Much to the joy of our little ones, Grandma and Papa Peanut have flown into town for their first visit. We are so happy to have them, and are busy showing them our new home city. It is amazing to think that we have only been Minnesoooootans for three weeks -- it seems as though we have been here for a much longer time.
Our adventure today led us to St. Paul and an exploration of some of our favorite neighborhoods in the Twin Cities. Miss loves St. Paul because we 1) travel through a tunnel on the freeway in order to reach it, and 2) there are statues of Peanuts characters (no relation) placed throughout the city. Charles Schultz himself grew up in St. Paul, and there are reminders of the Peanuts gang all around the town. Today, Miss repeatedly informed me that Snoopy is going to send her an e-mail. She has been receiving e-mails of various kinds from her grandparents, and now expects e-mail from anyone she meets. We'll see if Snoopy comes through.
It is wonderful indeed when family arrives for a visit, and the whole length of their stay is stretched out in front of us. It holds so many possibilities for exciting and special times spent together.
