The tallest tower
Last week, just before Thanksgiving, we had some extra friends come play with us! My niece (Majesta), my nephew(Braxton), and Savannah's big sister (Samantha)were all here with me, Julia, Rebecca, and Savannah! It was really fun having the older kiddos here, as they each had great imaginative ideas that lead into some wonderful pretend play that I couldn't have created without them. They enjoyed each other's company, and gave all of us a break from the daily grind.
While Julia and Savannah were napping, the other three kiddos set out on a mission to build a tower with the mega blocks that would reach the ceiling. They were determined, and I was impressed with their persistence. Their towers took many forms - first they tried it as a square building, then as a flat wall, and finally, they decided to try building it against a wall for support. After about an hours work, they finally attained the goal! And here is a picture of the tall tower - one that goes from floor to ceiling.

Coloring with Chalk
Yesterday, the girls colored the "tree house" outside with chalk. They said they were "Working hard!" They had a blast, and didn't want to clean up to go inside for lunch. Today, that's the first thing they ran to... forget the swings anymore - let's "Work!" Very cute...

The History
I started my business in Colorado in June of 2005. I knew I wanted to e a home childcare provider since June of 2003, but I never had the confidence to open - and I wanted to wait until we had a house that was suitable for care. So, I spent a few years gaining experience at different childcare centers around the region, and in 2004, I got a job as a State Childcare Licensing Representative in Colorado.
I saw a lot of yucky things. Things that will forever be in my memory, no matter how hard I try to forget. It was a tough job, but I'm glad I did it. Working as a licensing specialist taught me things about myself that have helped mold me into who I am today.
I had my first daughter in September 2004, she immediately taught me all about the love that a mother shares with her baby. I wanted to stay home with her, and felt that this was the right time to open for business.
Business was great in Colorado. I was caring for 10 different children, only 6 were full time. I was sad to let those families go when we were called by God to move out here to Kansas.
We moved here in November 2005, and I held jobs at two different childcare centers in the area until our home would be suitable for childcare. We bought this house knowing that someday I would be able to open childcare again.
We had our second daughter in September 2007. As soon as I was pregnant with her, I knew that it was time to get serious about business again. It took a while, but two years after buying our house, I was finally able to open again.
This is the last job I want to have - I'd love to retire as a childcare director. Someday I may move out of my home and into a public facility - but I'm perfectly content doing business out of the house as I am now.
I'm registered with the state of Kansas, and can legally watch up to six children at a time. I'm extremely blessed to have a wonderful church family - and I now have a waiting list for children to care for.
My biggest hope is that I can bless the children in my care as much as God has blessed me with the opportunity to fulfill my dreams.
