An Early Start to Spring Break

This is the second year that Josh got me out of working the day before Spring Break.  The first time was in 2010, when he entered the world on the day that was supposed to be my last day at work.  The second was this year when he was up all night with an ear infection, the night before my last day of work.  Poor guy.  He couldn't lay down at all, was crying most of the night, and probably got only a few hours of sleep while propped upright in our bed.

Auntie Julie was staying with us that night, planning on watching the kids the next day for me.  We were so glad she was there--I don't think I could've gotten all three kids into Urgent Care on my own!  We got there at 8:00 when it opened, and I went ahead and had them check Micah's ears too, to make sure the fussy baby wasn't sick, too.  The picture above shows Josh on the mend, after antibiotics and the appointment.

Micah loves his Auntie Julie, too!

Later, when Gracie got home from her last day of Kindergarten, they played Memory with Auntie.
