Having Jonathan home, all to ourselves, for a whole week was heaven. He hurt his back and Sami had diarrhea (drinking tub water), but other than those two unfortunate events, it was awesome! We didn't do anything other than the everyday, but it was so nice to have constant help. When I was making dinner or busy and the girls needed something, I sent them to their dad. We stayed up late because Jonathan knew he could sleep in and I knew I could have a nap. Jonathan vacuumed, did the dishes, and helped put the kids to bed. I steamed cleaned our carpets and cleaned out the girls' toys-two things that are really hard without him here entertaining the girls.
I could get real used to having him home a lot more.
The thing about his schedule is that he has to submit his vacation at the beginning of the residency year, so he planned this vacation last year. And for some reason, he took all his vacation at the beginning of this year, so he has another week off in March. Can't wait!!
And a few more random things about Janie. Her hair looks like this, or worse, every morning. Poor thing. Even when I put in in a little pony tail, it still is out of control. Do you have any tricks for hair problems like this?
Janie is now in Sunbeams. (Sniff, sniff. I don't have anyone in nursery anymore. Except Jonathan-he's a nursery worker ☺) So I took her to the bookstore and let her pick out a Book of Mormon to take to church with her. She wanted the cute mini one (which is oddly more expensive than the big ones??).
Later that day, I saw her outside "reading" her new scriptures. I love that. You go, girl! Scripture power! :)

I'm so glad you had a nice week of with Jonathan. What a treat! The last picture of Janie is so, so sweet. Love it!!
So so cute! Macey's hair does the same thing every day! I think it's just because they move so much during the night. It drives me nuts, but maybe when they get older they will stop??
So fun to have them home isn't it:) Hallie's hair does the same thing. I bought some spray-in detangler and I spray it in her hair after she wakes up and it makes it much easier to brush it out in the morning. Works wonders for us! Glad you guys are doing well. I love catching up with you on your blog;)
It sounds like your week was heavenly! And, you got so much accomplished. Jonnie's hair used to look JUST like Janie's-- what a riot. It helped to put some leaven on conditioner in it after the bath tub........
