We're incredibly blessed in that our original choice (and hope) for a nanny was suddenly available and now we have Super Nanny Sue who has already won the boys over completely. Some background, again for those of you just joining the story, Sue is Kathy's best friend from NY. Kathy, in fact babysat/nannied/mommie's helpered Sue's kids. They turned out pretty great so we knew Sue would be awesome and she's already a part of our family so this was a no-brainer.
Sue came to the rescue very quickly (YAY Sue!) and has been doing a remarkable job. We see improvement in Kevin. He's very nearly back to his old happy / chatty self. Jason is definitely less cranky and sensitive. The pall has lifted and happiness reigns.
So, in future installments, when we say "Sue did this..." or "Sue made the boys laugh so hard that milk shot out of their noses" well, you'll know who we mean.
A huge thanks to Joe and Di (this is actually being written by Kathy because our ridiculous HP and blogspot won't let me log in or access the site unless I pretend to be Joe, so, whateverrrr) - back to the story - a huge thanks to Joe and Di who were interim Nanny and Manny while we figured out what we were going to do because naturally we canned the old nanny without really having a plan. Joe and Di did a great a job and the boys had a wonderful time visiting Reading, meeting new relatives, playing with new friends and hanging out with their cousins.
More gratitude and shout outs to:
- Mom and Dad (Opa and Oma or Grandpa and Gramma) for the adorable Halloween outfits and the super handy vinyl bibs
- Cindi, Joey and Molly for the adorable video and for entertaining the wee lads so well
- Diane - for the super cute tippy sippy cups that have been a b-i-g hit
- Brian - we're all praying for you!
- Andrew (Drew to his family/friends) - Kicky and Jumpy are enjoying your wardrobe immensely and look pretty darn sharp, if they do say so themselves!
I'll try to post shorter things more frequently. Measurements and new photos - tonight.
Kathy
