So I've been meaning to post forever, but life has been a little busy! Between trying to move, work, raise a 15-month old, and stay sane, there hasn't been a lot of free time lately ;) We move into our temporary apartment on June 4th, close the sale of our house on June 15th, and then hopefully break ground on the new house shortly thereafter! We are so excited, but also really anxious for it all to be done so life can get back to normal around here. Tate is ridiculously fun and curious about everything. He has about a dozen words and is exploring the world at breakneck pace (at least it feels that way to us). It seems as soon as he learned to walk (a little before his 1st birthday) he was ready to try running and climbing and jumping. At the end of the day we are all worn out ;) Here are some photos of Tate over the last few months:
"Hi Dad!"
"Papa always helps me fall asleep":
Tate loves his new penguin hat from Mimi & Papa!
"Look, Dad, I'll keep your hat warm until you need it":
Below are some great photos our friend Mandy took for Tate's 1st birthday (on Feb. 6th, yes I know it took me forever...). They're so great; thanks again Mandy!
Tate and Mommy all bundled up to go fight for state employees' rights:
Swim lessons!
Early spring day in the park:
"Why, yes, I am the cutest train conductor there ever was":
This is a video of Tate "jumping". He's so proud of himself, despite not leaving the ground ;)
We've had some great birthday and Mother's Day celebrations this year, and we look forward to a great summer and seeing as many of you as possible very soon! We'll be sure to have everyone up (or down) to New Glarus once we are settled there, hopefully by Christmas!
Take care,
Meredith
