Well, our lives are topsy turvy right now. On Chris' first day of work, he was asked to move to Minnesota rather than Chicago. Crazy, right? It will actually work out great because Minneapolis is closer our family. Plus, the taxes are cheaper there. I will continue to stay home with Tyler and Allison full time. Some days I think it would be nice to go back to work. :) But there will be time for that soon enough.
Chris left for training in Chicago at the end of September. I am on my 4th week as a single parent. Wow is it hard! Most days, the kids don't nap at the same time leaving me with no time to myself. I am really cherishing after 8 pm right now. Allie has become Ms. Mobile. She pulls up on everything and can stand alone by herself. She has also become much more demanding. She is able to tell me more often what her needs are. It is great on one hand and much more difficult on the other. The first week that Chris was gone, we went to the pumpkin patch with Tyler's presc
hool class. It is very difficult to take pictures while trying to corral the two of them. Chris came home last weekend and we celebrated his birthday. He is going to have more birthday fun this weekend when his good friend Scott joins him in MN. Here are some pics of the pumpkin patch and Chris birthday cake. Tyler picked it out.

Amber,
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are great of the kids, I can't believe how animated Allison is getting. The Dinosaur cake I'm sure was a big hit. All is well here in Philly, crossing my fingers on the whole house-selling thing at this point as well. We'll see how it goes. Give Tyler and Allison a hug and a kiss from Uncle John.
John-
ReplyDeleteThe dinosaur cake was a huge hit with Tyler. He kept checking the fridge to make sure it was still there. :) We are hoping for your house to sell quickly! Then we can all be back in the Midwest!
