We are here!

Well, obviously, we have internet! I called the guy on our drive to Milwaukee Friday and he came that afternoon to hook it up! I was so happy! Now I can start blogging again and catch up on all the tv shows I missed the last month while I was MIA- p.s. for all of my Bachelor-watching friends... I just watched the finale... HE CALLED HER MONKEY WHEN HE PROPOSED!?! I was so embarrassed for her! Not my choice of pet names, though I did appreciate that they explained WHY in the world he calls her MONKEY! Anyway, so I still have to watch the Lost finale, but I thought I would catch up on blogging first.

We have a wonderful location here! You never know when you rent a place sight-unseen... when they say right on the lake... is that 5 blocks away? And how close to the bus route? Well, all expectations were exceeded! We have a little bridge that we take right outside of our apartment to Lake Michigan which we visited multiple times Friday and Saturday. The bus stop truly is right outside our door. There is a Walgreen's and Papa Johns 1 block away. So we are pretty pleased. It took me 45 min. to find a grocery store downtown on Saturday morning... but we finally found one! The Children's Museum here is amazing! The park by the lake has something going on every weekend (yesterday there was a coast guard helicopter parked and Nate got to sit in it! A dream for this 2 year old) and the beach is only a 5 minute walk! We are looking forward to a great summer! Visitors welcome:)


Jen, unnamed 6 mo. baby in that belly (shirt is very loose- the baby is not that big yet), Nate 23 mo. checking out the lake park after moving in Friday night

Nate loves snow cones like Chris... he wouldn't share with Dad!


Almost asleep after playing in the park all night! Walking back to our apartment

The Beach!



Too cool to swim, but we had fun playing in the sand last night

Hey Jen, it's great to hear from you. Your blog is great, and you look wonderful. Nate is so adorable. Congrats on the second little one you're growing. Did Chris tell you I saw him on the plane out to Durham? (I made a quick 26-hour trip there to look at the home and interview for a job.)

Enjoy Wisconsin for the summer. Mark and I have enjoyed living in La Crosse, Wisconsin this past year. We have great friends who were in medical school in Milwaukee, and they loved it there.
