OH Boy

So this picture doesn't really belong to this post, but it is just so darn cute.  This is a shot of the kids sleeping in Aunt Tina's truck with their cousins Nicholas and Thomas.  This was on the way to Aunt Tina's house after we exhausted the kids at Buffalo Wild Wings (does anyone else remember these being called BW3s?).

I don't have a new picture to post, because I haven't downloaded any photos, but we did make it to Ohio.  Brian stayed for a long weekend and is now back in Chicago (we miss you Dad!).  The trip was uneventful and the kids, bless their souls, have adjusted to living at Grandma and Grandpa's very well.  Thanks much to Grandma and Grandpa for all of the help.  Mackenzie and Isaac are actually sleeping in the same room and are really doing very well not waking each other up and, for Mackenzie, going to bed quietly. 

I am enjoying my new job.  It looks like my first project will be a PeopleTools upgrade and an upgrade for PeopleSoft's learning management tool.  I know that I am a total geek, but yay PeopleSoft.  I feel like I am back in my comfort zone.  I find it funny that at the same time other members of my team are working on an ADP upgrade and a Kronos upgrade which we had been (finally) planning to do at Alberto before I left.  Everyone at First Solar has been extremely friendly and positive.

Mackenzie loves her new school.  I think that she was really ready for a change.  However, we all miss Granny's Corner and the wonderful women who worked there.  I get misty-eyed thinking about what a fantastic job they did caring for Mackenzie and Isaac for such a long time and how they knew my kids personalities better than anyone.  Isaac isn't adjusting to the new day care as well as Mackenzie, which was to be expected since he isn't quite two yet.  I am hoping that by next week he will be used to the new environment and he will be the energetic handful he normally is.  Today on his report card they marked that he was emotional, which broke my heart. 

I think that is it for tonight.  I am exhausted so I am going to go sit in front of the TV for a while with my father-in-law before calling it a day.  To everyone in Chicago, I miss you and think about you often.  Hopefully I will get you see you soon.
