Day Care

Hi,
I am happy to say that I am getting another day care child. A very cute little girl. She will start in January and I will have her 3 days a week. She did very well with our noisy kids and Drew wasmaking faces at her from the start. I am very excited that my business is going and I haven't advertised yet! YEAH!!!
Have a great week.

Hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving. We went to dinner at Mark's uncle's farm. It was beautiful out and the kids were outside most of the day. They slept well on the way home. Friday we hung out at home and made some crafts. We weren't brave enough to go out and shop!

Then later Owen woke up screaming and we couldn't figure out what was wrong with him so we had a quick trip to the hospital and found he has an upper respiratory infection, viral so no meds. We decided that since three of them were coughing already that we had better not go to IA and share those germs with our family. With all the babies, Mom just finishing chemo and getting radiation, and Grandma, we kept the crew here. They have been laying around and didn't get dressed until 3 on Friday. It is Saturday night and all four of them are coughing and have a runny nose.

Ken has been very busy at work this week-end, 2 babies this AM and then another 8 hours. Some how he managed to get the posts in for the fence out front. It should slow Drew down a little bit!! Hopefully we will get it finished tomorrow.

Monday I have an interview with another family. YEAH!!! They are new in town and I was the 14th person she called. If it works out that would be great.

Hope everybody had a safe trip home and got to eat a big Thanksgiving meal.

Wishing All A Happy Thanksgiving

No Pictures

Hi, It is hard to believe that I don't have any photos to put up yet. We have a had a busy four days. Ken was off on Thursday and Friday, so Thursday Abbie and I had shopping day and ate ice cream. It was a lot of fun. the boys got groceries and we very excited to ride in Dad's truck (our explorer.) Friday we went to the Cities and got some stuff from Rosemary and Mark's garage and met Ken's Dad for lunch and headed home. Saturday Evan had hockey and Drew went to skating lessons. Abbie decided to stay home and didn't want to go and skate. We got some things done around here and Sunday off to church. Ken worked on the holes for the fence in the front and will get the posts and cement in this week and then finish it next week-end.
We are heading to IA Friday and will have Thanksgiving there on Saturday. We are going to a family farm on thanksgiving day and then will come home and enjoy the rest of the day.
All for now.

Summer or Winter???

We went from 80 on Wednesday to 8 inches of snow on Thursday . The kids are having a great time in the snow. Another crazy week-end but thought that I could get these on quick.

Skating Lessons

Hi,
What a beautiful week-end!! We had a busy day on Saturday with Evan starting hockey at 8AM. Then the twins went on at 10:30. They practiced this week just walking on their skates and loved it. The ice was a different story! Abbie cried the entire time amd finally the teacher gave her to me and said "we will try again next week." Andrew did great! He had a girl that was holding his arms and he was all over the ice and smiling and having fun!
Then Evan, Ken, and I went to a hockey game last-night. They lost but it was a lot of fun. Evan is getting very into it and yelling and cheering. It is really fun.
We missed church since Ken was doing surgery but we got out the park this afternoon. It was so fun!
No school tomorrow for Evan so we are going to get out and enjoy this nice weather while it lasts. I am going to get Evan on his bike again and the other two also.
Have a great week!

I am a licensed Day Care Provider!!

Hi,
I had my inspection, and as of Monday I am licensed! YEAH!!! I don't have anybody knocking down the door for a spot so I can get the kitchen painted. I am excited to get going.
We went trick or treating last-night at the Mall. The kids had a great time and got lots of candy.
Ken is in Rochester today for a conference and tonight we have a hockey meeting. Ken will be Evan's head coach and I am going to be the team manager. The twins started skating lessons on Saturday and now have their own skates. I will get some photos this week with the digital camera. Last week we had to use the antique camera, with film!
We are planning to stay home this week-end. Ken is on call so we can get somethings done here and ready for winter. It is 26 right now.
Have a great week!
