Halloween Our last Halloween in Michigan was typical of the state: cold, dark and rainy. The combination limited us to a total of 10 houses, but Lila was quite happy to go back inside after making the rounds. Lexi did a few more but soon succumbed to the Michigan curse as well. Afterwards we took off the jackets and let the kids show off their outfits for a bit longer before calling it a night. At least South Carolina won't have the cold factor and we can hold out longer even if it's raining.

Baby Party With the last baby party having taken place almost a year ago, it was high time to have another. The age increases allowed this party to feature more chaos and a total dance party. Marco and Amanda were inducted into the group despite not ejecting the offspring quite yet, and seemed to enjoy themselves just as well.

Lucy Birthday Lucys first birthday was apparently farm themed, and Lisa picked a great venue with lots of animals. To be clear, it was not farm animals in a bounce house as the Senator is scheduled to provide, but it was pretty impressive nonetheless. I know for a fact Lucy had an absolutely awesome time because she never stopped smiling, and was quite thrilled with her smash cake. I also learned Marco is in fact the farm animal whisperer as he was inside and bonding with almost all of the animals at some point, while Lila preferred to enjoy them from afar.

I96 Fun Day Despite cold and rainy weather, I wasn't about to miss the opportunity of a lifetime. I96 fun day was possibly the only chance I'd get to run around an interstate with my kids for an hour (without getting arrested). Lila was initially hesitant with all my photo requests, but Lucy was happy to get out and crawl on the pavement. After Lila warmed up to the idea, I was able to get several good shots to prove without a doubt she was in the middle of an interstate. Hopefully Lila and Lucy can look back on this trauma free and tell their friends how irresponsible her father was even when they were a toddlers.

Lexi Birthday Party Continuing his one-upmanship, the Senator this year had an entire petting farm shipped to his house for Lexis 3rd birthday party. It was agreed the only way to continue this upward momentem next year was to have the petting farm inside a bouncehouse, combining last years with this one. All the kids had photo ops with a replica of Waco, Texas and of course went nuts over the animals. Lucy was handed around like a hot potato as everyone tried to squeeze the last few ounces of baby out of the girl who is quickly becoming a toddler.

Renaissance Fair With Tigerbomb in tow, it was time to make one final annual visit to the Renaissance Fair. Lila was quite impressed with all the offerings available to her, and Lucy didn't seem to complain so I can only assume she was equally entertained. Tiger and I both heavily tipped a mermaid in a glass box with bloodshot eyes as it didn't look very comfortable. Lila however got wide eyes and very quiet after seeing a real live mermaid, so the experience was well worth the tip. Some mandatory shots in the jail and the entrance completed our visit, the very last one to the Holly, Michigan Renaissance fair.

State Fair With Lila and Lucy clearly underexposed to farm animals, it was time to familiarize their olfactory senses with the rich combination of manure and spoiled milk that accompanies the state fair. I give Lila credit for the 20 minutes she was able to dedicate to looking at animals before moving on to the various face painting and fair ride opportunities available. She was even careful enough to pick the Mountain Dew car when it was presented as an option, making her father proud. Lisa was of course thrilled to watch Lucy while Lila and I made a point to ride every ride she was allowed on.

Moving Day With a closing on my current house scheduled for the end of August, it rapidly became time to vacate. So began the great packing day, which would become the great packing days. After ordering a single POD for the first weekend, it became clear we would would need at least two, if not three total PODS to store the 10 years of accumulated crap that Lisa and I now own. Fortunately our moving crew comrades were able to accomodate the additional weekend with more drones, inappropriateness and hijinks. Now that our crap is all packed up and waiting for South Carolina there's nothing to do but wait.

Having relocated to my dads house, and with our house (mostly) empty in preparation for our move south, I decided it was time to let Lila tour the empty house. I wanted to see if there was any pent up trauma waiting to surface. She seemed to adjust well after I assured her all of her toys were safe and secure, the primary concern she had. After that it looked like a healthy acceptance, of which this video will prove to any court of law pending Lila's future trauma lawsuit against me.

Great Flood of 2014Over 2.5 hours after leaving work, I'm finally home in what was second only to the great power outage of 2003 in terms of slow moving traffic. Every route I took seemed to have impassable water over the road, forcing a u-turn every 20 minutes. A mapping app that routes based on elevation would have been a best seller, and I kept kicking myself for not making one before heading home.
