We lived in the town less than a year, and not long into that year we knew we&#8217;d have to move on after school let out in the spring.\u00a0 So, it was surprising to go back and realize what I&#8217;ve miss since we&#8217;ve been gone &#8211; really, it made me think about the things we miss from ALL of the different parts of our very scattered life these past 7 years, and certainly grateful for all we have right now. (This will be the first year since college that we are not moving to a new house, town, state&#8230;!)<\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY &#8211; I insisted that Sara clear her calendar\u00a0 for Friday night and Saturday morning so that I could have her undivided attention. \ud83d\ude42 She graciously agreed, and I had the best time laughing with her and catching up. Here are our silly pictures from our Tour de Baxter, including our stop at good old Forestview Middle School.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1070\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/04\/sara-at-target-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"sara-at-target\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1071\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/04\/sara-jc-penny-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"sara-jc-penny\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1073\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/04\/bill-and-sara-americinn-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"bill-and-sara-americinn\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1072\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/04\/holding-kfc-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"holding-kfc\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1074\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/04\/sara-and-erin-forestview.jpg\" alt=\"sara-and-erin-forestview\" width=\"680\" height=\"304\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We headed over to the Svir&#8217;s for Axton&#8217;s birthday party this afternoon. He&#8217;s getting bigger and has mastered walking&#8230; The last time we&#8217;d seen him he was just taking his first steps.

I was mighty impressed by this gift, as Bill and always think it&#8217;s fun to find noisy toys to give to our friends&#8217; kids since we don&#8217;t have any of our own yet. (Helene is my new hero!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">It was great to catch up with the Svir\/Mitzner crew!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I really can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s taken 9 months to get back to Baxter. It was so much fun &#8211; we&#8217;ve got to go back again soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend brought us back to Brainerd\/Baxter, and I&#8217;ll admit it was a bit strange to be there again.
