This past weekend we flew all the way up to Grand Forks, MN to celebrate Great Grandpa Maruska's 90th birthday.  This was Connor's first visit to Minnesota and the first time he has met the extended Maruska family.  Connor, Erin and I have received so much support from Grandpa Maruska and the whole Maruska offspring.  It was nice to show off Connor, let everyone see in person how well he was doing and thank them for the support.

Great Grandpa did not know Connor was coming.  He thought it was just going to be just me.  When he saw Erin, Connor and Aubrey drive up in the car with me I believe he got a little choked up.  It was a pretty special weekend for all of us.
