Goodness where to begin. You can tell it’s summer in Michigan. The rain has finally slowed, flowers are up and the kids are restless, lol.
Last weekend I had to go to Chicago for work, so my parents were nice enough to pick up the kids on Sunday so that Dave and I could have a nice “date” night in Chicago. It was the first time we’ve been away from Noomi, plus the kids stayed at my parent’s house, but they reported that the kids did wonderful. Both zonked out and slept all night. Ajax helped on the farm (what a hard worker) and Noomi yelled at the dogs. You know when she was a smaller nina I was a little concerned that she didn’t make much noise. Of course this is in comparison to Ajax, possibly the world’s loudest child. Luckily she has found her voice and she is now a rival in the loud department.
Anyways, Dave and I had a wonderful time in Chicago and it was very nice having some couple time. Our drives were also easy as we took a creative route home, winding through back streets through south Chicago until we hit Indiana. Probably not the safest route, but at least we weren’t stuck for hours on the Eisenhower.
Fast forward and this past weekend Dave met his cousin at my folk’s house in Brooklyn to go turkey hunting and then the kids and I met him there later on Saturday (he was up and out the door at 3:30 am). Ajax again had a blast working on the farm. He raked hay and fed the horses, he washed all his dump trucks, and stepped in every mud puddle. Noomi was a pistol and zipped all over the place. She is getting to be quite a fast crawler and kept yelling at the dogs. She also met the horses, but didn’t seem that impressed.
