Dancin' with Daddy

I thought I'd post a couple pictures of Thad dancing with his little girl. I just walked into the room and they were waltzing! So cute! Also, it turns out that Siena LOVES her Grandpa Garlick! We got the cute picture of her smiling while her grandpa was holding her. And Thad is always holding her on our bench on our porch. Siena loves to be outside! She is our nature girl.
Oh, and thanks for all of your comments/concerns/suggestions/stories about the babysitting issue. We have been VERY fortunate to find a babysitter who works close to the school where I work. Her kids go to school here, so she picks up Siena when she drops her other kids off at school. I don't even have to drop her off! And it is REALLY a blessing to be able to see her and nurse her during my lunch break! And to top it all off, she only charges about half the rate we were paying before! We have been really blessed to find such a great arrangement!

Baby-sitting Blues

So our amazing wonderful and fabulous baby-sitter (and relief society president) just has too much on er plate and can't watch Siena any more while I am at work. I was so depressed yesterday when I found out, because it's so hard to find someone that you totally trust and is willing to watch your little infant. So I have been busy calling around and trying to find someone else ASAP. It's harder than you might think to leave your child in someone else's care. Anyway, here are some pics. Enjoy.

Welcome Jairus!

I have been in Cedar City this weekend, because my little sister Melissa had her first baby on Wednesday. His name is Jairus Ethan Eggertsen, and he is a major cutie (with big feet- the same length as Siena's)! My brother Jeff, sister-in-law Mary and their 2 kids, Hyrum and Joseph were also there. Mary's sister Martha had her baby, Esther Truth, the day before Jairus was born. So the picture of the four of us on the couch are me, Melissa, Martha and Mary with our babes.

Baldy

So I never really cared for those bald spots in the back of the head that little babies get from rubbing it all off...until, of course, Siena got one. She works on that spot night and day, rubbing her head back and forth, side to side, whenever she's lying down. Even on the sides of her head, you can tell that her hair is thinning! I guess to her, it's a game. Here are our latest.
