A week after Christmas, we took off to Texas for Ryan's accounting internship at Grant Thornton, Houston. We took three days to drive down and loved the extra time to not stress (and swim in hotel pools!) We're spending time with each of Ryan's siblings while we're down here.
Ryan is mostly enjoying his internship - though it's solidifying his plan to get a PhD and become a professor rather than working in public accounting. The hours haven't been bad so far, so that's been nice.
Jack is loving all the cousins (friends! attention!) He's walking behind his walking toys and has learned to navigate the stairs (not without mishap, though, sadly). He is busy eating everyone out of house and home and is pretty much the new favorite person of all the cousins.
I am enjoying the great weather (60s and 70s, people!) and the time to spend with family. I made my second ever IKEA trip the other day and have had fun painting and projecting and hanging out with the sisters in law. We just started a little clogging class with all the nieces - which is pretty much the highlight of my week now :)
