Just Because..

On Friday afternoon, Ben came home with these roses for me! I just wanted to post a pic, as they are blooming so beautifully!

1st Week of Little Munchkin's

Well the first week went great and just like any new career it takes some getting used to. I am adjusting well and I am really enjoying it! Jack is also enjoying seeing me more too. Oh and by the way, he's officially walking everywhere now, he started out very slow and wobbly, but now it's full speed ahead. It's so nice because he can get anywhere he wants! I guess that can also be a bad thing too! : ) We also purchased a quad stroller and I am glad we did! It gets us out of the house for a walk and the kids love it. Well I hear a child waking up. Here are some pictures of our first week.

Last week of corporate work..

This is my last week of working in a corporate setting, before I start my daycare business on Monday, August 31st. I am really looking forward to this new chapter in my life, but it's going to be a drastic change. I know that I will be able to adjust, I just wonder how long it will take? The one major thing I am worried about is going from working with adults everyday to interacting with children everyday. That will be a huge change! I will probably need to get out of the house when Ben comes home from work on those tough days! I am however, SOOO excited to be home with Jack. The past 15 months have been wonderful with him, but I know that I have missed so much of his life working outside the home. In doing daycare, I will be able to see him everyday and make an income too. So it's the best of BOTH worlds!! I am so blessed to beable to do this and can't wait!

My Little Munchkin's Daycare!

So much has happened since my last blog. This has been in the works for a long time, but not everyone knew until, Monday, August 17. I quit my job that day and I plan to start a licensed daycare in my home! Ben and I have been working so hard over the last couple of months to get everything in order for our licensing visit/fire inspection and the hard work has paid off!

Yesterday, I had my licensing visit with Dakota County and it went great! Now we just have to wait for the fire inspector to come next Thursday to sign off on everything and given there are no hiccups, I will be licensed and IN BUSINESS! I already have two kids signed up and starting on, August 31st and I am so excited for this change. ;) Here are some pics of took of the daycare. If you know anyone that needs a quality, Christian daycare for their little ones, (we are located in Burnsville) please let me know!!

Jack took 4 steps tonight!

I got home tonight to find my little boy taking 4 steps towards the sunglasses I had in my hand! He was crying the whole way cause I kept moving away from him, but he did it! I was so proud of him, I started crying with amazement! It was such an awesome feeling. With the progress he's making, we'll have him walking in no time! Will post a video soon :)
