\n too. Are you telling me that a week between updates is too
\n long? You are, of course, correct. I’ve just been in a pretty
\n crabby mood lately, and not really motivated to write. I’ve
\n also been trying to update the photos.datdec.com site. It’s not
\n ready yet, but someday soon you’re going to get a plethora of
\n photos for your viewing pleasure :) Now its early and I’m
\n chilling (its 39 degrees outside, gotta turn on the heat soon!)
\n so I’m just going to copy and paste from an email I sent to
\n Grandma yesterday. How’s that for lazy? :)<\/p>\n

Things here are going ok. I still have just the one kid
\n and just a few days a week. He’s 19mo and pretty easy. I have
\n to be registered to take more than 2 families, so I have that
\n in the works. I also had a visit from a woman at The Child Care
\n Project in Hanover. They are
responsible for home
\n visits and education and stuff like that. A great resource for
\n both parents and childcare providers. They typically do one
\n visit before you are registered and one after the
registration is approved. The woman was really nice and
\n had a ton of info, but also pointed out a few things that I
\n need to change to be fully up to snuff as a childcare provider
\n (different sleeping arrangements, fencing, age appropriate
\n toys, etc).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I got a call from
\n King Arthur Flour about a position I applied for many weeks
\n ago. The position description sounds great, so I went in for an
\n interview last week. KA would be a sweet place to work, if I
\n have to go back to work. The HR woman I met with was nice
and things went well, but she said the position may have
\n morphed a bit since it was advertised. She also said they were
\n interviewing a few other people and would be in touch towards
\n the end of this week. Sooo…. my brain is going a million
\n miles a minute about possibilities and pros and cons and blah,
\n blah, blah. I give myself a headache :)<\/p>\n

So, on that note, I’ve decided to take the kids to
\n Franklin for a few days. Packing up and running home to mommy
\n is a legitimate grown-up solution to life’s problems, right???
\n (Just kidding mom, it’s just a visit, I promise!) Alan has been
\n working all the time these days, so we’re going to leave him
\n home and go on a little road trip. I’m excited. I thought maybe
\n a change of scenery would do me good. At least give me
\n something else to think about for awhile. <\/p>\n

The kids are doing great. He is so smart and funny, and
\n I’m pretty sure he just had a growth spurt. He looks like such
\n a little man now. She is growing bigger and starting to get
\n mobile. She turns herself around on her back and reaches for
\n her toys. They are so cute when they play together. He makes
\n her laugh. She is eating solids now (avocado, sweet potatoes,
\n baby cereal, and bananas). They also both like to talk, so
\n there’s never a quite moment in my house :) She’s on the floor
\n now jabbering away. <\/p>\n

Ok, gonna find a
\n few photos to put here and then go get Lex (he’s been awake in
\n his room for awhile now). Love you all!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
