Our first full month back in Nebraska is in the books!

It was a rough start. Getting here took a lot to recover from sleep-wise. We also had to muddle through the first half of the month with the Mister back in Clarksville for his VA appointments and the movers.

Our house finally went on the market. We’ve had several showings, so that’s a positive. It’s still a little bittersweet, but hopefully, it’s a fast sell so we can get started on our next chapter.

We tried to keep some normalcy with a Home Depot workshop. We also went to see Grammys and Gramps.

They were so excited to finally meet Baby Girl. And Little Man was, of course, excited to ride the Gator with Gramps and really liked showing Grammys the peppers and tomatoes.

Then, Little Man had his school open house and started kindergarten. I don’t know where time has gone!

He was a little nervous going to school. He got sad and said he missed his house and his friend Nolan. But once he got to school and started talking to his teacher, he completely forgot we were there dropping him off. Thankfully, the Mister was back in Nebraska to walk with him. He really missed his daddy.

He has been working hard to ride his new (to him) big boy bike. He’s scraped his knees several times and swears he won’t ever ride it again, but we know better.

He also finally got his glasses. He rarely wears them (which is why I ordered the least expensive ones I could find) but he seems to enjoy them when he has to.

Baby Girl also had a big milestone accomplishment lately. She rolled from belly to back all on her own! She was mad as hell doing it, but she did it and has kept doing it.

I have a hunch it won’t be long and she’ll be off and moving. If we can get her rolling back to belly, she can start sleeping on her side/belly which will definitely make her happier. She already rolls to her side almost immediately when I put her down for the night.

The rest of the month was a bit more low-key.  We celebrated both my parents’ birthdays and got to see Lindsey and Darrell a couple times.

We watched Husker football and volleyball on television.

Then, we tried out Sunny’s in Odell for soft serve. It’s this small shop that’s only open in the summer a few hours every week. They only have 2-4 flavors at any given time. The gentleman who runs it just does it for the community. It’s a cute little shop and was quite tasty.

In other, not fun news, we switched regions for Tricare so I’ll be scheduling Baby Girl for her 4 month appointment soon. This will be the first time any of us have seen a civilian provider away from a military installation basically since we got married, so I’m anxious to see how it goes.

Next month will bring picture day at school, parent-teacher conferences, and the official end to the Mister’s army career. We’re looking forward to what comes next and hopefully we will figure out some fun fall things to do in the next few weeks.

Until then,
