Well, most of these pics are from my day babysitting :) But what else is there to take pics of these days?? :) We walk to the "park" (the playground at the community clubhouse) nearly every day the weather is nice. I have really come to love these kiddos and am so thankful for the opportunity to watch them and interact with their family. Kenzie is 16 months old and should be walking (she can) but refuses to :) The most steps she has ever taken is 30 and that was for me :) We know she can do it, but for some reason she's waiting. So I guess I should be thankful as crawling doesn't let her get into quite as much trouble as walking would :) She's a huggable, loveable bundle of fun! One of her favorite things to do is to blow kisses when you leave. SO precious! She also knows how to melt your heart by cuddling up to you when she knows you are going to leave her. It kills! :)
Jackson is 4 yrs. and is changing SO much from week to week! I LOVE listening to him ramble on as he becomes more and more confident in carrying on real conversations and is able to comprehend more. Its been a joy to seem him change and learn to respond to my authority as well. He acts so much more secure now that he is finally understanding our roles. He is much more expressive in his affection now and always makes sure to give a big hug when I leave him (especially at nap time- though I think that's to delay the inevitable :) and says "my love you too!" ;-)
The other pics are from the Australia Team reunion & dinner last Wednesday.
Been staying busy. I've been sick for about 9 days now. Thought it was allergies to begin with so I just let it go thinking it needed to run its course. Allergies shouldn't keep you from doing what you need to do, right? Now I've got a big mess of a cold and maybe a sinus infection. Slept until 1:30 today!! David came home a couple times throughout the day to check on me and help me out. Lord willing I'll be going to the doctor tomorrow to find out exactly what's going on and maybe get some antibiotics. Not fun. I really don't like going to the doctor, but after feeling like I have the past couple days I'm ready to do about ANYTHING to get well! :)
Well, I finally got around for the day at 2:30 when David came home and helped me. I'm feeling much better after a shower (think the steam helped clear me out a bit), but I need to get something done before David gets home from work in about 45 min :)
Thankfully I don't work until Monday- and that's just the house cleaning job for about 4 hours. Doesn't take as much energy as watching 2 energetic munchkinds for 9.5 hrs :)
My down time has allowed me extra reading time, etc. so I've been thankful for that. The Lord is richly blessing my time with Him and I praise Him for it! Oh! We finally got around to making our bathroom coordinate this week :) Maybe I'll put some pics up in a few days when I finish it.
Better run for now. Love to all, Naomi
