Happy Birthday Amanda!

Happy Birthday Amanda! I don't have a recent pic of you to put up, but we wanted to wish you a happy birthday!

Dogs and Babies

I made potato soup for dinner last night. Nothing weird about that, but the weird part was while I was peeling potatoes. Now when I peel potatoes I just try to get it done, with most of the peelings landing in a bowl, but some of them do end up on the floor. It is easier to pick them up when I'm done instead of picking up every little piece that I drop when I drop it. So back to last night. I was sitting at the table, peeling potatoes and Emily was swinging (that's how I'm able to peel potatoes, swings are great!) I dropped a few peelings. Once I saw Kendall come and pick one up, I assumed she was just going to eat it and didnt worry about it. So I kept peeling (potato soup requires a lot of potatoes!) When I got done, I looked into the living room. Evidently Kendall had made several trips into the kitchen while I was peeling the potatoes because there wasn't a single peel on the floor of the kitchen. They were all in a circle in the living room. She must have eaten the chunk of peeled potato I dropped, but just arranged the peels. I guess it was easier to pick them up off the living room floor than under the table anyway:)

Emily is now three months old and is startign to get some hair back...she rubs her head back and forth so fast she's rubbed a lot of it off. She has a bald spot on the back, but it will grow back. We thought maybe she was trying to look like Grandpa:) .Here are a couple pictures of her. It was cold so we had to bundle up for our weekly trip to Walmart yesterday

Church was tiring Sunday. One minute she was awake playing on the floor, the next minute this is what I found.

And it is looking very promising that I may actually be able to pull this daycare thing off. I'm still praying!

A Puppy in a Pickle

Ok, so last night, Kendall disappeared for a couple hours. Since I'd had to move the bed where the headboard is against the window for daycare, she's spent a lot of time laying in there. It provides a great view out. Now I don't know how she did it, but after not seeing her for a couple hours, including while we ate (which usually attracts her) I started wondering where she was. I hollered for her and heard a muffled bark. Ok, that made me curious. Exactly what kind of mess had she gotten herself into? I thought she was in the bedroom so I went in there. She wasn't where I thought she would be, but I could hear her collar jingling. I went to the head of the bed. I looked over. And sanwiched between the window (which was cold because the temperature had already dropped) and the bed, there stood a schnauzer. She could go backwards 2 steps and forward 2 steps but that was all the range of movement she had. So I put Emily down and managed to free the dog. Yeah, the bed that way is "safer." Anyway, today, Kendall has resumed her position on the back of the couch, I havent found her on the bed at all:)

Ok, and I had to add a couple cute pictures of a little girl that keeps outgrowing her clothes!

Another video

Here's a video of Emily from Wednesday.

Interest....but not til summer

I have had another family come look at my daycare, sounds very promising, but they don't need care until summer. I have another lady that said she was going to come tomorrow or Friday but she has never confirmed which day. She also doesnt need anyone until summer. A third lady said she would call this week to set up a time to meet with me, not needing anything til summer but she hasnt called back yet. If I could only find someone to watch between now and then, everything would be good.

Snow Puppy

It must make you feel good to go run through the snow when it is 6 degrees out. Maybe I should try that. Kendall says that I seem to have forgotten about her on here, so here's a Kendall picture right after she came in yesterday. She was covered in snow and running as hard as those little legs would take her (which if you've never witnessed is pretty fast!)
