Thank Goodness for Good Friends!

Well, we were very disappointed yesterday when our new nanny decided she was not prepared to commit to working every day... SO - we are again looking for a nanny (any recommendations are welcome)! Thankfully our dear friend Lauren just moved to town and is still on her own job hunt - so she is helping us out in our bind until we find someone new! Thank you, Lauren!!!

Hopefully this is all just a part of God's plan to get the perfect person in place to care for our children - in the meantime, Aubry and Reede are LOVING Lauren!! When I told Aubry that Lauren would be there when she woke up from her nap - she replied "Yay!"

Preschool Applications

Living in NYC is crazy... and part of that crazy is the preschool application process... Since Aubry will be 3 next year, I had to try today to obtain some applications for her to enter a 3's program somewhere... This morning I called several schools and ended up with 5 applications. The first ringing I heard (as opposed to a busy signal) - I was in shock! Then I was so excited that a human answered and I got an application! I actually got applications to my two top choices! We are on the waitlist at one school for an application and the circuits were overloaded at 2 others that I like. I will be calling 3 other schools over the next month to see if they will allow us to apply. Crazy - right? You hear stories all the time, but now I will get to see first hand.

There is a good chance we will rearrange our list a hundred times before we finally make a decision - let's all pray that Miss Aubry shines and the admissions directors decide to take a chance on this "unconnected" family!!
