A few weeks ago I accepted a part-time job at the YMCA. I work in the Children's Enrichment Program Center, where we provide drop-in childcare for kids 6 weeks to 6 years while their parents use the facilities. For ages 1-6 we actually have a curriculum and rotate activities...it's not just free playing babysitting. The job is a perfect fit for me in this stage of life because the boys get to go with me, we get 50% off our family membership, and I get paid. So far I've worked 3 shifts, which are usually around 4 hours, and it's gone really well. Owen loves playing at the Y and Oliver is learning how to take naps midst all the noise.
Wednesday June 15th we picked up the keys to our new rental house and started moving boxes in. Jeremy took a few days off to help us make the move and we all thoroughly enjoyed having extra time with him. Thursday, my sweet sister in law Jen came over to help watch the boys so we could do some more packing and unloading. Friday, Jeremy's parents came into town and helped us pack and makes loads to the new house. We were very blessed by 3 awesome guys in our small group who came over on Saturday to load and unload all of our furniture on the truck. They were such troopers and we are forever grateful to them for helping us. A big thanks to my parents for watching the boys on Saturday.
After the move, we headed to Huntersville to celebrate Father's Day with my parents, brother, and sister in law. My parents came back over Sunday to say goodbye and do a couple of things around the house. Monday the 20th I completed the last of the cleaning and turned in the keys to our townhouse. I was so excited to be done with that place and that crazy rental company.
Moving with 2 young kids has been a challenge. Trying to find time to put stuff in boxes (and then unpackthem) has been interesting. Owen loves to "help" by taking stuff out of the boxes to look at it and taking it to his own desired location. He always finds the one thing you don't want him to play with of course. Surprisingly though we have everything out of the boxes and mostly in the right place. Jeremy finished up the garage today, which was the last "room" that needed organizing. We're slowly getting curtains and pictures hung and it's starting to feel like home. We love having more space most of all. Once everything is in place I'll try to post some pictures. Please come and visit...we love visitors!
