So this is what it's like to have a nanny.

My best friend Kristie spent this beautiful spring Saturday at the house with me and Owen while Eric was busy working at the new house. Every time she leaves us, Eric and I say: so this is what it must be like to have a nanny! Someone who is always keeping an eye on Owen, cooking him meals, taking him out of the house to the "big playground!" and the local ice cream shop when mom needed a couple hours to lie down. Owen LOVES his Aunt Kristie, and we are so thankful for all of her time. I know she will sleep well tonight - running around after Owen all day is completely exhausting. I think we will all sleep well tonight, with the windows open and a nice, cool spring breeze blowing in. Fingers crossed that spring (or is this summer? It's supposed to be 84 tomorrow) is finally here to stay in Michigan!
