Baby sitting

Today I went over to Amy's house for some good old fashioned baby sitting.  It was a little strange.  I haven't looked after someone else's child in a very long time and even though it almost feels like it doesn't count (because I looked after my niece as a favor to my sister), it was still a little odd.

I showed up at their house at around 10:30ish and walked in to find Amy and Madi watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, or as Madi calls it Meatballs.  She is pretty much the cutest little girl ever.  Amy and I had some really good conversation while Madi played around us.  It was just such a great day.  I love being close to family to be able to help out people.  Amy had a dr. appointment so I looked after her little turkey for an hour or so.  Ryan was in the ExerSaucer playing with the different farm animals while I tried to entertain Madi.  I had a really good time today.

I was dreading the drive home.  I was headed home starting at 4:30 and I was fully expecting it to take about 4 hours to get home since that's right when rush hour starts.  I only ran into one driver who seemed to be confused about the road rules but I made it home safe and sound.

When I got into our place, Tyler had dinner on the go and the dishes all done.  It's nice coming home to no chores.  And it's nice coming home to a great husband.  Ryan always lights up when he sees his daddy.  It's the most sweetest thing I get to see every day.

We enjoyed chicken burgers for dinner and they were super tasty.  Ryan was so tired so we bathed him and Tyler put him to sleep.  He's been sleeping ever since and Tyler and I find ourselves with a bunch of time on our hands.  It's like life from before little Ry.  I don't know what we use to do with all our time but I'm so glad Ryan is in our life.  He makes everything so much better.  He gives purpose to all this time we have.  Don't get me wrong, I love having time with Tyler because we don't get a lot of it these days, but I'm in love with our family.

Life is good!!!
