Baby Nora meets Great Grandma Nora

Nora and Nora

Nora and I left after her morning nap and feeding to travel to Fargo, North Dakota to meet my Grandma Nora (who Baby Nora was named after!) We stopped at the Albertville Outlet Mall to see if they had any baby clothes deals going on, I was disappointed, but I did find a few cute things at Old Navy Outlet. After feeding her again (in the car) at the Outlet Mall, we set off for the state of North Dakota. She slept most of the way, but then was VERY hungry when we got to Grandmas assisted living apartment. Grandma, who doesn't normally like to hold babies (she says her arms are too weak to hold them) was very excited to hold Nora. Baby was smiling and giggling and talking to Great Grandma and it was so sweet to watch them together. My mom and Reese, my sisters 4 year old daughter, also came to visit. We visited with Grandma a bit and then baby Nora and I went to visit some of my high school friends who live in Fargo. Alex and Kali Mork (and their dogs Kirby and Puckett) live near my Grandma so we stopped by to say hello and so they could meet Nora. Nora liked the dogs and was so excited she pooped down her leg---that was a fun diaper to change! Alex and I have been friends since we were in the same daycare at 3/4 years old! He has been a great friend and I am so glad we have stayed in touch through all the years. Kali is his high school sweetheart and also a high school friend, we played volleyball and basketball together. They were excited to meet Nora and to catch up. We stayed at my Aunt Connie and Randy's house. It was so great to see them. With them living in Fargo, I don't see them as much as I would like to. Connie made a wonderful supper on Friday night and a few more cousins came over to eat/play cards/meet Nora. Saturday morning, pancakes were made with Reese's help!! We then drove to say goodbye to Grandma. I was so glad I made the trip to see her and for her to see her great granddaughter who is named after her. We took a 4 generation picture with my grandma, my mom, me and Nora. It will be a great keepsake. I needed to get back to the cities by 4, so we left Fargo and headed back home at 11:30. Nora has now been in 2 states and hopefully the next time we visit Grandma and Grandpa Ulstad we can drive the 10 miles to the South Dakota border (which daddy has never done yet). Overall the trip was so great and Nora was a perfect traveler (she slept the whole way home).
