Welcome Heidi!!

We are excited to have Heidi join us for a couple of months while she finishes up her schooling! She got an 'internship' (I think they call it something else- practicum, maybe?) here in town at the Prescott nursing home. We hope the time doesn't go too fast because we are enjoying our time. :-)

Rhya is in her GLORY to have such a willing and fun playmate! She and Heidi have played ring around the rosie (or 'ashes', as Rhya calls it) too many times to count, have read close to 50 books by now, have played in the sandbox, and played hide and seek (Rhya was having so much fun she held her potty too long. Pretty soon she was exclaiming 'POTTY! POTTY!' and running to the bathroom w' fully soaked undies!)

Speaking of Rhya (surprise, surprise), she is getting quite independent. She LOVES to sing, but lately, when I try to sing along, she says, "No Mommy sing. Rhya sing. Mommy watch". Then she continues to belt out variations of anything that comes to her head.

We've been visiting parks, going for walks, and eating picnics all week long...just the two of us plus the dogs. This is an AWESOME week to have 'off', waiting for Baby to arrive. I've gotten quite a bit done, and have LOVED spending these last precious moments with Rhya all by herself. :-)
