MPR News pictures of the year, January through March

The winter of 2011 was one for the record books when it came to snow; we played in it, we shoveled it and some of us sought shelter from it. Meantime, there were protests in the Twin Cities over tuition hikes, and at the Wisconsin Capitol over efforts to neuter public employee unions.

The war in Iraq is officially over, but not for the Minnesota National Guard's Red Bulls -- and their families waiting anxiously at home. The NBA lockout is over, and we finally got to see Ricky Rubio in a Timberwolves uniform.

With the recent adoption of two girls they've been foster parenting for more than a year, Freddy and Jenny Munoz are still adjusting to life as new parents. However, they are doing so while living apart. Freddy, a member of the Minnesota National Guard "Red Bulls" 34th Infantry Division, is stationed in Kuwait assisting with the drawdown in Iraq as Jenny is home with Eszie, 6, and Emma, 8. This is a look at how the St. Francis, Minn. family is dealing with a deployment on the home front.

Take a look at images from those assignments and others in our pictures of the week.

With just 3,558 residents, or six people per square mile, Travis County along the South Dakota border is Minnesota's least populated -- and it fits most common definitions of frontier. It can be lonely, so people have come to rely on a far-flung network of agencies and collaborators to serve a population that's also one of the oldest in the state. We looked at how the county copes these challenges as part of our Forced To Choose series.
