A post from Kelli–
I’m sure you are all aware by now, but wonderful little Carver is such a cutie! Â I just love him to pieces. Â The other day I was talking to Kalissa and she mentioned that she was going to be starting back to work a little bit here and there just to ease into it. Â I had mentioned that I had fall break a few days in there and boy was I excited when I found out that there happened to be a day that I could watch him!
The day before, I spent time cleaning the house and getting stuff ready for him because I was really excited. Â More than once, Jason had to remind me that since he was a baby, he didn’t need tons of toys out and that he probably wouldn’t be able to do too much of the arts and crafts that I had planned for him. Â I ended up getting so excited that I seriously couldn’t sleep Monday night becasue I was just sooooo excited to spend the day with him.
When I woke up Tuesday morning, I even cleaned my car! Â (insert gasps here) Â left to meet Craig in West Union to pick up Carver at his work. Â We made a quick stop at the grocery store on our way home to grab a few things and then headed home.
Once we got home, I could see his cute little shirt!
It says–If Mommy says no, I’ll as my Aunt! Â I don’t know if I’ll always say yes (I know the power of the wrath of Kalissa) but it sure was cute.
Next we did arts and crafts!
I made one for Kalissa and Craig and one for myself too cause I was definitely in need of some new refrigerator decor.
Then my pal got all tuckered out so he took a little nap while I made some apple crisps for the neighbors.
All in all, it was a pretty great day-Kalissa ended up not having to work, but spent some time getting caught up on computer training, so my time with Carver got a bit shorter than I planned, but I was just glad to spend time with him.
I always kind of wondered how having kids would or if it would change my relationship with Kalissa. Â I’m glad to say that it hasn’t really. Â I’ve loved seeing her grow into a wonderful mom and am sure that it’s just another area of her life that she will excel in! Â Thanks for visiting Auntie Kelli!
What a great arts and crafts project you did !! What a nice reminder of how small those feet really were! As he gets older he will look forward going to your house to do fun crafts!! A special bond.
Love the arts and crafts project. Something you could do every year, until his feet get too big! He is a gorgeous baby, and so lucky to have such a wonderful loving family.
Love seeing him with his Aunt, and Carver is loved!!
