First Week Home With Brenna

Well, today is the last day of my first week home with Brenna. Staying at home with a 17 month old is a lot harder task than I envisioned, but well worth it. I have learned so many new things about my daughter, like when she wants to go outside to play there is no stopping her, short of her throwing herself on the floor and screaming. When she is ready to go outside, usually around 8 am she might still be in her pjs but she will bring me her shoes and her sunhat and literally try to drag me off the couch. After getting her in to proper outdoor attire we usually sit on the front step and "draw" with sidewalk chalk, Brenna's drawing consists of a few lines and then she throws the chalk into the dirt. After a drawing we usually walk down the driveway and pick up every single rock that we see and Brenna hands each one to Mommy, it is quite the adventure. We are trying our best to limit TV watching, but sometimes we need it so that other things can get done around the house.
Not only has taking care of Brenna been a new adventure, so has trying to cook a good meal every night, so far I have not done too bad. I have also begun making cookies for my hubbie, the first batch didn't turn out the best but today I made peanut butter cookies and I think they are pretty darn good if I do say so myself.
We have to get ourselves prepared for the big Elm Creek Stampede Days, we get to go to a parade in the morning, I can't wait.

NO MORE WORK!!!

As of yesterday at 4 pm I am no longer gainfully employed, but I have decided that my true life's work has just begun. Brenna and I will now be abled to get reaquainted with each other and hopefully will not drive each other over the deep end, LOL. Well I can't wait to see what God has planned for us now. 5 months til baby number to arrives, yeah!!!
