Babysitters

So prior to leaving for our Maine trip, Gma and Gpa Redmond and the Denja girls arrived in SC to graciously take care of Kendall for the week while mom and dad were away on their Backroad's camping trip. They actually arrived on Wednesday prior to our leaving Saturday and left Tuesday after our Friday return so it gave us a chance to visit with them as well. Here we are at the local bowling alley prior to our leaving for Maine.
Here we are at Folly Beach after we returned on Saturday. It rained nearly the whole time, but we had fun anyway!

We did actually have a reprieve from the rain for a brief bit which allowed us to look for shells.

Here is dad working on the jukebox that we got for the man cave. Dad also spent several hours applying polyurethane while we were away. Aaron and dad then finished up with the stain this weekend. Pictures of the finished garage to come. Here is a shot of Kendall trying out her new nap mat and sleeping bag that we bought in preparation for daycare.

Today I was back to work, our guests and helpers flew back to Michigan, and Kendall started her first day of school (a.k.a. daycare). Daddy dropped her off this morning around 8 and she stayed till about 3. Apparently she did well. There were no tears, she managed to fit in a 45 minute nap, and ate well. She was described as "quiet," which was a bit sad because we know she is far from it at home. But, so far so good. She even lingered a bit when Daddy arrived to pick her up. We'll see how the rest of the week goes. My baby is growing up (sniff, sniff)!

Pictures and description of our great trip to Maine to come as well. For more information on the fun that was had by the "babysitters" while we were away, see the Redmond's blog.
