Ode to Jan

As we face a week away from Super Jan of Jan's Home Daycare, it reminds me once again of how lucky Nora and Owen are to have such a wonderful "home away from home" to go to three days a week. I am constantly amazed at Jan's endless source of energy, keeping all the kids happy, stimulated, well-fed (very well-fed in Owen's case!), and even well-rested.

We recently received a detailed list of the typical day at Jan's. It went something like this:
Breakfast
Play time
Table time (where a new letter is learned each week and oodles of art projects are created)
Play time or walk
Lunch
Music time
Nap
Snack
More music and play (and more outdoor time when the weather starts to cooperate)

Phew! This list exhausts me just looking at it! All I know is when I pick up Nora and Owen each day from Jan's, they are full of positive energy and couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jan!

Welcome!

As I begin this blog I have to admit I'm still quite new to all of this blogging business and I'm not quite sure how disciplined I'll be about posting. However, I am downright amazed at what a great vehicle this is. Some of my good friends have recently created blogs to share the good news and adorable pictures of their young children, and I thought it was time to get in on the act with "The Nora and Owen Show."

Some of my rants are sure to bore you, others will hopefully amuse you. And I can promise loads of cute pictures, especially on those days when I'm just too wiped out to write. So, please enjoy, comment, and visit often!
