Pics of kids from Easter...


Easter is alot more fun when you have kids, however it's hard to make a child understand why we infact celebrate Easter. This year we did the whole Easter basket and egg hunt thing, but we also tried to make the kids aware of why we celebrate (as a Christian family). We read a book (that they got in their baskets) about Jesus and how died and then rose on the 3rd day (Easter). I think Jack is starting to understand, however, Henry is still pretty young and the candy and treats is a huge distraction. I want to be able to continue the traditions I had growing up, but also want my kids to understand the reasons behind it. Does anyone have any suggestions to incorporate both?

Almost 36 weeks...

On Thursday I will be 36 weeks. I also have my OB appointment that day to check my progress. These last few weeks have been going so sllllloooww!

My Little Munchkin's Daycare - Shutting Down Shop!

After lots of thinking, we have decided to close down the daycare permanently when the 3rd baby arrives in May. I am way excited for this new transition, however, it's a little scary that I won't be working during the summer and earning an income. We are going to have to be a strict budget!
I am however so excited to stay home with the new baby and Jack and Henry during the day and my future plans for the fall are to get my Certified Nursing Assistant certification and start working in the medical field on a part-time basis, while going to school and caring for the kids. Because I am going to school for nursing, getting my CNA is highly recommended and it will allow for some good experience in the field and hopefully will help me get a good job once I get my RN. I will miss the daycare kids and their families but am very excited for this new chapter!!
