Time With Friends

On Friday of last week I took a vacation day, and spent some time with two of my girlfriends and their babies. We went to a rummage sale at a nearby church, which was not the greatest sale but was still fun. I made Creme Brulee French Toast, chicken apple sausage, and fruit for breakfast, and we had a nice time talking and watching the babies play together. We had a nice time, and it was great fun to express my love for my friends by serving them breakfast. This was a special event for all of us, because with young babies we barely feed ourselves sometimes. We definitely don't splurge and eat a sit down breakfast.

Later that afternoon, Scott and I went on a field trip to a Jewish day care center. The center only takes babies that are older than one year old, so we did not consider it when first placing Ellie in day care in January. We are in love with the day care center, and it seems like a fantastic next step for Ellie's everyday care. I also want her to learn, grow, and be nurtured in the day care center we choose. I think we have found that place, and it is in our price range. We plan to start Ellie in the Jewish day care center in the fall, and I am glad that she will also be learning some culture as well. I wish that I did not have to work, and that I could just stay with her all day. Since I have to work I want her in the best possible care. I love my daughter and I want the best care for her while Scott and I are working.

Car Adventure

We sold our second car last fall, and we have been borrowing my parents car since I went back to work in January. Scott has been on the hunt for a car since January, and he believes there is a winner in another city. We are going to drive about 4 hours tomorrow to hopefully buy a new-to-us car. Our 10 month old daughter is going along for the ride, and it will be about 8 hours in the car. She is sick for the fourth time since the beginning of January, so it should be interesting. The car we are buying will be Scott's car, and Ellie and I are happy to show our love by riding in the car for a few hours so that he has a nice car to drive.
