Ilija's first week in YNP


This has been quite an adventure for a 1.5 year old.  His entire life he hadn't been away from his mother for more than a handful of hours.  Then listen to the last 6 weeks.

Week 1- Packing up home, Grandma & Grandpa come, mom leaves for training, Dad puts on a conference
Week 2 - Mom comes home, grandparents leave, pack some more, mom & Ilija hop on a plane or two, arrive in Billings, hang out with Grandma & Papa fora night in Billings, all 4 drive to YNP, as soon as we get there mom gets apartment key, starts work including night meetings, end of week drive back to Billings
Week 3 - Week in YNP, weekend in Billings, mom working long days, Ilija playing with Grandma & Papa
Week 4 - Week in YNP, mom working long days, Ilija playing with Grandma & Papa, Thursday night and Friday in Billings, Daddy and Pirate met us in Billings, spent the weekend in the park with friends
Week 5 - Ilija home with Daddy, the guys hike a lot, mom gets time off for the 4th of July, family hikes, head back to Billings for weekend errands, visitings and playing in the yard
Week 6 - Week and weekend in park (wahoo! first one!), Ilija starts day care two times a week, other days at home with Daddy

Reading in his new living room.

As mention, we were lucky to get park housing and are adapting to living closer in a smaller space.  This is Ilija's little bed next to ours.  On the other side of our bed is pirate's bed. :)
