Another weekend has flown by and here are the family updates!
On Friday, after getting the kids from daycare we stopped by Kroger and did some grocery shopping. I can honestly say that shopping is now easier with two kids than it was with one. Noomi sits there pleasantly and while she does try to grab things off the shelf, she does so quietly, so that’s nice. And Ajax is the best helper at the store. He loves to count out apples and different items for me.
On Saturday, we ended up doing quite a bit of running to a few different stores and then drove around the Grand Ledge area, which we thought may be a possible location to move to. Our landlords agreed to an 8 month lease so that next spring we can move to an area with better schools, as our little guy will be starting kindergarten in Fall 2014! I spoken to several neighbors, coworkers, friends, and teachers, and all agree that Lansing schools are deplorable, which means we need to move as we have not been able to come up with a viable educational alternative. Overall, although Grand Ledge was ridiculously cute, it was not the best location as it would put us West of Lansing making it that much farther for Dave to commute and putting farther from family. We’ll keep looking.
On Sunday, as we were all gearing up to leave the house it started raining and the weather dropped to a cool 63 degrees. After some discussion, we decided that Dave would stay home with Noomi and I took Ajax to Mason, MI, for the most awesome tractor fair, where we met my mom and grandma Flo. Ajax was so excited he could barely contain himself. He loved all the various tractors and could hardly focus. The only difficult part was when the steam engines started whistling. It was so loud that it scared the heck out of Ajax and he was about done. It took a lot of bribing to get him to calm down (grandma Mary bought him a new tractor). Overall, it was a great time.
