cruz's babysitters.

Cruz and Grama.

I am so blessed with amazing people who help take care of Cruz each week while I work. I am still only working about 20 hours at the office ( + some hours at home) each week, which is SO nice. I have been trying to get away with not putting Cruz in a daycare yet, and so far it has worked out, thanks to my wonderful family and friends!

On Mondays, Cruz goes to Tracy's house. Tracy is a good friend of my sister Sara's. Tracy has a little girl and has been just great at watching Cruz. I can tell that she enjoys watching him.

On Wednesdays my mom comes over and watches him at our house! Of course a grandma's love and care is hard to beat....so having her here is really one of the next best things to me being here with him. I am so thankful for my mom's help! It is nice for me, too, to be able to leave him at home one day...in his familiar surroundings.

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays Cruz goes to my friend Jess's house! Jess has two little girls and offered to help me out for awhile! I am so thankful for her help...it is nice to be able to relax and know that he is being cared for so well. And it is so much fun for our kids to be getting to know each other also! The pictures below are from a couple weeks ago when they came over to our house for a bit.

Cruz is always bugging Ellie...poor girl.
