Trip to Ohio

This weekend Shelley, Grandma, Bella and I took and road trip to Piqua, OH to meet someone from the group that Shelley is planing on going to the UK with (if you would like to know more about that, check out her blog). It was about a 8 hour drive so Shelley and I took turns driving. Bella did great in the car. She loved being with all of us the whole weekend. I made her a little bed in the back seat and she snuggled right in. She also did great staying in her first hotel. She is such a spoiled little dog...but I can't help it!!

This was our hotel. It was great because it was connected to a little mall that was nice to go walk around in for awhile. It had a few places to eat around it so we never really left the parking lot.

We didn't have much time to do anything since we got there Sat. evening and left right after Shelley's meeting, but we sure did find a good place to eat. We went to BobEvens for dinner on Sat. night and had a great meal so Grandma and I decided to go back for breakfast this morning while Shelley was in her meeting. It was a good weekend, but I am glad to be home!!

Girls Night

My friend Melissa invited me to a girls night for a bunch of girls from church and it was so much fun! We decided to make s'mores over the gas stove. It was a interesting way to do it but it was great to laugh over. It was nice just to get out and be goofy for the night!
After we were done making s'mores, someone started a marshmallow fight. It was a nice way to keep clean but still have fun.

Bath Time

Sorry it has taken me a few weeks to update. I forgot I had these pictures on my camera until today when I went to take a picture. These are when I went over to Shannon and Josh's house and had a wonderful dinner and got to help with bath time. It was the first time I got to see Lydia help bath Joshua. Then I got to have a few cuddles from him while I got him ready for bed. I love these kids!!!

The last few weeks of work are going great! We are still getting used to the babies as well as them getting used to up, but so far there have been no problems that were a surprise. It feels so nice to have a full class and not have to worry about getting pulled to a different room like my old center!

Up and running

Monday was out first day with kids at work. So far it is going wonderful! It is a little strange to be left with babies you don't know, but it didn't take long before Amanda and I got a good routine going in the room. Here are a few pictures of our week. We did an "All about me" theme this week and let them paint with their hands and feet. Most of them loved it but you could tell the babys that had never gotten their hands in paint before.

This is lunch time. I think it is so cute they all have their little chairs.
Those are just a few of out adventures this week. We are able to have 8 babies in our room at one time but this week we have been having 5 or 6. I has been nice to have a smaller group to get used to things and starting next week we have a few more families starting.
