Lucky me


I am a lucky girl. I got to babysit Betsy's new baby last night for about an hour. He is just so precious. Betsy and Jonah came down for the weekend and since Mark and Kate aren't 100% well, I didn't want the Simmons' coming over here so I went to their hotel and watched him for a bit while Bes and Jonah and Brynn and Ry went swimming. Well soaked in the hot tub, actually. Bes and Jonah bet the kids $2 each that they wouldn't get out, roll in the snow, and get back in. Of course they did and of course promptly spent their newfound wealth on a drink at DQ. It was fun to watch the bb in the hotel room. He just slept and I just loved holding him. He is such a mellow, sweet spirit.

Ryan was the star of the day on Friday. His teacher encourages the kids to bring a pet that day to show if they want. I had the great privilege of bringing our cat to show. That was fun. (not) The kids sure got excited when the cat leaped out of Ryan's arms and ran under the computer desks. We eventually got him out. Ryan got to show and tell all about himself that day. It was cute. He brought pictures from Washington to show the kids where he used to live and ones of Wyoming where his other grandparents live,a mask he made in scouts, his favorite toys, some scrapbook pages, a few video games, his soccer medal, and his favorite stuffed animals. I sure love that kid.
