boy oh boy

Wow. What a week, that is all I can say.

We did end up evacuating Riverside again this year. We started moving residents out of the facility at 1000 and finished getting everyone out at about 0245 the next day. All 87 residents were taken to other facilities; mine was only able to accommodate 2 since we are so full. On Monday morning we will be sending everyone back. For the second year in a row we moved everyone out, but no water got in the facility.

On a quick work note I got a visit from the chair of the nursing home administrators board on Friday. Now all that stands in the way of my license is the exam, 120 questions of fun. I should be taking the test within the next two weeks.

This weekend we left Hayden with Grandma Melissa and drove to Seattle to meet up with Clint and some of his friends. We went to Pikes Place Market and took a tour of the Seattle underground. I had no idea that there was an old "Seattle" underneath. It was interesting to see, but I think it was a one time only tour.

Hayden has been Hayden lately. He will stick his tongue out at you now every once in a while; and still will kiss anyone that asks for one. He is also starting to push the limits. Things that he knows he should not be doing, he is trying again. You know, the fun stuff. Hitting things on the table, screeching, turing the tv off, playing in the blinds, pulling the cats tail, climbing up the gates, standing on his rocking chair, climbing on the couch, playing with the wii, pulling on the dvd player. Like I said, the fun stuff. Needless to say there have been a lot of "no's", "shhh's" and whispering to him.

Well I had better get the little angel off to bed, he is starting to rub his eyes and tell me "ni-ni". He is even walking towards his bedroom door.

Hope everyone has a great week and for those back in Wisconsin, enjoy the subzero weather and snow!!!!

So good to read that all is well after the flooding. We were thinking of you -- thinking about Grandma and Grandpa and wondering how they would handle something like that. The residents have to be so confused when you're moving them somewhere new. Can't imagine .....

Hayden sounds as if he's testing his boundaries just a bit .... stay consistent and he'll learn quickly what he can do and what he can't.

Schools here were closed today and tomorrow too -- it's so cold. Hailee was complaining today and sounded just like you Jonathan -- she's moving someplace warm when she's older. :-)

Love you guys!

Guess when Hayden will arrive!!
