So, I pretty much feel like this all the time. Apologies for the few and far between blog posts. Maybe when the summer is over and M is in school again we will have more time? Probably not :) </div>

<br />Anyhoo, the summer is almost over and here's how we have spent it so far. In June I took a trip to NYC with Claire to visit Bridget for her birthday. It was so much fun! We also went to Florida to visit some good Army friends. The weather could have been better but we had a great time. July has been busy with (almost) daily trips to the water park and eating the first veggies from our garden as well as Caddie and Laila's birthday party and visits with Grandma Judge. August's big event is the wedding of Rob's little sister Emma in Chicago. Its going to be a fantastic event and we cant wait to welcome Larry to the family!</div>

So here are the highlights from April. We celebrated Charlie's 2nd birthday, started soccer with Maggie and Caddie (Coach Rob and Coach Brendan :), and Maggie had her first dance recital. <br />
<br />
Charlie had a small family party and owl cupcakes with some of his baby friends while Sissy was at preschool. He is an active, silly little guy who always makes us smile. He LOVES all sports, especially football and baseball and is constantly throwing, kicking or hitting something. That's not always a good thing!! His language has exploded in the past month and he is really able to communicate now. Its been so much fun to hear his thoughts finally. He is still a great sleeper though doesn't want to go to bed before the sun these days. Who can blame him though? His favorite movies are Finding Nemo and Rio, he loves peanut butter, cheese and any kind of baked good. He is still a little tiny thing coming in at the 2% for weight and 10% for height. What a guy!<br />
<br />
Maggie seems to enjoy soccer but really loves going to dance class. Imagine that! Her first recital was so super cute and made me realize just how much time my own Mom spent waiting for me as I danced through my childhood. Thanks Mom!<br />

Its April in Michigan and its snowing. Lucky for us, Easter was Sunday :) This year was the first time EVER that Rob and I spent Easter together in Michigan. Crazy right?? We spent Saturday and Sunday in West Michigan and got to enjoy lots of sunshine. The kids got to play in the sand in Grand Haven, get ice cream and enjoy the "hot pool" at Nana and Papas. Maggie and I spent some special time together in church on Sunday before a super fun Easter egg hunt. There is something about babies in sweet spring clothes and new green grass that makes me want to jump for joy. Although the sugar buzz wore off around 6pm and they both cried for 2 hours straight, I'd call the weekend a success :)</div>

She had a really fun weekend including cupcakes and a surprise visit from Aunts Claire and Bridget at school and a Hawaiian themed party with family on Saturday. She was the perfect Hawaiian princess thanks to "Auntie" Sally and Caroline who sent goodies all the way from the Aloha State. Charlie even joined in the fun with his authentic Hawaiian threads. Maggie continues to thrill us everyday with her humor, creativity and imagination. Her teachers report her as a very social little girl and she loves spending time with her friends at school and her cousins. She loves playing at the park, singing songs, playing dress up and creating imaginary scenarios to act out (all.day.long). She is still very strong willed though is really starting to be a great help around the house and with Charlie. Her favorite colors are pink and purple and she loves sweets of all kinds and seafood (she chose Red Lobster for her birthday dinner) :)<br />

Two weeks ago we went out to Laingsburg to cut down our first ever real Christmas tree. After years of using our artificial tree, I finally convinced Rob to get a real one. We stopped at Tom and Becky's house before heading next door and had a very special visit with the family. Maggie drank hot cocoa with Becky and demonstrated her Irish dancing skills for Tom. The kids loved seeing the animals and riding in the big tractor pulled wagon to find our tree. Maggie even helped Rob cut it down. I am so excited to begin family traditions that will continue as we celebrate Christmas in Michigan for years to come. </div>

Winter has arrived! We got our first snow right after Thanksgiving and it was a wonderful 8-10 inches. The kids were so excited but Charlie only made it outside for about 10 minutes before he ripped off his mittens and decided he'd had enough. That was, of course, after 30 minutes of getting them bundled up. We got a little more snow this morning and I am remembering how slippery it can be, especially in our neighborhood. Maybe we will be sick of it by next month, but for right now I am really loving our first winter back home.

So a little update on everyone:<br />
<br />
Rob is enjoying his new job and we are so glad to see him a lot more than we used to!! He is also loving all of the fun work he has to do now that we have such a big yard. Who wouldn't love driving that John Deere around and building bonfires though? He ran the Lansing City River Run Half Marathon with Jess last month and finished with a respectable time :)
<br />
<br />
I am meeting lots of great girls, thanks to Maggie's preschool and a local MOPS program! I am still sad sometimes and miss our Army life but being in Michigan during the fall (FOOTBALL SEASON) has been so exciting and fun. We have been able to see the Spartans play, watch the marching band practice before home games and tailgate. I am still struggling with what I should be doing/involved with here but am just trying to focus on my number one job and savor these quickly passing moments with Maggie and Charlie.
<br />
<br />
Maggie is doing well in Preschool and I am thrilled with the program she is attending. The teachers are so sweet and it is such a caring and fun environment for her to be in. It is amazing as ever to see her brain growing and she is really interested in letters, pirates, dress up and riding bikes with the neighbor kids these days.
<br />
<br />
Charlie is running, climbing and jumping all over the place. He is still not talking that much but has picked up lots of signs (as have we) thanks to some DVDs from the library. His favorite sign is "candy". He LOVES playing outdoors and follows his big sister everywhere. He is such a sweet little guy!!
<br />
We have been very busy with lots of visitors, already seeing Dad, and both Emma and Bridget twice since we moved in. The kids also got to spend a fun weekend with the Crowes while Rob and I were able to see a movie and have a date night at Lansing's Oktoberfest with Brendan and Jess. We are so glad to be able to see them and the girls frequently and of course, my Mom! She has dinner with us regularly and the kids couldn't be happier to see her! Oh, and Maggie is requesting I mention her awesome racing in the Dino Dash at MSU. She is so proud of her medal and we had a great time being active with some friends!<br />

What a crazy few months it has been. Here's a little summer...<br /><br />May<br />- Rob finished out his job with the 911th and we had a tearful Change of Command mid month<br />- I visited Bridget in NYC over Memorial Day weekend. It was SUPER!!<br /><br />June<br />- We packed up our house and loaded the truck. All of our things headed to storage<br />- We drove both cars (with some help from Aunt Erin) back to Michigan and moved in with a very gracious Mom!<br />- Looked at 15 houses in 3 days and made an offer on a house!<br />- Spent lots of time at the zoo, Impressions 5, and water parks around Lansing<br />- Celebrated the bithdays of our beautiful neices<br /><br />July<br />- Spent 4th of July in Grand Haven. Maggie loved the fireworks!<br />- Visited the Jamiesons up north and remembered why we love Michigan SO much!<br />- It was HOT!<br />- Stressed over the house but finally...<br /><br />August<br />- Closed on the house! Yipee!<br />- Had a wonderful week on the Outer Banks of North Carolina with the Judge Family<br />- Got the keys to our house!<br /><br />September<br />- Moved in to the house, still unpacking<br />- Maggie started Pre-School!<br /><br />Being home in Michigan feels fantastic! I am still sad about leaving the Army and missing my friends in Virginia, but it is really great to be so near to family and finally be able to have a place of our own.
