Well, I feel a little silly recording our daily goings-on, when the other posts are a little more serious and relevant. But I hope that this brings a small distraction to mainly JoAnne, but anyone else who scrolls through our little blog.
Haven, my 16 year old brother has been helping us babysit a little, while he is on Christmas break and while our nanny is at home for the holidays. Anyway, today I came home from work after a quick 4 hour shift to my boys. Carver, obviously starving after not eating for about an hour, starts to whine a little as I walk through the door. Axel gives me his normal gaurd dog bark, but doesn't bother to get off the couch to see if I really am dangerous because he is just too comfortable. Ollie comes running around the corner, telling me all about his nap and the past hour of fun he has had with uncle Haven (at least that is what I am assuming he babbled off to me). I head to the living room to deal with Carver's growing hunger and Haven hands him over...happily, I am sure. As I take him, I realize that his baby onsie has been fastened over top of his baby pants. I give a little laugh and ask Haven "what's up with the new look?" His answer..."Well, I put his pants on after changing his diaper and when I realized he had a onsie on, I didn't feel like taking his pants off again so I just buttoned it over them". I don't know if this little story transfers through the blog, but my goodness, I had a laugh. I can't imagine the burden facing Haven when he realized he might have to take off Carvers pants again!
Besides that, Andy has worked two very long days at the brewery since we returned from our ND adventure, but he still manages to get home around dinner time, give the boys and myself a little love before he disappears to bed and the snores fill the house. I, thankfully, have a work laptop and am able to work from home during this slow time and not create too much stress for the new babysitter!
I enjoy your posts - much more light-hearted than mine!
