A Big Day

Brynn had a big day today. She got to go visit her cousins, Bailey and Brady. My sister-in-law, Jana, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2006 and since then underwent chemo and had a double mastectomy, is doing a Breast Cancer 3 day walk in Cleveland, OH this weekend. Grandma Canup is keeping Bailey and Brady over the weekend while Jana is out of town, so Brynn and I rode to Clayton with her to pick them up today. Bailey and Brady are both so cute with Brynn, especially Bailey. I cant wait until Brynn is a little bit older to see them play together. Brady doesn't quite know what to think of Brynn.. sometimes I think he likes her, other times I think he is jealous. I was nervous about her being in the car for so long because we had the drive there and back and went to lunch while we were there, but she was so good. I honestly think she likes being on the move, I think maybe some times why she throws fits is because she is bored when it is just me and her at home. Not that I can blame her, I am probably not that good of company.

Last night our friends Dan and Sarah brought us dinner over. They have a beautiful one year girl named Olivia. It was nice to have friends over and just relax. Since Brynn has been born Josh has cut back his hours, he is only working 40 now instead of 50 or 60. We have had alot more time together and has been nice to be home together in the evenings when he does work.. I think when I go back to work I am going to miss him just as much as I miss Brynn. We will sort of be working opposite shifts to limit the amount of time she is at a babysitter so we wont have much time home together as a family during the week but will have to make up for it on the weekends. It is amazing how before I never realized how little time we did have together because I never knew any different but having a baby really puts things into perspective and made me realize you work to live, not live to work(sound familiar Kristine).

Tomorrow we are going to watch Bailey(our 4 yr old niece) play soccer. I am excited to see how she does. She is quite the talker so I am wondering if she will actually play or just be talking up and down the field the whole time, she gets it honest though(right Grandma Canup?) Then we are heading home to Loogootee for the weekend to visit with Nana and Papaw Smith, Josh has to work so I figured I would go home and she can see her uncles and aunt too.
