Keith's work

Keith works a swing shift, which means he is gone every evening.  This is a tough schedule to have, but we are used to it.  There are some nice things about it, so I try to focus on those instead of the negative things. Now that Caitlyn is in school all day, it is really tough because she doesn't get to see Keith much.  Keith takes every opportunity to spend time with her.  He volunteers in her class once a week and is taking her on her field trip next week.  We just do the best we can to make it work. This summer will be nice because she will have a lot of time with him. We also try to meet him for dinner as often as we can.  Now that the weather is warmer we like to go eat dinner by the lake at his work.

The kids love feeding the big catfish and ducks in the lake. 

It is a little more stressful now with Wyatt.  We have to really keep our eye on him.  He makes me so nervous when he is by the water.  He loved the ducks.  He kept yelling, "ma ma, quack quack" while pointing at the ducks. 

Let's be honest Jonah makes me nervous too!  Caitlyn has a healthy fear of falling in the water. 

Wyatt had fun feeding the ducks.  A piece of bread could last a year for him with the tiny pieces that he ripped off.

I love this picture of Wyatt and Keith.  Wyatt adores Keith.  For a few months he would scream when Keith left and he was left with me.  Now he seems to want me too, but I think he would still chose Keith over me.  Keith is such a good dad.  With his crazy work schedule and busy school schedule we don't get as much time with him as we would all like, but Keith is so unselfish with his time.  He spends quality time with the kids every chance he gets.  I'm so grateful because I don't think this crazy schedule would work otherwise.

I love this picture of Jonah.  He is such a handsome little guy.  We had my nephew all set to babysit for us Saturday night so Keith and I could go out with some friends so of course Caitlyn got sick. We have had some weird flu that is taking almost two weeks to move through the family.  One of these days we will get out, but this weekend we enjoyed some fun family time.
