Welcome to the farm!

Yesterday we packed up and head north to Onamia for Claire's first trip to the farm.  Again, this trip was more for Ryan so he could fill up on hotdish!  Though Great Grandma Ilene was pretty excited to see Claire as well :)

Ryan earned his hotdish by hanging a mirror on the wall as well as printing out pictures of Claire to add to Great Gma's grandchildren frame (Patti - we finally got the frame finished!).  This however did turn into a bit of a Mark Anderson project as Ryan made 2 trips to the hardware store, 1 trip to the neighbors, and coutless trips downstairs to find the right screws to hang the frame.  A meer 3 hours later he had the mirror hung.  Good thing I'm used to supervising these types of projects :)

Editorial from Ryan:  It wasn't 3 hours, more like 2, and in retrospect, driving 2 miles to a hardware store to buy a 38¢ EZ-Anchor is a far better option than mining through an unbelievable collection of random pieces of hardware that started in the 1940's.

Here Great Gma and Claire are getting reacquainted.

And of course Claire had to try her first "bite" of hotdish.  She wasn't so sure at first!
