Nan Visit

August 23, 2010

While things so far have been fairly low key they are about to kick into full gear. I have started back to work last week and Tim starts school this next week. Tim is in his second semester of RN school so basically September is going to be what we call the month from down under. With me nearing the end of my pregnancy and working full time, while Tim is in in school with clinicals full time, and work part time. We were not quite sure what we were going to do with Ian because we did not know what days we needed a babysitter for. Tim would be shadowing another nurse and therefore work their same schedule which we found out a week prior to when it began. Luckily Tim's mom decided that she would come out to Utah during her time off from work. Which happen to be right when we really needed a babysitter. So the last week in August she arrived and stayed until the second week in September.

Ian had a blast! He loved playing and doing all kinds of different activities every day. Between painting, coloring, playdoh, making books, etc I think they did it all. During this time Nan and Amy were busy making a quilt for the new baby and then decided they had enough material that they could make a quilt for Ian's bed. The baby quilt is darling and Ian's quilt is still in the process. It is the same as the babies just full size.

Nan even managed to find some material to make a cap for Ian. Although it is currently being used as a marching platform. The funniest moment of Nan's visit was when Ian had bath time. Nan was playing cars with Ian in the bath tub and apparently she decided that she was wet enough she might as well just get in. How many grandma's would do that? Ian loved every moment. We are so grateful that you were able to make it out and help get us through the first few rough weeks. Thanks for coming!
