The End of an Era

This was D and me our first week together.He was 4 years and 3 months old.
C & D in our first month. Ages 4 and 9.
We also went to Chuck's.
That fall I took D to the pumpkin patch.
That winter the boys stayed home one icy day.
(And I had to go to their house anyway.)
This was the single most recalled moment of our two years together. We mentioned it all of the time. "Hey. Ashley. Remember the time I squirted yogurt all over myself... TWICE!?"

So what now? I'm substitute teaching until I can find a real full time job, probably teaching. My sister-in-law, Candice, and a friend from church, Erica, are taking turns keeping Jake while I'm working, which is so much better than a daycare. If I can't keep him myself, what's better than family and friends? Nothing.
