Well, we’ve been in Madison, WI for a month and a half now.
It’s been a crazy time here as we’ve been traveling a lot. Our first week here,
we went to northern Wisconsin to hang out with some college friends at a cabin.
The week after that, Blake and I went to my cousin’s wedding in SW MN and spent
some additional days at my parents. The week after that, Blake and I went to
Rochester, MN and hung out with some friends, and I also went to a seminar to
get some CPE credits to keep my CPA license active. The week after that, Blake
and I went to MO to help Scott’s sister who has terrible morning sickness with
her fourth child and immediately when we got back, Scott & I went out for
the weekend for our anniversary. Our sister-in-law, Priscilla and Kelly came
and babysat Blake! The week after that, it was our first full week at home. The week after that, a trip back to
Indiana to see friends. And that brings us to today. As you can see, we haven’t
spent a lot of time here yet!!
As of right now, Indiana seems more like home than anywhere
else. Driving the streets was so familiar, hardly being able to get to the
nursery at church because we were stopped by so many people wanting to chat, we
hung out with dear friends, and just had a lovely time.
Conveniently, Scott had enough credits for a rental car for
a day, so we rented a brand new loaded car, drove in style down to
Indianapolis, picked up our old car, and returned back home. Well, we felt rich
for a day anyways J
It is amazing the things a little mind like Blake’s
remembers. We were at our friends house, which is decorated in disney and he
just so happens to love that house (and it’s residents). When we arrived, he
was beside himself excited and crawling around like crazy. Thankfully, he still
went to sleep ok!! The next day he got a lot of attention and still remembered
Debbie, who would always calm him down during our Bible study. She is the one
person he will go to and forget that I am around. Well, things haven’t changed
in that respect.
Blake is not yet walking, but he has taken two flying steps
as he quickly tries to get into the arms of whomever he is trying to reach,
ultimately falling into their arms as he finally reaches his destination. I don’t think I’m ready for him to walk
yet….I love the crawling stage!
He also remembered the mural on the wall of the nursery at
church. He has always been absolutely mesmerized by this mural and if we are
near the room, he will lean as far back in my arms as possible trying to get a
glimpse of this mural. Well, I went in that nursery on Sunday to try and nurse
him and give him a cat nap before lunch since he hadn’t had a nap yet. Well,
that was futile b/c that mural was there distracting him. I even turned off the
lights, but you could still see the outline, and that was enough to distract
him. I’ve taken two pictures and plan to enlarge them to see if it has the same
effect on him. See below:
