I shouldn't have asked, "What Next?" (see previous post) To culminate our lovely week last week we received a letter from our daycare provider on Friday telling us she was closing as of August 1st. I managed the Lyme disease and rattlesnake without breaking into tears, but this one put me over the edge (thanks mom and dad for providing long-distance shoulders). I am a planner, to put it lightly, so not knowing where our child will go when school starts up again at the end of August was distressing. We had wonderful care for Claire last year in a small, in-home daycare. I was frantic wondering if we'd find a place with an opening, much less a similar situation. Thankfully, it's just for the mornings and not full-time. Yesterday I did find a place for her in a daycare down the street from school which everyone raves about; it's just bigger than we were hoping. I'm sure Claire will love the activity, and now that she's a little older she can add to the bustle herself.
We did need to blow off some steam this weekend. Nate went for a long hike with a friend Saturday, catching some native cutthroat trout in the lake beneath the peak they climbed (see picture above). We took turns fishing on the Madison on Sunday, though my kind husband let me hog most of the time. I got my first post-baby trout! It felt great to just lose myself in the rhythm of the water, thinking about nothing but where a fish might be hanging out and how to get my fly out to it.
