Good morning, DDA!
I'm going to try to sneak in a quick catch up before my charges start arriving. Sorry if I miss anyone.
Beth - Your sister is in my prayers.
Jennifer - You and those sweet babies are always in my prayers.
Bernadette - Love the Beaker head!
Deb - Hope the new job is going well. Good luck on the 6am wake up call. I am trying to work my way to something closer to that so that I can get things done early, but keep resetting the alarm.
Tammy - Sounds like a fun field trip! I hope you all had a good time.
Jen - Love those pictures!
Becky - I hope the cyst is gone by the follow up. I hope you just have allergies hanging on and don't get sick. I'm with Elin...BOOK THE TRIP!!!
Glynis - Sounds like a good Halloween there. Would have loved to see Walt at the Wax Museum! A Nook Color would be so nice! I had never wanted an eReader until lately when it's gotten harder to get to the library and I keep not having anything to read.
Debbie - Love the new pictures!
Marci - My prayers for you continue!
(Okay, didn't make it before the charges, but now I can finish.

)
We had a good Halloween. Terra loved her costume and even had several people know just who she was so you can't ask for more than that. Deva is most certainly growing because her costume barely fit. Someone had given us a newborn size outfit that looked like a mouse and it was just almost too short. I'll post pictures later today if I can, but otherwise will do it this weekend.
I also have a new charge. They called me Mon and she started Tues. It's nice because the hours are a little less than the others for the same basic pay, plus it's only 4 days. The mom saw an add I placced and recognized my name (or maybe her mom recognized me). The went to our church when I was in jr high/high school and she grew up with kidss I babysat as a teen. I'm thinking that I may even have babysat her a time or two. She's almost 2 so a little younger than I was originally thinking, but I'm hoping she'll be a good playmate/company/distraction for my 2yo. I'm hoping it's not just coincidence, but the 2yo had a much calmer day with her here yesterday even though they played separately more than together. The key was that the 2yo actually
played as opposed to just running around chewing, throwing and standing on everything in site.
One last thing...I don't have time to go into details but Kristi and Chris could use prayers for guidance in job situations right now. Things are up in the air once again. Grr. Thanks!!!
