Movin' on up

Back to the Northwoods of Wisconsin. So I don't have to rename my blog after all! :)

We are really excited about heading back and can't wait! We were packing like crazy this past weekend... here's the evidence! One and a half rooms packed and ready to go! And all the other rooms didn't get much more than halfway unpacked anyway! ;) It's going to go much quicker this time... Maria is more than thrilled with moving back. I don't think she unpacked more than one box... and she's almost all packed up and ready to go!

Packed our DVD collection too - less distractions from packing (of course we left out a few of Duncan's faves to keep him more occupied...) Too hot for clothes!
Baby Beatrice is thinking about walking! She's been cruising around all over the place, and will stand on her own for a few seconds... Her top two teeth are now almost all the way in, and her menu is expanding daily.
Duncan's about ready for another haircut!
Anyway... we will be picking up and loading the Uhaul on the 29th and then we're off on the 30th!!! Can't wait to get back to our fenced-in yard! The kids and dogs are going to be digging it!

Some days are just pretty good

Today was pretty good. We finally got our economic stimulus payment today! (it was supposed to come on saturday)... then at the grocery store we won the weekly drawing for $50 in groceries! AND I have both kiddos sleeping at the same time! So what do I do with all that free time?? Blog. And think about folding laundry...

Maria's last softball game was last week :( It was over too fast... but she had lots of fun! And she makes a really awesome 3rd baseman!


Beatrice will miss picking grass at Maria's games... If you take grass out of her hands enough times before she makes it to her mouth... she will just lean over for a bite! Duncan will miss running around like a crazy monkey during Maria's games...
We caught him in a still contemplative pose here... and thought for sure he was attending to some serious business ;)

See the similarities?


Here everyone is waiting anxiously for the summer ritual of after dinner ice cream!

Here is baby Beatrice modeling the shorts I crocheted for her! :) Happy belated 4th of July!!
