Just another day in the neighborhood...

Craig worked his last shift in the ED today, he has been picking up overtime to help make ends meet. He had a busy day and said he was glad to be done with the ED nursing. He will still work once day a week for a little while as he transitions to school, but his full time nursing days are behind him, its kinda crazy to think of.

The kids and I had another good day, we went to story time this morning, Kylie has been enjoying taking her library card and borrowing books. Cooper of course loves the singing and going to see the goldfish.

Stephanie, Pierce and Penny came over for lunch and some play time, Cooper and Penny are so cute, they just follow each other around and imitate each other. Little Pierce is only 5.5 months old but he is crawling everywhere and Kylie just loves "taking care" of him. At one point today we had all the kids on our big bed and we were reading 5 Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed. It was so fun to watch them jump and dance, fall and laugh.

We also did a lot of reading today. Kylie was always very gentle with her books, she didnt ever rip pages, Cooper not so much. I spent about 20 minutes today fixing book pages that Cooper had destroyed, silly boy. Craig was reading with Cooper tonight, he was reading Pete the Cat, I Love My White Shoes. At one point in the book the author asks "did Pete cry?" the answer is "goodness no!" when Craig read "did Pete cry?" Cooper said "no" and shook his head. Craig and I looked at each other and smiled, it was so cute. He has never responded to that book before, but obviously he was taking it all in. He insisted on reading it and our other Pete the Cat books, I 'm so glad both he and Kylie enjoy books so much. Just a couple days ago, Kylie decided she would read to me while we were laying down for rest time, it was great.

I came in to the living room to find this, love it. 

Oh and Kylie birthed a baby this morning... she asked if I could be her birth photographer, I was honored to do the job :o)
