Day Care

Today was Emily's first day in day care. She was there for about 2.5 hours and did great! During the 'getting to know you' period, Eva stays in the area, so that Emily doesn't think that we're leaving her. As with Quinn, she was totally interested in all of the new toys, sandbox, and, of course, the new food.

We went together to day care...sort of. Since Eva had an operation on her hand (more on that later), she had to walk. I wanted to give her a head start...and Quinn was MAD that I was piddling. He ABSOLUTELY wanted to help out Eva...and show Emily his old day care (which is next to his kindergarten). I've never seen him ride his bike so fast.

Quinn went into his old day care...a bit shy, but still the huge big brother. He gave Emily a huge wet kiss, and then we went to kindergarten.

As mentioned earlier, Eva had surgery on her hand on Tuesday. She's had problems with it for a while and finally decided to get it worked on. Thankfully, things seem to be ok and healing well.

As one can imagine, being with 2 kids without the use of your right hand is a bit difficult...so I got to convince my boss to let me work from home during the mornings this week so that I could help out. Thankfully he obliged with my request.

...and since you don't look at this blog for my ramblings...here are a few random pics from the last few weeks.

Last weekend, we went to a 'festival' or harvest from an organic farmer. There were tons of things to look at (including the pigs and a ride on the tractor to the veggies) ... and to buy. Quinn even got to bake some bread.
