Indicate the route to my habitual abode

My welcome banner


My first few days in the Preece household have been great.  I honestly feel quite spoiled and very very fortunate to have stumbled into this opportunity.  I mean, really, who gets to go play all day at the park with some fun kids and then gets to have the evenings off??  Does that sound like work?  Hard to believe that I get paid for this!

Obviously the whole family is great, but I get to spend more time with the kiddos.  First, there's Carter who can talk non-stop for limitless amounts of time and is quite convinced that he's much smarter than me  (he's probably not too far off.)  Then there are the twins, Sammie and Cate.  And yes, I can tell them apart.  It's fun how different their personalities are even with all their similarities.

My first day was pouring rain outside so we spent the morning with carter producing endless puppet shows, making zucchini bread muffins (with lots of great help), and reading lots of stories.
The following days have been fabulous and we've spent most of the morning outside and then playing with toys and reading inside.  The days really pass pretty quick.
In spite of all the perks, I'm excited to get into a routine and get a little more structure to our days.  I'm also really looking forward to meeting my new ward and not being a homebody.   Poor Jennie and Mike probably think they've hired a recluse.  As good as it is now- it's only getting better!!
