Another birthday party...C turned 5 today. It's hard to believe how fast time flies; C was just a few months older than Ty is when I started working with him. C, his sister K (who was 6 months old at the time), and their mom and dad had just moved back to Iowa from Texas and were temporarily living with Grandma and Grandpa (friends of mine). I'd just decided to quit teaching to stay home with Ty and called my friend Kaye to see if her daughter-in-law, Tami, was interested in applying for the K position I'd left. (Tami had been a K teacher in Texas). Tami had been considering staying home with the kids but, when I agreed to care for them , she decided to teach. My house was in the process of a remodel, so I spent the first 2 1/2 months of childcare at Nick and Kaye's house with C and K. Seems like a lifetime ago (another life really). Fast forward to today...the little boy who was sleeping in a crib and shrieked whenever his baby sister got too close to his things, is now 5 and will start K in August. Makes me realize how quickly the time will go until Ty turns 5!
Note to Lucille and Bev...I finally responded to your Thursday comments...didn't want you to miss it!
Owly Man has the flu, was up and down all night and early morning, is sleeping now so hopefully on the mend. Tonight is the Wartburg/Luther BB game, BIG rival! Jenn did not go into work this morning and may go in at 4, been in the bathroom since she got up at 9. We had around 5" of snow overnight and more to come tonight and tomorrow with some freezing rain. I shoveled my half of the driveway so I could go for coffee and then proceeded to back out over the unshoveled drive behind the pickup! Hope you are enjoying your day off, Farm Girl. Butrfly Lady and Lu, how are you both feeling by now?
ReplyDeleteOwly Man says it was something he ate at the potluck we were at last night. He left for the BB game, crazy man! Farm Girl, did you read the front page of tonight's paper? Encouraging all who have not had a flu shot to get one, please, don't wait til Fall! It's 8 hours and Jenn is still in her "office".
ReplyDeleteHey Diane! We made it...seven whole days and no one sick! I'm feeling lucky, so I think I'll wait until fall for that shot. Besides, spring is just around the corner!!! Or is it?
