We are getting close to the move time, and that brings me to the computer to begin the ‘movers’ search. I thought I’d jot down a quick update in the process.

Eric had a great trip to Chicago, and I had a great couple of days there with him as well. We stayed out late (late for me 11pm) and indulged at restaurants and consignment shops and had a blast with our friends.

Rochester,  Minnesota came next. It was a gloomy day when we arrived and I had moments of intense anxiety as the town was deserted and the first few places we saw weren’t what we had in mind. We found a natural foods co-op and it began to improve from there. The next few days were warm and sunny (unseasonably though) and we found a great house that we settled on. The neighborhood is awesome, super awesome park close by and a bike path to the grocery store and points all over Rochester. We’ll be very happy there. Mayo has a foundation funded by “Mrs Mayo” from way back when, for a Mayo Families Connection; which is an extensive support system and activity hub for med students/residents/fellow’s spouses…..

maxi awakes, have to beat eric to his door!

I was planning on getting a nice update done, but i’m too tired and going to bed. Eric left today for Chicago, I join him Thursday, then we both go to Rochester (minnesota, what a pain to have to say/type that everytime now) for 5 days to get aquainted and look for a place.

My max update quickly;  realized that i created a monster with not letting him feed himself with a spoon long ago. He is 17months old and still wants me to do it. We began a feeding protocol on Friday and have made some progress. But the moment he gets frustrated, the spoon goes flying and so does everything on it, i have been able to catch the bowl, and the new bowls i bought for him today have a suction thingy that is semi max proof.

this kid is amazing and hysterical and sooo smart. but we all know that, so i wont go into detail now. should have some new pictures soon. they are in the computer at least!
