Although we will miss the paychecks from Crum, Jocelyn and I have been enjoying having Matt home with us. Last week we went for walks, to the zoo, story time at the library, built snowmen and spent tons of time blowing bubbles during the mild afternoons. Matt has a long 'to do' list that he hopes to accomplish while he is off work.


Another set back for my family, my Dad is closing the shop next month. His head mechanic turned in his two weeks notice to open his own shop and is taking the other two mechanics with him. After going over all the options we have decided that the best course to take is liquidate inventory and close the shop. My Dad has had the rug completely pulled out from under him by his supposed friend and business partner and we are all feeling a little helpless. Matt and I will do whatever we can in the next few weeks to help ease the transition. Hopefully in the end it will be for the best and Dad can enjoy his retirement.
Jocelyn will be two in less than a week - so hard to believe! She is so excited for her party and asks daily to make sure that certain people are coming. She is talking in small sentences and her pronunciation gets better all the time. This week at Little Gym she walked the balance beam all by herself without holding on to the bars - she was so pleased with herself!!!
Matt and I bought Jocelyn a fish tank a couple weeks ago in hopes that the white noise from the filter would help her sleep. Fat chance, but she loves feeding the fish twice a day and telling them good morning and good night.
I hope things get better for you guys and your dad! So nice to have Matt home, though. It's good you have the kind of relationship where you like being together.
