Another blessing lately: When we decided I was going to stay home it took very careful budgeting and several cut backs. Another great thing about Chris is how he handles money (me, not so much) and how he got things paid off and all organized so that I could stay home. He loves him some Dave Ramsey! Anyways, for Kenley's pregnancy and now this one there is always a large amount of money due and so we always have to save up, budget a little differently, and take on some extra jobs here and there to have the money ready. Actually, for Wyatt we had to do the same thing because even though I was working we had to prepare for maternity leave. Anyways, my point is it gets a little stressful, but it always works out. Since Chris is the "money guy" he totally gets freaked out and panics and was convinced that he needed to get a weekend job. I felt awful. I didn't want him to have to work more on top of what he's doing. So I prayed and prayed that God would help us some how make things work where Chris didn't have to do this or feel the need to do this. Now, I did some stuff like I added babysitting to my Care.com account - I already was listed as a tutor, but never really got any jobs from the website but went ahead and added that to my profile. A few weeks ago a friend saw me on Care.com and asked me to babysit every Tuesday while Wyatt is at school (and bring Kenley) so she could get some things done. She had been nervous about getting a sitter and it worked great that I could do it and I had been needing a job. Kenley and the other little girl have so much fun playing, too. What an absolute blessing and answered prayer. This has been such a help, and I'm so so so grateful. Shortly after that another friend needed some math help for her kiddo who is getting ready to take the standardized tests and called me. She wanted me to come twice a week for a few weeks. God is good and always provides. And getting to help out with everything really makes me feel good.
Now, here's what the kids have been up to. Lots and lots of playing at home. They play together so well.

Our new sandbox from Grammy for Easter. We like sand!
Getting ready for Summer
Kenley can play cars with the boys and Wyatt can be a great Daddy when playing house.
Wyatt is doing the diaper and Kenley is doing the bottle. This melted my heart!
Finishing up the year at preschool. This week we had the Spring Fling field day and I got to help out. It was so cute watching all the kids play together.
