Well, as of August 25th we are now official Wisconsinites. We have slowly settled into our new normal and for the most part we are loving the change. I am now home for the first time ever with the boys while Mike works long days at UWW. We both have welcomed the transition! Mike really enjoys teaching, and I am loving trips to the library, park, and lots of time for reading and cooking. Being so much closer to our family near Chicago has been wonderful as well. The last month or so has been a blur as we spent several days in Pennsylvania visiting with Mike's family and mourning the loss of his Grandma, almost a week in northern Wisconsin at Summer Haven with my parents, we packed up in Minneapolis--and spent lots of time trying to have fun with our neighborhood crew and close friends (and Mandy of course), I finished my job, and moved in to our new home. Then just four days later we were back on the road again for my cousin Tyler's wedding! Colin turned 5 and Ethan turned 2 within 10 dyas of our arrival--mix in the first days of school for both Mike and Colin and whew! We still have boxes to unload, but we're getting there. Today, we were able to enjoy the fantastic weather and spent time with two other faculty members and their families (with all boys!) It was such a good time. Hopefully, we'll update more regularly now!

Good Lord! I decided to check your blog to see if MAYBE we'd see an update and there's FOUR!!!
We miss you terribly!!!
Glad to hear you're all settled in...ya'll sound like us, trying to pack in a year's worth of activities in a short time! I'm so glad you're able to stay home...I'm jealous (don't tell Eric). I'm able to kind-of stay at home now, since I'm working overnights...I guess I'm a full-time pharmacist/half-time mom..better than nothing I guess! Loved all the pics of the Boys...they are getting so big (and sooooo cute too!) If it gets too cold in Wisconsin for you this winter, you know you're always welcome for a visit here! love, whitney
