Life In Madison

On Monday we arrived in Madison ready to begin our new journey in Madison for a year!  Andy will be attending graduate school at the University of Madison.  We are thrilled to be back in the Midwest and close to family and friends.  Andy and I had the chance to leave Drew and Claire with Andy's parents for a week while we unpacked FOUR shipments of house hold goods! When we arrived back this past weekend for the first time with the kiddos everything was put away, pictures were hung, and sheets had already been washed.  We were so grateful and by far this has been our most organized move, with not even a box in the garage!

We packed out in Spain the month of May, so it had been a long time since the kiddos had seen any of their toys!  When we walked in it was like Christmas morning!!  The train table we had put in storage before we left for Spain, to this was new to the both of them!

I think if Andy and I were to settle down in the Midwest we would choose Madison as our city.  The city has SO much to offer from festivals, parks, lakes, farmer markets, and our favorite hundreds of miles of bike trails! 

This past Saturday we went on a bike ride to the large farmers market around the capital!
