Our weekend has flown by. On Friday Dondi and Julie came to help us out so we could fix our garage roof and since I was going to be gone all day Saturday helping a friend, Julie was going to watch the kids. They seemed to have all sorts of fun and the girls really enjoyed their time with Grandma and Papa. On Saturday night we marked a milestone; Eric and I had our first paid babysitter for the girls. I won’t deny we have been spoiled. We have always had Emily to watch the girls for us and we have never taken that for granted. Now, with the new addition to our family, we decided it was time to branch out and find more options for sitters so it will be possible for Eric and I to leave the house once in a while. Everything went great, and Hadley was super excited.

This morning the girls were up and at ‘em early so we had plenty of time to get ready for church and class. We haven’t gone to class for a long time because we have either been out of town or someone has been sick. Zoey Belle did not cry at all when we left her in class, which was also a new milestone. She almost always throws a fit when we leave her in class, but today she just wanted to play with the other kids. The whole day Hadley wanted to be “Batman Girl” so she wore her black dress and did “good things” like Batman Girl apparently does. Eric and I appreciated it though because she followed our instructions and was very pleasant to be around today. She also said that Daddy is the Joker and everyone else is Bat Girl. Eric kept trying to convince her that Mommy is the Penguin, but she never really went for that.

At bedtime, Zoey climbed out of her crib once, but Eric put her right back in bed and she didn’t get out again, so hopefully this won’t be too much of a problem. We’ll find out soon enough…
