And They Call it Puppy Love

Boy oh boy did our boys miss each other.  When Oliver came home from the dog sitters Jackson and him spent the entire day catching up.

By the second day it was back to normal ... Jackson trying to pull Oliver's tail, Oliver hiding under the crib.  It's good to be home :)

Kansas or Bust

Wow- the past two weeks have been crazy for the Teach Family.

Jackson and I left on January 31 for a visit with family and friends in Kansas.  The main goal of the trip was to help my brother and sister-in-law move into their new house.  I was excited to see family and friends and also excited because Kansas has been having exceptional weather lately- I was hoping for a very warm, snow-free trip :)

Jackson did amazing on the plane (both to Kansas and from Kansas).  I think part of it was because we purchased him his own seat and the other part was because we bought an Apple iTouch so he could play games and watch movies.

Vroom, vroom ... 

Enjoying the view

Once we arrived in Kansas I got right to work helping my brother and sister-in-law pack up their old house and clean the new house.  The day we moved into the new house was one of the coldest days this winter (of course) and it even started to flurry a little that night. 

Jackson went to his cousin Kendall and Grayson's daycare a few days during the second week we were there so I could spend some time unpacking the new house.  I wasn't for sure how it would pan out, but he walked right in to daycare and started playing.  

Jared flew into Kansas on February 9th and we spent that weekend with his side of the family in Hope and Salina, KS.  We were able to attend Jared's cousins basketball game.  After the Boys B Game we let Jackson run around on the gym floor and he thought it was pretty cool.  

So fun!

After our weekend visit with Jared's side of the family, we headed back up to my brother's house to spend time with my parents.  

Jared had to attend some work meetings in Kansas City, so Jackson and I spent the last few days we were in town at my brothers.  Unfortunately, we came down with colds and I ended up getting the flu.  I took Jackson to the dr. in Kansas City the day before we left to get him on some antibiotics so he wouldn't get any worse on the flight.  Heather (my sister-in-law) came with us to KC and we ran some errands and went to Nebraska Furniture Mart to shop for the new house.  

Since Jackson didn't feel well on the trip home, he slept most of the flight, which was amazing.  The flight wasn't full so we ended up with a whole row by ourselves.
