Well, it's been a lot longer than I'd planned since my last post! However, we've been very busy settling in to our new home in Holland, MI. We've gotten to see a lot of Oma, Papa, Aunt Christy, and her family. That's been so nice! I've gotten together with my mom twice to go to holiday craft shows and of course, we were all together for Thanksgiving, which was so fabulous. It's only 45 minutes from our front door to my parents' or sisters' front door. That's a little strange! I haven't lived this close to my family since I was in high school!!
We're settling in to our rental house quite well. It's a cozy place, right on Lake Michigan's lakeshore. We only have to walk about 1/4 mile to the end of our road and we're on the beach! I've attached some pics. It's absolutely beautiful. Perry enjoys walking the dogs down on the beach daily. There are also great bike trails all along the lakeshore area. Annika started her new new pre-school at Learning Tree Montessori the week after we got here. She loves it and is learning to read! She has also started ice skating lessons. She was moved up into the next class 10 minutes after she got on the ice! Not bad for never having been on skates before!! (Yes, I'm a proud mama.) She absolutely loves it and doesn't want to get off the ice at the end of her lesson. Jonas has transitioned very well. He doesn't seem to know the difference! That makes me a little sad because I would have like him to be able to remember Montana. Annika definitely remembers and asks often when we will be able to go back to Montana for a visit!
My job is going very well. I'm enjoying the staff and the physicians and a little less stress at work. There are still many challenges and lots to do!
Perry is getting to know the area and the fun things for kids to do. He's been to both local libraries, been to a great indoor play area with giant inflatable slides and play structures and last night we went to the indoor water park. We've also been to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum with my sister and her daughter, which is huge!
Anyway, better go. Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!

Looks like you are happy and I am glad for that. Sammi's figuring things out and MBJ is motoring ahead. Enjoy the Holidays and don't let those brain surgeons intimidate you.
