May has been wonderful!
Claire turned 9 months old and she is doing everything that she is supposed to. The doctor smiles proudly at her when we go in for her well visits and always rights “just fine” on the check-up form we take home for her baby book.
If you want to stay totally updated on what she does and is doing, check out my facebook. I get on there at least a couple of times a week and always have new pictures to share.
My dream of daycare is getting closer and more realistic. Our fence was installed a couple of weeks ago. The forest of a back yard we had last summer is now becoming a yard, place for people to spend time and kids to play without gets stung by a nettle, snagged by a blackberry bramble or lost in long grass. It is so cool and rewarding to have this kind of home-improvement project!
Our guest room has been changed into a playroom for the daycare, all the outlets have new covers, the fireplace is gated around, the stairs have gates, the steps out front are lower, clutter has been organized, a security system installed, a bunch more fire alarms put up, a landline added to our phone plan and still I feel there is more and more to do.
This week I sent in all the paperwork to get licensed and yesterday I got a letter saying it has been received and to expect a call from the licenser to set up an appointment to see our home!
Wednesday Claire and I set out into the world to put up flyers for our daycare. We walked down to the Lummi Ferry dock, boarded the ferry, payed our $4 ticket to cross and off we went! Claire did really well and we got all of our flyers up. I was amazed by the island. It was its very own miniture community. It has a library that is just open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It has a store that has everything where the kids are there by themselves and the store keeper is the one to keep track of the kids. It was so cool.
Just last weekend Justin and I went on the Weekend Getaway that I won last month on the radio. We had such a good time! It was the first time we have gotten away since the Honeymoon…so, almost two years ago. We got to have dinner at a classic diner and spend the night at a wonderful, local bed and breakfast. It was about a $300 dollar getaway made possible by KAFE 104.1…all for being caller number #10!
I think I am going to go take this chance to take a nap ’cause Claire is still sleping nd I gave myself a head cold from dusting and cleaning.
