Happy January!

Ben and I were able to enjoy ourselves the other night thanks to our getting a babysitter. We had our work holiday party and one of the other doctor's daughter watched the kids for us so we could get out just us. It was a mostly uneventful evening... after Owen fell into the side of the tub and smashed his 2 front teeth in... and after Maddie, mistakenly, locked herself in her bedroom and we had to switch the doorknob around... the babysitter came and Maddie wasn't so sure but only 2 minutes later she was holding the girl's hand and showing her all of the toys so it was all good. For all those wondering... the babysitter was here for 4 1/4 hours (through dinner and bedtime) with the 2 munchkins so we were going to give her $35 but didn't have change so ended up giving her $40... probably too much but worth it!

Here are some of the latest pictures...

Don't keep us in suspense...what did the babysitter finally cost?

Hi Owen and Maddie: Oh Owen how are your cute little teeth, sending you kisses and Maddie how cute you look in the snow. As always, Papa and Nonnie miss you both.

We love you.

Yes, glad Owen is ok from his tub-fall! And that is great the kids warmed up to the babysitter. Glad it was a good night out! (I'm with Office Overlord! :)
