Alabama Trip

So I've been up since 3:30am so this will probably not be as long as I want... but I'll try! I know I'll be too busy all week between work and packing up to go to WI for Labor Day weekend... so I'm going to post while it's on my mind. That being said, it is now officially "head up to WI every weekend the sun is out" season so I'm getting ready to hold on tight!!

We had a BLAST in Alabama. Timmy Ray & Timmy Lee are both settled and happy at home with Grandma & Grandpa Adams. Timmy Ray is going to a school to learn aluminum welding to work on the fishing boats down there. Timmy Lee is in "school" and has made new friends already. He is confused about the whole moving thing but has seemed to adapt well. That being said... he has not changed a BIT. Mak & TL did not skip a beat. They played great together and especially enjoyed the beach. We all jumped waves and played on the beach as often as time would allow. We also made several trips to the pool each day!! We are excited to have such a beautiful place to visit. Timmy Lee has a tractor that he drives around the yard for hours and he also helps with the garden!! The Adams' home is BEAUTIFUL and such a perfect place for a three year old boy.

It is still hard to not have him here in IL with us, but we were very happy to see them both smiling and enjoying Alabama. We do have plans to bring TL back to IL this summer and we'll have a big BBQ so that everyone can see him. Timmy Ray was attached to Mak all week, which was rather cute. We had our times where one kid or both kids would get tired and there were several emotional times but we made it through. We knew the first trip down would be the hardest and we're glad that it went so good. I know Tammy would have had a blast too but hopefully she was watching us and laughing at our crazy attempt to adjust to yet another change!! This past chapter of our life has been hard, emotional, crazy yet also memorable and has brought us so much closer as a family. Hopefully there is a happy chapter coming up and this would be a great start to it!!
