We moved. It was just over a month ago that we loaded up our truck and headed back to Chicago. We had a very nice truck. If you look really closely, you can see that Addilyn is pretty excited to be riding the first leg of the trip in the truck with Daddy. As moves go, it was a fairly exciting trip. We ended up with 3 out of the 5 of us coming down with the stomach flu on our two days of driving. Apparently we have mastered the average move and now it was time to try for something a little more challenging. Luckily we all made it to Chicago and were all feeling much better within the week (although it did go through all but one of us).
Goodbye house. We already miss your garage and designated playroom.
Fast forward a couple of weeks to Addilyn's very first day of school. She was pretty excited (and oh, so cute!).
Here she's showing off her backpack and lunchbox (which is shaped like a hippopotamus head). She's so proud of them.
We were trying to figure out the lining up system outside Addilyn's designated dropoff door. There were so many parents and kids. Lots of excitement and quite a bit of chaos.
Here Addilyn is standing in her designated line. Tyler was standing with her for a while but could feel that she was embarrassed by his presence. That's when I realized that our baby girl was so ready and would be totally fine.
She seems to enjoy school quite a bit and loves to keep a tally of all her teachers (so far she's counted at least 6). After a 7 day break for the Chicago teachers' strike, we all seem to be settling in to our new routine.
