what i do.

i nanny.
and i love it.
kids are great. i was afraid that nannying might scare me away from being a mom one day. but, thank the lord for his good humour... it hasn't scared me yet.
yet, being the key word.
and thank the lord... those are key words too.
and humour.
anyway.
these kids are wonderful, crazy, fun, ADORABLE, sweet, hilarious, high-energy... yeah, all those wonderful things.
it's weird actually coming home from work and being tired. it's a good feeling.
it's awesome being a nanny. you're raising the next generation. and hopefully they'll be able to function in a social environment. it's great to see them grow... already the youngest (evan- 10 months) has gone from scooting along the floor, to crawling properly; from falling when hanging onto ledges alone, to going from one ledge to another with ease (well, most of the time); from gurgling to actually trying to make out proper words (still gurgles all the time though)... yeah. it's wonderful.
it's also great because i've taught wyatt (the older one... 2.5 years) the song "jesus loves me" and the prayer "god is great"... so whenever it's nap time and i ask what song he wants to sing, it's always jesus loves me. and when i tell him to pray at lunch time... he says, "god is great"... seeing them grow already, is such an encouragement.
it's just awesome to be a part of their lives at such a young age, teaching them things, learning from them, seeing them grow, and being a godly example to them. god give me the grace...
anyway, here are some pictures!

wyatt LOVES to play with my camera... and i let him. he likes posing for pictures... yay!


evan gets jealous that wyatt can play with the camera and he can't...

we had an "interesting" time decorating easter eggs... a semi-success?

they love each other... but don't always get along... but what are siblings for?

priceless.

here's the little sumo

i let wyatt play with the camera... he doesn't care what he's taking a picture of though... he just likes to press the button. needless to say, a lot of pictures of the ceiling are deleted (secretly, of course).

so, there's my life. i like it. god's using me in an unexpected way. it's good... because for a while there i was feeling pretty purposeless. god is faithful.
