Babysitting Success = Some Dates with the Hubby

So last night was the faculty potluck dinner before school starts next week. We got Natalie her first babysitter (other than the grandparents). Luckily, one of the teachers from her school also babysits so it was someone who she is familiar with. Although this teacher is no longer at her school (she is starting college at Coker and will be one of Paul's students!!), she is still going to babysit. Miss Lizbet (or Elizabeth) is one of ten children and was the only teacher Natalie would go to for the first 4 months of school last year so I felt pretty confident it would go ok. I told her several times that Elizabeth was coming over, we were going out, etc and said she should show Elizabeth her toys. So as soon as she showed up, Natalie was so excited, saying "Come see my toys" and we left without a problem. When we got back she was still playing with Elizabeth even though we were already home. And this morning she asked where she was!! SO I think that we should be able to have a few date nights this semester, other than when my parents or Paul's are in town! WHOO HOO!

New Edition

While I am planning on writing a lengthy blog about our trip to CT and NJ, I don't have the time now. So instead I will share the news...Natalie has a new cousin. Not sure if that is the technical term considering it is my cousin's child, but it is close enough. My cousin Jay and his wife Stephanie had a baby girl on Saturday night...Ciani Louise Douglass. We are so excited to have a playmate on my side of the family. And considering that there are have been a lot of boys in the Douglass family (my dad only has a brother, I was the only female grandchild out of 6), it is so exciting for the next generation to have TWO GIRLS!!! Welcome to the family Ciani. We hope to meet you soon!

And we've found out that our wonderful friends, the Hendersons, are expecting twins! We can't wait to meet them! What an incredible blessing for them!
