Smiling Mickey (Mic-E)

Before Michael was born and after we picked out the name Michael Edward, I thought, "I'll Call him Mickey! or Mic-E as a shortened version or nick name. Similar to how the Hoopers got Chad out of Charles Daniel. Yeah..... no one else but Ana like Mickey and she only likes it because of Mickey Mouse.

I wonder what nickname will stick long term? He sure looks happy when I call him Mickey.

Quality Nana Time

What would we do without Nana? Charlie, Daniel and Ana spent most of the day at Nana's on Saturday so that Mom and Dad could finally make it over to IKEA and get Charlie's new bed and dresser for his big boy room. It was a decent day and the kids took a walk/ride to pass the time.

First Day at Primrose

Michael's first day at Primrose. It was a bittersweet day, taking the LAST baby to day care. We love the ladies at Primrose.. Virginia, Roni and Renee (pictured) all take such great care of the babies. I know Michael will be rocked to sleep, spoiled and played with from 8-4pm and that I will go back to work and have all of the adult interactions I care to. Michael will roll over for the first time for Renee (Nay). He will crawl to her, he will learn to walk under her watchful eye. It brings a tear to mine. My mother must have felt the same way when she had Nana Kay taking care of me.
Nay will be as special to Ana and Michael as Nana Kay was to me, and that makes me smile.
