Joy Dances to Gummibear

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! We hope your Thanksgiving was relaxing and fun. We spent the holiday at the Krafve farm. We were indoors the whole visit because of the frigid temps and because I came down with a cold. We returned home Friday afternoon and Joy had a lot of energy after being strapped into a car seat for 3+ hours. We turned on the Gummibear song and away she went. We extend a special thanks to Danny's young cousin, Shae Baker, for introducing Joy to this song. She is a big fan as you will see.

The addition is complete!

Hi again. There isn't too much to update you regarding Joy. She continues to be a lot of fun! We are soaking in as much of her as we can these days.

We finished the addition and moved in about two weeks ago. We are enjoying the space tremendously. This means Joy also has her own big play space, which she is breaking in really well. The first day we opened the doors to the addition, Joy stood there and stared at the floor wondering if she could really enter. Once she realized she was able to enter, she ran in and out of the room and has barely stopped. Here is a before and two after pictures.


I also started working part-time this week. It has gone great!! I was really worried about Joy adjusting to taking naps in a new place. Of the last three days, she has gone right to sleep without a peep twice. I am caring for a 2 week old baby named Sarah. Her mom is still home on maternity leave. Joy and I spend 4.5 hours there 4 days a week so mom can do some things she needs/wants to do.

That covers things for now. We are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving at the Krafve farm. We also enjoyed visiting my sister and brother-in-law last weekend in Minneapolis, MN area for my cousins wedding. It was a busy, fast-paced weekend, but still fun, despite 8 inches of snow. We pray your Thanksgiving is very blessed.
