Milwaukee initiation.

After three long days in the car, we pulled into Milwaukee around 9:30 p.m. on Monday, May 21st. It felt SO good to be out of the car and it feels So good to be in the city that we will call home for the next two years. We are looking forward to it! And even more so now that we got to spend some time exploring. Based on past experience, we are thinking that the next 26 months are going to fly by, so we are determined to make the most of our time out here in the mid-west! So far, so good.

We live at the end of a very quiet
street and the boys love watching
all of the critters go from
tree to tree.

He is a champ.

And oh so cute!

We took a much needed break from an empty
house to go explore Lake Michigan. It is
beautiful!

We might not do much swimming, but
throwing rocks is ALWAYS a good idea.

"I'm Benji, King of The Sticks!"

"I'm Milo, King of The Grassy Hill!"

Our new favorite place.

#3 was a dream during our explorations.

Their first time blowing Dandelions.

Their new favorite past time.

Hairy Bear is our favorite.

"If I can't see Mom, she can't see me"

We found a park within walking distance
of our neighborhood. The boys
were in Heaven! 

Very creative, Miles!

Hide and seek in the backyard.
Watch out for Spiders!

The Oliver loves his Daddy.

We love the library.

A day trip to Iowa to see Ty and Amanda was
definitely worth more time in the car.

We love our boys!

Memorial Day parade

The bands were the boy's favorite part!

This man had all of us
mesmerized.

I love my lawn helpers.

Oliver is going to be a contortionist.

Poor Benji, got a stick stuck
in his leg. 

Puddle jumping is ALWAYS
a good idea.

"One, two, three....jump!"

"Mom, this one has a huge
clog-nation!"

Such an adorable, sleepy, boy.

I have no words but the pride on his
face says it all. We issue the
challenge to fit into this cupboard
to any and all visitors.
