And now my in-laws live there! We were glad to finally be guests in their new Bismarck home. It really was a relaxing fun week that flew by too fast. Here are some of my fav moments and people we saw:
Whenever these boy cousins get together, there is undoubtedly a freakishly long board game involved. Like Risk (seen above).
Barb and Sarah came for a few days too. And whenever there is family, there is good food! I blame this for the reason I started to gain back all the baby weight I had already lost. So worth it though!
It was so precious to catch this moment during the crazy of a full house. I happened to hear Lilli reading Eli a story. Alas, she was just making up her own glorious story and flipping random pages... but her fully attentive listener didn't care! Too cute!
Eli thinks Uncle Andrew has great hair.
And now for a few shots of the crazy water that has taken over much of North Dakota this year. We caught only the tail end of it but the remnants of all the mess still exist. An example - the local grocery store:

Bismarck didn't get flooding like Minot did. Parts of Minot are a complete disaster right now, with so many losing their homes completely and others having to gut out all that was ruined. Thanks to those we know that have helped out, it's dirty work but so needed!
