We are done with our very first Wisconsin summer and now I'm understanding why people stay here. It was beautiful. The weather was so great. We have the humidity of an ocean city but it isn't every day so it's just enough to remind you of the beaches in Mexico. It's hot, which reminds you of how cold it gets in the winter so you savor every degree. The trees and grass are the greenest of greens and you wonder how you could have ever thought Colorado has color.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm a life-r, but I am saying it's not as bad as I wanted it to be. It would have been so much easier if every moment here sucked but it doesn't. I'm loving life here now. And all I can think about when I say that is, no matter where you are, you make the best of it. I love my family more than anything and as long as I'm with them, I'll be ok. I'll be amazing. They are my world. Yes, I miss a lot of people all of the time. But I can't count the days until I leave here anymore. I'm just not as sure about getting out of here as I once was.
Our house is beautiful. Everything I complained about at first has now become the reason I will stay! The woodwork is gorgeous and I don't know anyone that has a house like ours with the character and the history (except for my grandma) and now I know it will be hard to let it go because we most likely won't find another place like it. I'm looking forward to the holidays because it will just be so cute all decorated!!
So on to what's been happening. I'm back at work and things are going well. I've been traveling a lot, which is hard but you get used to it. I don't mind having to be away from my desk, but it is hard to be away from the fam. Little Miss has been much better about it than she used to be though. I get to come home to a little welcome wagon, rather than the cold shoulder I used to get.
The kids are growing like weeds the way they do. Little Miss is now having full conversations with us. She says the funniest things. I often wish I had my own reality show so that everyone could see how funny she is but I'm guessing a lot of mom's say the same thing, haha! She's still just as independent as I knew she would be but now we have to deal with a lot less tantrums because of it. She's doing well at daycare and has a new little BFF, who is one cute little guy!! It's hard to believe she may start pre-school next year! I am actually not sure what I want to do. I would rather she not start school at age 3 but I don't want her to be behind when she starts kindergarten. I've talked to our daycare provider and I think we can work out something so that Little Miss gets the education she needs with her but I still am not sure if it would be better to start her with a school-type curriculum now, rather than later. I can't believe I'm already having to think about this stuff! That was fast!
Anyway, Little B is also good. He currently has the flu and that part is awful. He's throwing up a lot and his diapers are no fun but he's in very good spirits. You wouldn't really know that he's sick at all unless you had to do the clean-up. Other than that, he's SO big now!! He was just so tiny when I last blogged so it's amazing to see how much he's grown. He is now above the 80th percentile for weight. He was 16.5lbs on his last appointment and I'm guessing he's a solid 20 by now. But Little Miss was the same way so I'm just waiting for B to stop getting thicker and start growing taller.
MH and I are good too. He is definitely loving Wisconsin. Over the summer, he really got to know our neighbors and I can see him being a lifer if it came down to it. We'll see what happens though, haha!
We still miss everyone like crazy though. I hope you are all doing fantastic and we can't wait to see you again! We are VERY fortunate to have some family coming out here for the holidays. I can't wait!
Until the next time, Happy Holidays to you all and I hope to hear from you soon.
