We got back Sunday afternoon. It was one of the worst drives ever & a reminder why I don't like traveling in the winter. There was maybe 500ft of visibility, blowing snow (tons) and slippery roads. Then it turned into sleet while temps were under freezing and then we finally caught a little break towards the end. All in all, a 3 1/2 trip turned into a stressful 5hr trip, but we made it back safely. It is nice to be home.
We surprised my parents, literally. My parents were out of town when we came into town, so we had time to plan our surpirse. We had the kids jump out of the closet at them. It's always a little difficult going to a new place for more than a few days b/c it takes the kids a few days to adjust (especially Kiersten), then she adjusts and we come home & she has to adjust again. The weather up in Traverse City was pretty nice for most of the week with temps in the 40s. We had fun and it was a nice break.
I finally finished unpacking and am now trying to get over a head/sinus cold. I had to take a benadryl to help me sleep last night and Benadryl always makes me a little groggy in the morning. Hopefully I'll be up and running in a few days and will have more time to post some pics later in the week.
Other News:
Peter is ready for kindergarten (we have kindergarten roundup next week already). He can count beyond 100 and is already reading and writing short phrases and words. He is really good at remembering directions and numbers (like dad).
Kiersten's vocabulary exploded this past week. She was always able to say words and a lot of babble, but she is now speaking in short sentences on and off. Of course, it is helpful when you're child #2 and have a big brother who is always showing/teaching you new things too! She is our little princess and quite the drama queen too!
