Haus of Kendi: The Bear Den #3

A lot has been going on over here. The biggest being I got a job in MI! We moved at the end of April. My dad came down with the RV so Gunnar wouldn't have to make that long drive up 75 in his car seat. We were able to pack our clothes and Gunnar's things in the RV so we would have them right when we got home. All our other stuff wouldn't be arriving until a few days later. Gunnar said goodbye to all his daycare friends. I actually cried when we said goodbye to his teachers. Then we said goodbye to all my new lab friends with a trip to the bowling ally. Gunnar was a big hit with everyone and he loved watching his daddy throwing strikes.

Now that we're a little more settled into MI, Gunnar is going to be starting swim class! I'm so very excited about that. He's going to do one lesson with Kevin and one with me. I really wanted to participate and we were able to find a school that offers classes on the weekends. Yay!

I'm also hoping to get him into a music class. Trying to find things that will be as exciting as daycare and break up his day at home with daddy. I feel kinda guilty for taking him away from all the excitement of daycare, but I'm not sorry he won't be sick any more. We all got really sick the week before we moved. Gunnar stayed sick and Kevin had a relapse while the movers were loading up the truck. When it rains, it pours! (Which it also did while we were trying to load the trailer...) Now that Gunnar is out of daycare, I've noticed a HUGE difference in his health. The pesky cough that he got two weeks after starting is finally gone. And Kevin and I are feeling much better too. I'm not sure if it was daycare or Florida that was making us sick. But I'm sure glad to be back in my state. I'm still an advocate of daycare, don't get me wrong, but with all the health issues we had while he was in it, and this stupid anti-vaccine movement, I just got more and more uncomfortable with him being around other kids. I'll feel much better after he turns one.

Speaking of turning one, I've started planning Gunnar's first birthday! I'm so excited. I have the cake booked and the theme picked out. I found invites, favors and decorations. I figured out the food and overall layout I want, plus came up with activities for the kids. Now, I'm looking for a location to make my vision come true. I can't wait to August...

Cheers!
