The last fews weeks have been CRAZY!! It has felt like a never ending process but finally we are settle in Michigan.
It started by going to Kansas City. We went there for the weekend to see my dad that was working there. We hung out with him when he had some breaks and were able to go see the church sites before we moved from Missouri. We went to Liberty Jail and to Independence and saw the "Hershey Kiss Temple" or what ever you have heard it called.
After that Ryan had his boards on Monday and Paige and I headed home to pack and start cleaning the house. We loaded the truck and hit the road on Tuesday. Paige and I drove my car for the 10 hours and Ryan drove the truck. YES! I survived a ten hour drive with a baby by myself!!!
We got to Michigan and my sister watched Paige so Ryan and I could unload the truck and start unpacking. THANKS CHRISTINA!! We had everything unpacked in two days and just needed to hang pictures on the walls and do some last minute shopping. Ryan's parents came into town on Friday. Scott was our handyman and did everything and Dona was an extra eye for decorating and helped take care of Paige. After everything was done we went exploring.
About 20 minutes from our house is Frankenmuth. A Bavarian town with a HUGE Christmas store and famous chicken dinner.
We also drove to Lake Huron and walked on the beach... Which was disgusting! At this time every year, because of the temperature change in the water, all these fish die and get washed up on shore :( but of course Ryan couldn't resist on playing with some of them!
The rest of the time we spent relaxing and enjoying the cool weather. My mom also came to visit and we spent time with her and my sisters family for Andrews 7th birthday.
We live on the edge of a persevered wetland area and so we always get little creatures in our back yard; bunnies, deer, raccoons, bats and fireflies!
Pictures of our house to come soon!!

ReplyDeleteWe had such a great time . . . . we really miss Paige and you guys. Thanks for keeping the blog updated. We look at it everyday, especially when we get lonely for Paige. Her pictures are adorable. One of our favorites is the "monkey and me" picture.
