visitors from ohio
Today Nikki and Matt drove up to visit with us. I was so glad to see them. We spent the day playing at the playground, climbing at the Treehouse, eating ice cream, and just catching up. Carter was so happy to see them and Landon was loving on them too. It was hard to say goodbye but we know we will see them again soon. Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.1
Our first week here
Well we have settled into our new home this week. We have spent most of the time exploring the town. We went for a walk down town Chelsea. My worry is that Carter is at a point right now that he wants to push the limits with everything. I am afraid to walk with him down town by myself because he will just take of running and not listen to me yelling. My mom has been visiting this past week and has been a huge help. She is my extra set of hands and eyes because if you know Carter you know that I need as much help as I can get. He refuses to hold my hand while crossing the street and when I make him hold my hand he will just sit down and scream (believe me he has done this in the middle of the street...embarrassing). We walked to the TreeHouse which is an indoor play place for kids and a coffeshop for parents. It is totally cool. It is so clean and the kids love it. Carter is just a little to tiny to crawl through it by hi...
A Day at the Park
Landon is a daddy's boy! Giving some love to Maw Maw They loved going down the slide together! Feeding the ducks saltines! Carter was so over having his photo taken! Today we visited several parks in Ann Arbor. Our favorite was Gallup Park. We fed ducks and fish. Carter was so excited to throw in saltines and watch the ducks fight over each piece. Landon wanted to each his snack instead of tossing it in for the ducks. When we saw a duck I said to Carter, "What does a duck say?" He said "Quack" and then heistated and said "orange toes". Yep, those ducks do have orange toes. It is so crazy to me how he comes up with these things. We walked quite awhile on the trails through the park and Carter ran pretty much the whole way. He is an active little dude!
Carter turns 2!
Eating a birthday cookie...homemade from Great Grandma Grocho! A birthday cupcake...yummy Wow! Time flies by...Carter is 2 years old! We had a little birthday get together at our new place to celebrate. He had such a great time! Thanks to all who came to this event! Check out these great pics. We taught him to say "I'm two!" When it says it, it sounds like achoo! Bob and I can't believe how fast he is growing up!
A new chapter in our lives!
The life as we know it has officially changed. I have wanted to post about this for quite some time but I was freaked out that crazy people would know I was home alone. In October Bob was presented with an opportunity through his work that we were not expecting. The position would be in Jackson, Michigan at a Eaton plant where he would be the Human Resource Manager. He thought this might happen when he had completed his masters and had several years experience but...it was an early surprise. With this opportunity it was going to cause our family to relocate to Michigan. With this position he could have the chance to relocate again within 20-30 months. In November he started this job and we put our house up for sale. We thought as soon as the house sold we would head up and join him. Well, to make a long story short, I stayed with the boys in North Ridgeville and he would stay in a cabin through the week and come home on the weekends. ...
