Mesdames Emily and Missy Blethen hosted a brief afternoon family gathering at their Eden Prairie home today. Guests included Cousins Tony and Heidi and Aunt Mary Lou.
This was Emily's first meeting with Tony and Heidi, who live in Arizona and Colorado, respectively, and had never met the soon-to-be-kindergartener. Duly impressed, of course, and they got on right away. Emily soon introduced them to the house cats and the house gerbil.
The guests were also impressed with Missy's exotic back yard fountain and floral works, something she constructed "mostly" herself.
