Happy St.Valentine's Day!

Today is our first day doing some part-time home daycare for my neice's baby. We are so excited and goofy about it! Brayden emailed this Valentine's card to his parents after his nap today. This is the first day he is not being cared for by one of his parents.

I am happy to be able to watch him, but also sad and a little upset that so many young families today just don't have the option of a parent staying home full-time with their babies! This economy is hurting us in so many ways! Please pray for new families that they find the balance between work and family life and for those who must work outside the home, that loving and able daycare providers are available.

And now... off to check on this little man!

Happy St. Valentine's Day!
Now go tell someone you love them!

Sweet picture.

I hear so many people say they wish they could stay home, but don't ever complete that thought to make some concrete changes to make it happen.
