Oh this crazy, crazy life!
I thought this family picture was pretty good until I saw Brian had his eyes shut! We were trying to get a picture with Uncle Chris and Aunt Kristin but Jimmy had had enough!
Jimmy is in daycare! Yep... Our dear friend got sick and had to enter the hospital. During this time we had to do some soul searching. We didn't know how much time she would need off and so we scouted around at a couple of places. The Goddard School downtown had an opening and we decided to take it. It hasn't been easy! Our friend who was watching the boys is doing great and started back up at her previous nursing job. It has been sad to have the boys separated and to give up our friend watching them, but the age difference was starting to show and we just felt they both (and we) needed the stability.

This has all been incredible stressful but the boys are doing good and we are just thankful our friend is doing great and was able to get her previous job back! Onto other things...

Mom came down for another visit. She hung out here for awhile. After Jimmy started at day care she still stayed a couple days and did some cleaning and cooking! Yippee for us!

Last weekend we went back to Kenton and Jimmy got to hang out with all his cousins. Boy do those girls spoil him! I didn't have to do anything but change diapers. The girls love hauling him around and chasing him. They all were red in the face from all the bopping around. It was nice to see them and to spend some time with Judy.

But this weekend has been the first weekend in awhile that felt pretty chill. Jimmy is cutting two top teeth - and it hasn't been easy. He has been grouchy and not sleeping well. Then on top of that he (should have been expecting this!) caught something at daycare which he shared with me. Needless to say, we haven't totally been on our A game. Yesterday Brian went over to our rental property to do some last minute work (new tenants move in tomorrow!). Jimmy and I ran a couple of errands and had lunch out. We got back and both of us took naps. I think I slept far harder then him. Traci and Chris brought us all dinner and hung out for an hour or so. Jimmy went down by 8 and I think Brian and I were right behind at 9!

Today we all felt a little better so we headed down to Hocking Hills. We really should take advantage of that area more often. It is an easy drive and so beautiful. Brian and I were dreaming about our future house out in the country. We'll see! Lovin' Hocking Hills! Kisses. Splashing around down the bend from Old Man's Cave.
