Moved Back to the Mitten

Just over 2 weeks ago, we moved back to Michigan. It has been a very crazy time, getting everything settled, unpacked, and organized, but we are finally getting there! The kids did great with the move, and the long drive up here. Luke and Emmy are loving their new classes at school, and Luke is happy at home with me. :) Ray's new job is going well. We love our new house, and it feels really good to be back "home" again! A couple of pics from moving day:






I will update with some new pictures of our new place soon!

Happy Birthday Luke!

I am late posting this, since we were in the middle of our move, but our sweet Lukey Bear turned 5 years old on November 14th. We had a party for him a bit early at our old house on our very last day there - the house was empty, as the movers had come the day before, and we were blessed to have so many friends stop by to wish our little guy a happy birthday, and wish us well on our move. The kids had a blast running around the empty house, we had CiCi's pizza on Luke's request (specifically their macaroni and cheese pizza!), and a Super Mario Brothers decorated birthday cake. It was a great party - after it was over, we did a quick cleanup, then we packed up the car and left for Michigan!

We had another small party on his actual birthdate here in our new house with family - more cake and more presents. Luke also got to take cupcakes to his new classroom to celebrate. It was a busy birthday week for our kiddo!

He had his 5 year checkup at the pediatrician just this week (I am writing this is December) and he weighs 41 lbs, and is 43 inches tall - right at the 50th percentile for both. He is a healthy, happy kid! He loves his new school (he loved his old school too, so I was a bit worried). He seems happy here in our new house, and now that Aiden has gotten older, it is great to see my two boys playing together!

We love you Lukey! I hope that 5 is the best year yet! :)
