rain rain go away

Despite the week of rain and cold here in Neenah, there must have been a dry day or two in Oconomowoc because there has been some progress. Yay!

Rowan is awesome because...

...because there were a few weeks in winter where the kids got a bit unruly and mean to each other, they started a daily routine of saying something nice about each other. This is what they all had to say about Rowan...one of them said, she is pretty....and it was a boy! Watch out for Wyatt!

And since it had been awhile since we had the camera out, we snapped one of the million dollar children!

neighbors

We got to play tonight with the neighbors for a bit before dinner time. The kids love getting together and making a mess. Next week will be our last rendezvous before we move! We sure will miss our neighbors, big and small.

eddie's girlfriend

Sloane is so sad that her boyfriend is moving away. Too funny that she tells her mommy that Eddie is her boyfriend. Nothing like a little dress up after lunch. At least he went for the black version this time. Soon enough he will have Rowan into the boy stuff instead of him in the girl stuff!

The Brewers

We made the trip back today in the afternoon for a few reasons. We took a load of stuff to Nana and Papa's house in preparation for moving. We stopped by the house to see how the building was going. And then Ed and I went to the Brewer game in the evening.

 

The kids loved walking around the building site. They didn't want to leave. We were able to meet a couple that will live 2 houses down from us. Talked with them for quite awhile. So that was nice, they were very welcome and had many nice things to say about the area and neighbors. They have 2 kids that are about a year younger than both Eddie and Rowan.

 

Pictures are on the camera, to be posted later. 

 

We arrived at the Brewer game right as it was starting. We parked in general parking, so had a hike to get into the game, and a hike to our seats. So we got some food and beer and watched an inning or two, met up with Mitchell and visited with him for a bit. Had another beer and some flavored nuts and then were on our way home. We didn't want to get home too late since I was on call at 7am. So we picked up the kids from Nana and Papas and headed home. We pulled in about 10:30pm and were off to bed.

movin' up...

Rowan graduated today from Eel to Ray in swim lessons! Initially Rowan's teacher thought she might benefit from one more session of Eel, but she did so well in class today that she last minute decided to pass her onto the next level! Too bad she will be doing that at a different YMCA with a different instructor. Hopefully she does just as well there.

 

Eddie actually graduated too, from Goldfish to Sunfish!

And another new house picture while we are at it.

Another house update. Ed stayed in town tonight, so he swung by to check on the progress. Pretty exciting. He even met one of the neighbors!

Our address stone came in this week too, so Ed picked it up after work tonight!
