We're finally one big family again!  The drive up to WI was actually easier than expected it to be.  It was just an endless DVD-playing fest.  Sonny was so excited to see Ben when we arrived (as was I, of course).  

Our new apartment is very similar to our Atlanta condo.  Although it's only 2 bed/1-3/4 baths, instead of our 3 bed/2 bath, it's only 100 sq. feet smaller, so Ben tells me.  It's been pretty easy to adjust to it.  The rooms are just bigger.  And we have a garage for one of our cars and a storage space, too.  Didn't have that in the ATL.  Sonny does miss our pool, though.

Sonny and I have made it through 4 days together so far with only 1 small casualty (cut to the swing picture to view his forehead injury).  We have taken several trips to the nearby parks.  There's a spray park a couple blocks down the street with a pond that houses a few ducks and a playground.  Across the street is a smaller park, but a little more fun for Sonny since his new favorite thing to do is to walk over there to watch the boats launch into the water.

We are working on finalizing a daily schedule for the 2 of us.  Of course, I'm not one to get excited if we eat lunch a little later or skip an activity, but I am still figuring out all of Sonny's cues to see what we need to do next.  I know it's never going to be a final schedule, but getting one established is hard enough, I've found.

So far so good...
