A short week this week with Friday being July 4th. Exercise and Pledge of Allegiance every morning as soon as everyone arrives. And this week we had fun talking about the festivities that are going to occur on the fourth. We looked at many pictures of fireworks, made lots of “kaboom” sounds, talked about freedom (key word being “free”), read two cute books called “Tommy celebrates the 4th of July” and “Happy Birthday America”, sang Happy Birthday to American & had fun with celebration play as we marched around the house holding high our American flags. Perhaps in your weekend activities you might want to make mention of our country having its’ birthday as we celebrate with fireworks like great big candles on a cake. “KABOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!”
On Monday & Wednesday we played with our Lego and Duplo building blocks which seem to be one of the favorites. Everyone loves to build but we have to work fast before Davis and Bryce have fun knocking down the tall structures. This has always been a great activity for team building and parallel play. The kids love it and engages all ages.
Tuesday was our only water day this week. As a friendly reminder … please remember to send a plastic bag for your little one’s wet clothes.
My daughter, Stacy, worked for me on Thursday as I had to attend a funeral of a friend. It was a light day ……….. Alex & Preston were not here and Carter & Sloane left early for an early holiday start. Stacy will also work for me next week on Tuesday through Friday while Ms Sandra is on vacation. Stacy will be with the toddlers while I care for the infants.
Have a fun long weekend and be careful celebrating on the fourth. If you are traveling, as several of you are, I pray for safe travels and joyous visits with family and friends.
Blessings to all.

Grandma's Philosophy
Research shows at least 80 percent of a child's brain development occurs by age three & as much as 30% of that brain capacity can be lost without a nurturing environment that encourages learning during those early years. The first years bring "doors of opportunity” that open a child’s life forever. Working hand-in-hand with parents, we provide a balanced mix of love, playtime, rest, devotions and learning activities, always striving to foster self-esteem, in a Christian focused environment as our little ones walk through these early doors of opportunity.
About Grandma
I strive to honor God in everything I do. I enjoy motorcycles, motorboats and scuba diving. I love my husband and my family and I adore my grandchildren. I have always had a heart for children. If children are around, I'm frequently the one on the floor playing with them. After 20+ years in HR, Accounting & Office Management, I chose a self employed venue in child care with aspirations of making a difference in the lives of children. I am a certified Professional Child Care Administrator licensed with the TDPRS to care for twelve children, ages infant thru pre-kindergarten. I employ one full-time assistant. I love my job but it's hard to let go when it's time for the children to move on. Even though they are not my grandchildren, I bond with them as if they were. Alas, tis the nature of the business. But if I can instill in them an excitement for learning, sow a few Godly seeds in their lives, if they can see Jesus thru me, it's certainly worth it.
About Ms Meagan
Megan has worked with children for many years both in the day school and Bible school environment. After trying her hand as a Paralegal, she decided to change her career path, go back to school and is now enrolled in college courses both on-line and at night at a local community college. Megan is focusing on a degree in Early Childhood Education/Child Development. Working here at GHD will provide her opportunities of practical application and she likes the aspect that it will allow her time to work on her studies while the children are napping. She anticipates staying with us for three years while she continues her studies and then pursues a career in the field of Early Childhood Education. I’m thrilled with the direction God has led me in finding Megan.
