We have finally arrived and become settled (somewhat) in Wisconsin! The drive took us 3 days but all in all wasn't too bad. Drake was a trooper and didn't really cry at all. We are renting a cute little house that is actually up for sale. So, if this house sells - then we have to find something else. We are hoping that we won't have to cross that bridge any time soon. We are enjoying being in this house, especially since we don't have to share the washer and dryer with anyone!!! The neighborhood is really nice also. The actual city we are in is Wauwatosa ... which is a suburb of Milwaukee. We really like it here so far, so that is good news.
Chris started his orientation week at the Medical College of Wisconsin and starts actual classes on Monday. He is really excited to finally be starting school and can't wait to get into the groove of things!

Us at the White Coat Ceremony for Chris. This is where Chris and his class got awarded their white doctor coats and marked the beginning of medical school. Go Chris!
Drake is turning into a little trouble maker. Well, not really. He is crawling really well now and is pulling himself up to a stand on everything. Our whole house has hardwood floors so we really have to watch him. He has already had a couple of falls - but hopefully this will just make him tough.
We are already missing our families a ton and can't wait for Christmas so we can go home and see everyone. We were lucky to have both of our parents drive out with us and helped us get settled. It was super hard to say goodbye when they had to go back to Utah.
All in all, we are excited to finally be here and start our little adventure. I will try to keep everyone updated on what is going on with us (especially with Drake). Thanks everyone for all your help and we miss you all alot!
Here are some pictures of what we have been up to since we have been in Milwaukee:
Drake being silly.
THE DESTROYER!!!
My standing man:
Messy Drake after eating pured peas and carrots - which he loved!
Here are some pics of our house. I just realized there are none of the outside of our house, so that pic will come soon.
Our dining area.
Our family room which evidently doubles as a play room as you can see.
Our kitchen ... which has no dishwasher (i know, not so bad) and no garbage disposal (now that sucks!)

Yay, we've been waiting for an update! That is such a cute picture of you three at the "white coat ceremony." Chris already looks like a doctor. Drake is already looking so grown up! It makes me sad we are missing him growing so fast, so be sure to post lots of pictures. Your house is darling! Hopefully you guys can stay there a while.
What an adventure! Drake is getting so big!! and he's turning into a chunker! What a cutie pie :) Miss you guys- hope you're having fun!
