Toads-in-the-Hole

On Thursday afternoon, Joel, Adelaide, and I packed up the Taurus and headed north to St. Cloud, Minnesota for a lively weekend of baby showers, family reunions, and meet-and-greets.

All said and done, we’ve decided that Adelaide is an intrepid traveler, braving the packed-to-the-gills backseat with a cheery disposition. Moreover, during the eleven hours we spent en route this weekend, Adelaide happily snuggled down into her seat and chose to snooze instead of complain about the state of things. She even seemed to enjoy an obligatory rest stop at the Dairy Queen, even though she wasn't allowed to taste a Mister Misty or Blizzard.

And the trip wasn't totally uneventful. The drive home to South Dakota marked a milestone in Adelaide’s development: somewhere between Willmar and Lake Benton, Minnesota, Adelaide found her hands.
