Missing the kids


For those of you who didn't know but I was the nanny for a family for about 4 years. I started watching their little boy, Ethan when he was about 8 months old. Ava was born about a year later. I absolutely love those two to pieces. When I graduated this past April and then left a month later to go to D.C. I had to quit the greatest job in the world. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, I missed them so much! But once we got back their parents have been so good to "share" and let us take the kids every few weeks! They came and had a sleepover at our house- we built a fort for them to sleep in, watch movies and ate lots of popcorn and candy, spent the day at the park, went to the pet store, and had lots and lots of fun! Both the kids adore Travis and he sure adores them back! It was great to get to play and spend lots of time together. I sure miss all the giggles and cuddles that I use to get every day but we tried to make up for it over the weekend. We had a great time and are so thankful that we are able to still be a part of their lives!

How in the heck?

Can someone please help me! ERRRRR! For the life of me I cannot figure out how to add that thing to your blog where it shows when your friends update their blogs. I want to know when someone added a new post. Anyone know??? I would SOOOO GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. Thanks a million!

Getting some fresh air

Wow... I am still so far behind! Trav and I went camping with my family over Labor Day weekend this year. Even though the weather wasn't the greatest, it was still so nice to get away and have some family time. Makki even had fun too, she had an excuse to roll around in the dirt without getting in trouble! Trav even went paintballing. All of my cousins and some of my uncles love to paintball- they go every time while we are camping. They take it pretty serious! Ha. Trav was a good sport and went, although I'm sure he didn't mind when they got rained out. We are so glad we were able to go, since we missed out on all the other camping trips while we were gone this summer!
