Back in the Northland.....

The Amazing Katie...

My 48 Hours in AZ was great!!!!  Perfect weather, time alone relaxing with Jeff, delicious food, and no schedule!!!!  Another day would sure have been nice!!

I am so thankful that we were able to leave the girls (again) with our fabulous babysitter, Katie.  We have known Katie since she was 15 years old.  She is now a Senior in college  getting ready to graduate with a degree in Elementary Ed.  Next year she will begin her masters.  What a gift it is to leave your kids at home, and know that they are happy, safe, and loved. 

From the non-stop chatter they had with me when I returned, it was evident they had a ball.
Ainsley could not get a word in, because Ruby had so much to tell me!!!!  The highlights were watching "HSM3,"  making pizza's, going to the library, making chocolate pudding & chocolate chip cookies, doing art projects, dancing & singing, and playing in the snow!  Thank you Katie for blessing us!  You are a very hard act to follow!!

Where should I go next?  :)

Glad you had a nice trip!Arizona is one of my favorite places in the world!! Considering it's 28 degrees here in NJ, AZ REALLY sounds good now :) We have been to Scottsdale many times and I always leave wishing I was staying. It is so beautiful in that area of the country. What a blessing that you have such a wonderful sitter for the girls!
