A new adventure

Well, I figured it was time for me to find a way to document all of the crazy things that go on in my life. What better way then to keep a diary of sorts on the web! I know I have enjoyed reading the blogs that others do - maybe someone would enjoy reading about what goes on in our house.
So the big news is that we have a new person living in our house - an Au Pair. We decided that we wanted the kids to be able to be home during the day and not be rushed around with us. We were feeling bad as every day was get up, get dressed, get in the car, drop off at daycare, pick up at daycare, get home, make dinner - you can figure out the rest. We were also getting tired of paying so much money - our daycare was worth the high cost but it was making things tough financially.
Anyway, after talking with friends who had decided to get an Au Pair we decided to go for it. We ended up matching with a girl from Thailand - her name is Nini. She is really sweet and totally capable of caring for Luke and Mia. It is just the initial adjustment that is hard.
I went to work today for the first time (she got here Thursday night and it is Wednesday). She called me a few times and I called her. Luke was not being cooperative at all - he tested her to no end. I thought I would come home to her in tears but she was not - she is obvisouly strong and wants to do well. I just hope tomorrow is a better day and that we made the right decision.
