I did accomplish something organizational with my week off between jobs! I reorganized all of our baby things. Meaning all baby things and outgrown clothing. I had tried to do this before we moved out of our Hartland home, but tried the vacuum seal bag route, and decided I hated them. So now I went back to totes, all properly labelled! Much better!

Matching Stool/Chair...
Thank you, Thank you....to Nana and Papa for the matching stool and chair for our island and computer desk. When we moved into our Hartland house we got the 2 outside stools as a housewarming gift. And we decided we needed another stool at our island because we had the room for it, but the ones we had previously picked out were discontinued, so we found a style to compliment what we already had! They look great. Sorry the picture of the computer desk chair was taken at night with no natural light, therefore it looks yellow. But couldn't post without it! Therefore our sitting areas are now complete thanks to a housewarming gift from Nana and Papa! Rowan loves them! She has only fallen off once....so far!

Back for Dinner...
After our zoo trip we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Knutson's house for some afternoon fun and dinner! We got plenty of outside time even after the zoo. Blew some bubbles, drew with chalk, lots of walking outside, playing ball (with and without Colby), and eating popples too. Rowan even got an Easter gift before heading home for the night. We had a lovely dinner and then about 730pm (late for a girl who only slept 30 minutes in the car after the zoo) headed for home. And she fought the sleep idea until about 8pm, then she was out for the rest of the ride!

Stomping back...
Yesterday Rowan and I took a trip back towards our old stomping grounds to meet up with some friends and family.
We started the day at the Milwaukee County Zoo, with Andrea and the boys (Breyson and Sawyer), and Desiree and Teagan! Desi and Teagan were in town from CA visiting and house hunting (no not in WI, they will be relocating in June to Virginia) It turned out to be a wonderful day to spend at the zoo. A bit breezy at times, but overall beautiful. The kids were all well behaved, and us mommys got some time to chat and catch up. Not quite as much socializing as we were used to before having kids, but we managed!
We were in the lion exhibit right when the female was super close to the glass, so got a few fun pictures of Rowan and Breyson with the lion! Sort of scary that close up!
Age recap: Breyson 22 months, Rowan 20 months, Sawyer 4 months, Teagan 3 months!

Crystal's baby shower...

was full of babies...
Rowan was the oldest one there! And many of the people in attendance hadn't seen her since Crystal's wedding or bridal shower, when she was only 8 weeks old! Now she is almost 2! Yikes!
Anyway, we made it back from MI in plenty of time for Rowan and I to attend the shower. Rowan had lots of fun. Emma (O'Hern) was there with her mommy, Erika. Emma is 6 months old! Andi brought Sawyer, who was all smiles (4 months old). And Teegan (Desiree and Erin's baby) was in attendance too with his Aunt Dina! So our table had a hard time paying attention to the rest of the happenings, but were all in all very well behaved! Kenadee Grace Grulke is due to join the rest of the crew May 30! Can't wait to meet her!
Kissing cousins...
Of course whenever the kids were doing super cute things, our cameras were with not ready or not even available, so these pics are super fuzzy, but very cute despite!
On a side note, Rowan and Kieran played very well together. Occassionally they got a bit crazy, but no major up-roars between them. They shared well, and when they didn't the other one didn't notice, so it was fine. Rowan was trying to give Kieran his coat when we were leaving this morning, she wanted him to come along! And Kieran was upset when they told him that Rowan was leaving today! Super cute! Too bad we are so far away, but truly the drive wasn't horrible!
Busy weekend in MI...
Not really sure where to start with our fun filled weekend in Michigan...
We arrived around 430pm on Friday, headed to the beach for some playtime for the kids knowing that the weather on Saturday wasn't going to be near as nice. Then we got some pizza to go for dinner, and continued the playing back at Blayne and Molly's house! Rowan maybe napped 40 minutes on our way to MI, and Kieran's nap was short too, so they were a bit wild and crazy and overtired.
Saturday we did many fun things. After breakfast and showering, we colored Easter eggs with the kids. But honestly neither of them were overly interested, and Kieran was waiting and waiting for Rowan to show up so he could color eggs. Oh well! Ed and Blayne were more into making the brown eggs than anything! Boys I tell you!
When the kids were napping, we hid eggs for them to hunt for when they woke up. But due to the extreme number of eggs, and the one room we used to hide them in, there weren't so hidden. Then to make matters worse, we got bored waiting for them to wake up, so we all started eating the candy out of them. There was plenty to go around even when they awoke. After the egg hunt, us adults played some pictionary! Molly and I killed Ed and Blayne.
Grady is such a wonderful little boy! Rowan was very good with him, and with his toys too. She found it necessary to test the bouncy seat out several times. She even helped him bounce when he was in it! When we were out and about, Grady just slept and kept quiet! At home he was very spoiled, by the BH (me, the baby hog as ed likes to call me). It's been so long since we've had such a little one around! I thought I controlled my baby hogging very well! Everytime I held him, Rowan was crawling on my lap to hold him too!
Saturday evening we tried out the new indoor carousel in St. Joe. Rowan wasn't a huge fan at all until the very end. And we were there right before closing, so the kids only got 2 rides. You can tell I took her on first, and she hated it, by the end of the second ride with Ed she was finally smiling and waving!
