Meet the cutest paper mache turtle I've ever seen. :)

We're in the middle of a good week. Gracie has been in preschool-withdrawal just a bit, but I've tried to keep her busy. I feel like the week has just flown by- I'm sure because we got to enjoy the day with Ben on Monday. Three day weekends always throw me off, and we've just had two in a row.
To shake up our schedule a bit more, this week marked the end of my babysitting days for a while. Between my doctor's orders to take it a little easier and my desire for a bit more freedom this summer before our new arrival in September, I talked to Sheri about a month ago about transitioning Ana to another childcare provider. Luckily, she was able to find a nanny to come to her house each day and watch Ana and her older siblings. I am so glad that it worked out well for everyone. It is a little sad, though; I've cared for Ana full-time since the end of August, so she's really become one of the family. She left today with big hugs and promises to visit.
I'm off to curl up with a book.....
