We love summer in Chicago. By the time July rolls around, the heat is almost unbearable in Arizona and we find ourselves counting the days until we can surround ourselves with green grass, wildflowers, and all the wonderful familiarities of home. With Dot’s birth in June, we weren’t expecting to head back to the Midwest until the very end of August, but as luck would have it, he’s an incredibly easy baby and we felt comfortable hopping a plane with him a full month earlier than planned.
Having two children is certainly an adjustment, but Baba was an absolute superhero and made my life practically stress free for those two months. I was able to have one-on-one time with Ben daily (we really tried to work on socializing him in preparation for school) and snuggle, feed, and get to know Dot without the disruptions of a toddler.
We will cherish these memories forever 🙂
