This weekend we had the pleasure of babysitting my 8 month old niece - not only is she adorable, but she really is a great baby. There were just a couple challenging moments with the rest of the time being a joy, but even while things were going well I just couldn't get the thought out of my head, "..two babies...add another one in here and how will we handle this situation??" Feeding, sleeping, changing diapers...it's certainly going to be a challenge! We are anxiously awaiting that time though. :)
More about my niece (I have several nieces and nephews who are all superstars, by the way!) - not only she is just too stinkin' cute and has a smile that will absolutely melt your heart, but she has a fun disposition as well. We found out recently that she loves the dogs, just like her brother! She just giggles and laughs like crazy when watching them, and she likes to touch them. My brother is not yet convinced that he'll have to get a dog someday for the kids, he thinks they'll get their fill just coming over here, but I'm not so sure...he might have to give in at some point! I am so grateful to have such gentle dogs - we are, of course, always very careful when kids are by the dogs, but I've seen hair pulled, tails stepped on, etc. with not a peep out of the dogs. They're great!
Mike's been quite busy at work. It's going well, and we're so thankful that he's in a job he loves. (And I mean that for real, I'm not just saying it because his boss might be reading this!) I've been able to help out some too, which has been great! I enjoy the work, I'm very grateful to still be able to climb in and out of a tractor at this point, and Mike and I like working together. :)
Thanks to the weather not being very good, we didn't have to work late on Thursday and were able to make the annual trip with my dad to the tractor pulls at the Hudsonville Community Fair. Of course, thanks to the weather not being very good that meant we had to sit in a drizzle most of the evening, but it wasn't too bad! The tractor pulls were loud and fun as always - and I think the boys liked them too. They were both very active at the beginning, then quieted down - so maybe they got used to the noise??
