Jade at 6 weeks old....

Here are some of Jade's 6 week old pictures.


She slept through most of the picture taking like a good little baby.



Sweet baby girl. I hate it that I don't get to see her everyday. One of the REALLY bad things about living away from home. But I will definitely make up for lost time the next time I see her. :-)

Swimming weather....

So we do a lot of swimming in the summer. Here is Addi enjoying her new bikini.


And here is Lizzie Bit with her new swimsuit.

Sam and his mommy sharing a hug.

Sam is my buddy for right now. Of course I think that is because every time he sees me he gets to do something he thinks is really fun. Such as going to the pool, the museum, pump it up...I wish it was because of my wonderful personality, but I don't think so... ;-)

Jade 5 weeks...

So this is our "little" Jade at 5 weeks. If I didn't know better, I would guess her to be about 3 months old. She is losing all her baby hair already, so that is why she has the tuft going on int he back. I wish I could see her everyday. She is already looks so much different than the last time I saw her.

Just a few more of the little friends....

Here are a couple more pics of Rhoda's and my kids. I miss these days!

This pumpkin farm has the best homemade apple cider donuts!!


Its a miracle if Kate ever looks at the camera!!

Here are the four amigos.

Oldies...but goodies.

Being a nanny is many things, but one of the things I love the most is summer time. It actually means more work for me since I have all my kids with me, but there are so many fun things to do in the summer. We go to Kings Island, the water park, Sharon woods, the zoo, and on and on and on. Two of my best friends have been nannies along with me for the last seven years. Rhoda started nannying the winter after I started. She had one little guy whose name is Will. He is about 9 months younger than Seth. Then the people I work for had Kaelah and about 6 months after that, Will's family had a baby sister named Kate. So these four kids have literally grown up together. Seth and Will are both in school full time now, so they hardly ever get to see each other. They are both looking foward to maybe being able to get together over the summer. These pics are of Seth and Will at Sharon Woods. They got in a spat, so Rhoda and I sat them down in a "time-out" Two very unhappy boys, but it didn't take long for the laughter to come and they were fast friends once again. I just love these pictures.

In trouble and not happy with each other.

hmm...something funny?

And friends again....

Me and my kiddies....

Just a quick pic of my kids and me after a long afternoon at the park. I am going to miss them so much!

'Lizzie Bit'

For those of you who know my best bud Rhoda, this is her little girl, Elizabeth. She is so much fun. She is the tiniest thing...but so full of life already.

She has the most adorable dimples when she smiles. Everywhere we go, people have to stop us to say hi to her. Just wanted to share for those who might not get to see her that much.

She is ten months old in these pictures.

Kaelah's dance recital...

Teresa and I have been taking KK and Ally to dance class for over a year now. The girls have a lot of fun with it.

Their dance recital was a few weeks ago. They looked sooo cute!


As you can tell, Kaelah loves to be on stage, but Ally is much more hesitant. In reality, Ally is much braver than KK in general, but not when it comes to being the center of attention.

Tea party....

I have been trying to get pictures of the girls having a tea party for a while now. We set one up really quickly the other day and I took a few pics. None of the turned out that great though, since the sun was in the wrong place and the girls were grumpy and we were in a huge hurry, but I thought this one was kind of cute anyway.
