Here is Berit's smile and Olin on his bday.

Berit is finding her smile! It takes some doing to get it out and is quite difficult to photograph, but everyday, its a bit easier. And Momma's girl slept from 7p to 5a last night. (I am knocking on wood right now because this phenomenon has only happened once). As you can see, she has kept most of her hair, but I think it may be thinning a bit. Olin still likes her most of the time. The top picture is Olin on his 2nd birthday. I'll be able to post some of his actual party and Berit's actual smile in a few days.

So if any of you decide to take a roade trip with a 2 year old and a newborn, you might want to think twice. We headed out to Boulder for Chris and Laura's wedding. It was wonderful, we had a babysitter, we were staying in a super nice hotel, we were in Boulder. I got to have a few too many beers for the first time in about a year and I had a pedicure and someone did my hair. It was awesome. And the wedding was great: ) Then we headed off with the Scamp with no real destination in mind. We decided to keep driving to a minimum, so we headed straight north and camped at Devil's Tower for 2 nights and then went to the N end of the badlands of NoDak. Devil's Tower was truly spectacular and the N side of the Badlands state park is really much more dramatic then the south part. I would recommend both places to anyone. Then we visited Harold and Ellie on the farm and saw Lisa and John. We finished the trip in Bismark visiting all of the McCall relatives. All of the above is the good. What wasn't so good was a 3 week old newborn who was against allowing anyone to relax in the evening. Poor little Berit wailed from 6p-9p for the whole week we were camping. Olin got a bit fed up. He has a lot of words, but couldn't quite express how frustrated he was with the crying baby. So he acted out in his special Olin way. Like by throwing a full glass of milk over his mother's sleeping bag. There are many, many more details, but I'll stop there. Let's just say there weren't people crowding us at the campsites.
