Family Photos!
I'm not sure why I forgot to post our family picture ... It was freezing cold but we'd been dying to shoot at this old homestead so we seized the VERY small window of opportunity before Christmas cards had to go out and this is what we came up with! Not bad for doing it all ourselves!
Spring has Sprung!
Spring is in the air -- even though the weather hasn't quite caught on yet.
The girls were healthy for about 3 weeks, but are again fighting snotty and stuffy noses =( Nothing near as bad as it was a month ago, thank God!
Easter was a blast! The girls were so much fun to watch, running around looking for their eggs! Claire would get so excited and grunt and growl whenever she'd find an egg! (Family picture to come) And I was so happy that Easter Sunday was such a GORGEOUS day! Sunny and warm ... Mmmm!
What's that saying about Spring?? "In like a lion, out like a lamb." Something like that? Well that seems to be very fitting for us this month. I received a letter on April 11 informing me that I had been turned in to the state for unlicensed childcare. My thoughts at that moment? "Well, yes. I do run an unlicensed daycare ...... I thought that was legal as long as I was within these certain conditions!" Well it's not! Now I know. And now I am in the process of making it legit. The last week has been quite the whirlwind of emotions, but I've reeled it in and taken charge! After making list after list and checking off all the necessary boxes, it's just a waiting game now. We're in the process of REALLY child-proofing the house - inside and out, building an appropriate outside play area - shout out to my Dad for the fencing materials! - I've scheduled my TB test (tomorrow), I have my CPR/AED, first aid and blood born pathogens course on the 25th in Tri-Cities ... ALL DAY, Cory and I have the Family Home Care orientation on the 27th in Spokane, food workers cards for the pair of us online sometime between now and May, Cory gets to take a 20 hour basic education course (hehehehe!), then our first home visit with my licensor is scheduled for May 22! Due to the circumstances, and what an amazing and sympathetic and understanding lady she is, my licensor is fast-tracking me and says I should have my license within 2 weeks of our home visit! Thank God, again, for my ECE college classes and 9 years of child care experience!!!
