New Man in the Family

New Man in the Family Well it has been a busy weekend. First, we had our first and probably last snow of the winter. It lasted maybe 30 minutes and then melted. The kids were very disappointed. Especially my daughter, Vidalia. She really wanted to make snow balls. Well, maybe next winter. Then Friday afternoon my oldest sister gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. It was a very quick labor and delivery. The first contractions started at 11:50am and the baby was born at 1:29pm. He was 5lbs 12.2oz and 20in long. I have been surprised at Vidalias reaction. She totally wants to momma the new baby. With her brother she was less interested with him. I guess that shows how much she has changed as she has gotten older. My son, Samuel, is soo close to walking. I'm excited but also dreading it. It will make him more independent and harder to keep up with.lolLast night the family attended a super bowl party with our Lifegroup from church. My husband and I don't like football but really enjoyed the fellowship and the kids had a ball playing with the other kids there. The most fun was the jokes told after the game was over. Some disappointing news, it looks as if I will be needing to go back to work. The one income has stretched as far as it will go. The main issue is child care. I worked at a daycare before and was able to take the kids at half price. The solves the problem of me not wanting to leave the kids with people I don't know but it's not much income working at a daycare. Especially when they take out $180 every check. I'm not sure what I will do but I'm praying about it and hope I find an answer soon.
