to keep her again.  My parents told us it probably wasn't a good idea to go up so we decided we'd figure something out.  We didn't have any hotel reservations and debated about hanging out in Minneapolis.  While I was in the shower, I had the brilliant idea of driving over to Mercer, WI to visit his Dad and Mary.  We called and they so graciously let us stay with them for the weekend.  We had a nice visit and took Cooper to a lake one day where they had slides and a private swimming area.  He was in heaven.  :)  That little guy loves the lake.  I felt so bad when we couldn't go up to my parents since Cooper has been asking to go to Minnesota and play with his shovel and boat.  :)  We'll make it up there again, I'm sure.

My Mom finally got to come home on Sunday and she doesn't have the biopsy results back yet, but they told her they'd have them by Friday.  She doesn't have her doctor's appt until this coming Tuesday, which she'll find out then.  It turned out to be a nice weekend and we had a great time with Jason's parents.  We'll be seeing them again soon!

In Tucker news, he's pulling himself up.  He started doing it about a week ago and he's creeping a little around the furniture.  He looks so big.  :(  He's got a little bug and usually has one big messy diaper a day and has to have a wardrobe change.  I'm hoping it has something to do with teething and nothing else.  It's been going on since Saturday, so we hope he feels better soon.

Here are a few pictures from this past weekend.  We stopped in St. Croix Falls, WI on the way over to Mercer and it was absolutely gorgeous.  We'd didn't have time to do the river boat cruise, but we'd like to if we get up that way again.
