Our Week in Michigan

After the long drive, we had a really good time in Micigan. We were there for a week and it was really nice to have a few extra hands to help out with the kids. My parents helped a lot with the feedings and they also gave Ben and I the opportunity to get out and do a lot of things by ourselves. We spent a day shopping at outlet stores about an hour a way from my parents, and we also made a stop at Bronners, the world's largest Christmas store. We also went out to breakfast one morning, and went to a Detroit Tigers game. Also, on our last day there my parents said they would take care of the kids in the morning and would let us sleep in as long as we could in preparation for our overnight drive. So Ben and I slept in to 11 a.m. - - it was great! I cannot remember the last time I slept that late! So needless to say Ben and I had a good time.

The kids also had a good time. Olivia learned to roll over shortly before the trip so she became a rolling machine while in Michigan. She even learned to roll over in the pack n play while she was sleeping. She finds it quite entertaining, but we don't when she gets angry from being on her belly and does not know how to roll back over. We end up having to go flip her every time she gets angry which typically ends up being at around 3 or 4 in the morning. She now sleeps on her belly every night! Alex learned to roll from his belly to his back while we were in Michigan too! He only did it a few times. He has not rolled from back to belly yet but it is not too far off. The kids also got to spend some quality time with family while they were there. They got to meet their Great Grandma Krajczynski and got to see their Uncle Dave again.

Here they are with their Great Grandma:
And here they are with Uncle Dave. Olivia enjoyed her time so much with Uncle Dave that when Grandma Krausman took her from him to feed her, she cried so hard that you would have thought someone hurt her in some way.
