Two More Babies on the Scene

Hello everyone!

I apologize for the length between postings. I have recently begun nannying for three kids, so my days are fuller than before. They are friends of ours from church, so David already knows the kids. I actually feel like telling them that I feel guilty taking their money because I am getting paid for David to be on play dates. The three kids are Matthew, Mary Kate, and Michael. They are seven, five, and three. While I adore all of them, it has been fun to hang out with Mary Kate because we get to have "girl time."

Since my last posting, I have attended the Glory to Him homeschool co-op picnic. I am all signed up for the co-op and really looking forward to it. I think it will help me as I begin this new adventure. I am not committing to do this for more than this next year. Ed and I have decided to see where God leads us next year, but for now, I know that this is the best decision for David.
It is quite freeing to know that I don't have to lock myself into something just because I am doing it this year. I think that feeling locked into something has held me back in the past because I didn't think it was OK to change my mind. Funny how we change, huh?

Our friends, John and Dana Avery, had their fourth child this last Friday. After three boys, Dana finally gets her little girl!!! Her name is Josie Kay Avery. I wish I would have saved the email from John with the stats. All I remember for sure is that she weighed over eight pounds. I got to spend an hour with the proud parents and Josie on Saturday. It was a lot of FUN! I am glad that I have all these girls around to hang out with and spoil since I don't have one of my own.

My Uncle Don and Aunt Lynne in Texas are grandparents to a little named Anna Elizabeth Allemann. She was born on Monday, August 21st at 12:00 am. She was 21 inches long and weighed seven pounds and two ounces. The proud parents are Andrew and Stacey. The picture that is posted here is of Anna. Isn't she precious?

Look forward to hearing from all of you out in cyberspace!
