So much has happened.
We are settling in to our new home. We love having a neighbor/friend who is flexible and willing to play anytime, built in playmates and a backup Mom. Still emptying out boxes one at a time, but finally have almost all the boxes emptied from the main living area. We even have meals and cookie dough in the freezer.
Signed up for Internet at our house because of many reasons. The most irritating being that unlimited data package for an iPhone doesn't really mean unlimited ability to use unlimited data.
Big Sister was enjoying her first real opportunity to use our computer and online reading. This seemed to motivate her to want to read independently. Got to keep that motivation moving!
Grandparent camp: a well loved favorite by all family members. Mom enjoyed a the first of the two weeks while enjoying some personal down time to unpack the second week. Big Sister cashed in her birthday certificate and enjoyed a day of special treats: horseback trail ride, trip to the toy store to pick out any item, haircut, ice cream and as much fun and feeling special possible to pack into one day. Little Brother had fun riding bikes, swimming, and drinking as many beverages from a can and sugary drinks he could guzzle. And everyone's two favorite summer activities: sleepovers with the cousins and July 4th celebrations.
Most importantly, we missed each other while separated (in a good way) and were all excited to be reunited upon their return home. Next year, Mom's going to join them the second week.
