The first week of November our children's daycare informed us that Therese was still not adapting. They said she was sad/crying most of the day, she has not been back to daycare since. This did however cause quite a challenge for our family as Jackie was just starting a new rotation, Mark had a busy year to finish up and our "family support" lives about 300 miles away. After many long discussions and no good solutions, we decided to take the kids to Michigan to live between Mark's and Jackie's parents for six weeks. Mark's sister Amy and cousin Shelia agreed to help watching John and Therese during the day while Mark worked most of the rest of the year from Michigan. Jackie stayed in Chicago and finished her rotation but spent the weekends driving back and forth to make sure the family was together.
Thanks to everyone who help those long six weeks. Here are a few pictures that we took during those six weeks.

hmm i had no idea you guys did that... did it work?
It worked out. I have several projects with Ford right now so being in Michigan for work was convenient. It was hard when I had to travel though, the kids were left with the grandparents to care for them but they are all still working full time.
Thanks for the updated pictures.
I LOVE those kids and Mark and Jackie too. The first couple of days were a challenge getting used to a new lifestyle but it soon became old hat and we did fine.
I miss them so much and was glad we had the time to spend with them and get to know them better and Therese got to know us better.
