It's amazing how much little stuff you have to do to start a home based daycare! Jaime and I attended the required orientation last week (an 8 hour class). Although we thought we had most everything done in order to get licensed, it turns out we still have quite a bit left to do. It's all good though because it'll make our house safer for McKenna and any other kids we might have in the future no matter what happens with the daycare.

I've almost got my router fence built in my shop. I took a few hours on Sunday while Jaime and McKenna were taking a nap and got quite a bit done on it. I haven't had any time what so ever to do anything in the shop lately. I still have 2 projects in the works left to finish (McKenna'sToybox/bookcase and the Dining Bench/storage).

McKenna is a little a little over 4 months old now! Crazy, huh? Time flies. McKenna is in the 90th percentile for her height now at 26-1/2" and 13 lbs +/-. Yeah, She's advanced.
We've all been pretty sick lately still. A long lingering cold left over from the flu we had (and caught from McKenna's daycare) in February.

Jaime is enjoying working only a few hours at night (not to say she doesn't work at home during the day, but she actually gets paid at night). She gets a lot done and doesn't have to deal with many interuptions. I'm enjoying my one on one time with McKenna during that period also. We play and dance and rest and I'm able to feed her every night as well. We're still trying to work out the car scenario, it's a hassle putting McKenna in and out of the car seat and running to and from work every couple of hours to drop off or pickup people. I drive to work in the morning at 6:30am, come home from lunch at 11:30 and Jaime & McKenna drive me back to work at 12:15 and go back home. Jaime returns with McKenna at 5pm to swap and I drive back home w/ McKenna and return to pick Jaime up at 8pm. It's quite a bit of driving in a short amount of time and really adds up on the mileage. We used to go through a tank of gas every 1-1/2 to 2 weeks, now it's one every 4 days or so, although we only live about 10 miles from work. I need to get my truck into the shop to get it more reliable, or get a second car I guess!

Well, I hope all is well with you and yours!
Until next time.....
