The Excitement of a Child



These beautiful ladies are Jocelyn, Jesse, and Raychel. This was back before Christmas. I had a great time at their family Christmas party.

As previously mentioned, I keep four kids after school. They are a great blessing to me. I have learned patience, kindness, and friendship from my experiences with them. I have also learned that the love one has for a child is incomparable to any other love. These are not my children, I have not known them all that long, but the memories we have made will never be forgotten.

Gracie, my little swimmer, missed the bus on Friday. She and Madison ride the bus from the middle school to where I pick up their sibling at the elementary school so I have a one stop pick up. Well since I didn't know that she missed the bus and no one could find her I terrified. I had shed a tear and was one second from being a blubbering mess when she came walking in the door, also crying. She was afraid that I had left her. I tell "my kids" all the time that I would never lie to them, that I love them, and that they mean a lot to me. *This little athlete swam 200 laps of the pool Saturday for a swim-a-thon! Way to go Gray!

Jack got another crown yesterday at the dentist and was very excited to show me.

Madison and Riley told me all about their Disney World adventures! They had a great time! :)

Jonathan and I had "date night" last night. Nothing too exciting because, after Christmas and holiday traveling, we are both quite broke. We went to his city-league basketball game. Got McDonald's on the way back and then watched a movie. We had a good time, just being together. ♥
