Just recently Peter starting going to daycare for the first time. The daycare is a home daycare. It's called "Daycare By Dad". Kevin and Jean are friends of ours from church that we've been on some committees with. Kevin decided to quit his job and stay home to take care of their two children (Madalyn, 4 and Brayden, 1) and take care of 3 others. Peter attends, as well as 2 other boys (Dolen, 6 and Logan 1). Kevin sure has his hands full! Three boys that are 1...Next year will be tricky if they're all still around! Poor Madalyn is the only girl, but maybe that will change eventually. It's great for us because it's very reasonably priced and it's very close to my job at MSU, so for the Summer the drop-off and pick-up is very easy. In the Fall when Ben starts school again, he may be doing some of the driving. :) In case you're wondering, we had to get daycare because Ben now has 2 jobs for the Summer. He is working from 7am-3pm at ADM (Archer Daniels Midland, I think...It's a big elavator operation of sorts) here in Mankato. He does light maintenance (sweeping, cleaning, etc.). And of course he is still at Menards about 20 hours per week. So between the two of us, we're working 100 hours a week! The few moments we get together as a family, we cherish! Tonight we plan to go for a bike ride with our new child carrier/cart thingey that Peter got for his 1st birthday from Grandpa Punky and Grandma Berta. We'll take pictures of Peter's first reaction and publish them here. Well, I've babbled long enough! Come again soon... PS: This picture is of Peter eating lunch (pizza) that Kevin took with his camera phone yesterday. He emailed it to me as I was sitting at my desk. Technology these days is wonderful, isn't it?
