Updates...we are still living in Lismore. For now. Jason will be transferred some time around November. We don't yet know where. It is very frustrating because we would like to be able to plan, especially since Elise will start preschool in the fall.
Speaking of Elise...she is four! She turned four on the 7th. We had a small party at our house in Lismore, with our little family, my mom and dad, and our friends Amy and Richard who drove down from the Cities for the day. It was a fun time. On the 14th we will have a larger party with more friends and family at my mom and dad's.
It was a big week, turning four. Elise had her first dentist appointment. She did just great, sat with her mouth wide open even when no one was working on her! She has some cavities, and the family dentist recommended we see a pediatric dentist for that. So in a couple of weeks she will have another appointment. We have to go to Sioux Falls to find a dentist that is covered by our insurance (it is an hour drive).
Elise also had a check-up at the doctor. She is 3 1/2 feet tall (45%) and 34 pounds (50%). Elise is more than ready for school, and I can't wait until she starts in the fall because she REALLY needs more stimulation and experiences than I can give her (I'm afraid she gets bored with me). In the meantime, I try to keep her entertained with library story time once a week and on the 23rd she starts gymnastics once a week. The beginning of April she will start swimming lessons once a week. And hopefully the summer will bring even more opportunities for activities to keep her mind and body occupied.
We have had some beautiful weather in Lismore in the past month. Several 40 and 50 degree days. Last week I know it hit 60. We had a great time playing outside, riding bikes, going for walks, and generally exploring the outdoors. It brightened all our moods!
