Not much new

Well, there really is not too much to report. Jerold had his last day of work on Monday. Hopefully things will go as planned and he will be returning to work in May sometime. That is pretty much a bummer for the next few months. I told him that I will need to take on some extra kids so that he can work for me. He did not think that was too funny.
Alex is doing well. She is growing like a weed still. I have come to realize that she is going to be a tall girl. I am going for a volleyball player or maybe basketball. I am not sure yet. She thinks that she is going to be a go-kart racer. I wonder where she got that idea from. I told her that it is still up for discussion and that we have a while before anything is decided. She is pretty much my tomboy. Alex is getting over a cold that she has had for a couple of weeks. I will be glad when the weather turns nice and I can air out the house. It is time to get rid of all the cold/flu germs.
The daycare has been going well. I have been keeping busy. I took on a little one recently and I could not ask for a better baby. He is such a good little boy. I will be glad when it warms up to let the kids outside to burn some energy.
Today we have not done too much. I am playing catch up around the house and we are watching the Daytona 500. It is that time of year again. Jake is doing better. He still limps every now and then. So, we are going to keep him in his kennel a little bit longer. I will be glad when he is out of that. Then I will have part of my kitchen back. Well, I guess there is not much else to report. Hope everyone has a great week.

Been Awhile

So, it has been a little while since my last post. Not much has happened since the last time. Alex is doing well. She has had a cold that of course went straight to her chest, but she is starting to get over that. Jerold is starting to get a cold, so he is getting grumpy. Other than that, we are doing well. Alex has her preschool screening today. So, I am closing up shop early. It will actually be nice to be done working before 5:30. I think that we are going to go shopping in Bloomington tonight for a couple of things after the screening. Alex loves to go shopping. Also in the past couple of weeks, our niece Paige turned 1. How exciting! Here is a picture of Alex trying to gather all of the balloons that were at the party. Alex really did not care about much other than the balloons. I think that it was a good time had by all.

Jerold found out a week ago that his lay off is going to be longer now. Instead of 7 weeks, he is going to be laid off for closer to 14 weeks. Great! We are looking at what we can do during that time that he is laid off. Hopefully things will fall into place. I have already started my honey-do list for him. I am sure he will find something else to do though during that time.

Jake is doing well. He has been kenneled for a couple of weeks because of a limp. The doc said that he probably sprained his shoulder or he has a bone spur that had gotten broke off. Hopefully it is just a sprain. Surgery will be required for the bone spur. He seems to be getting better. He does not limp like he used to. One day at a time.

Here is a picture of Alex in one of her many different outfits that she got for Christmas. She likes to wear this one to Sunday School. She calls it her twirly skirt. Well, I guess that is it for now. Until next time... Have a Happy Valentine's Day.
