Cause of confusion: I'm a part time nanny (for 2 families), childcare worker (at church), house cleaner, and what I'm calling "mother's helper" (for at least 3 familes, but I'd have to check my calendar to be sure.) Here's what today (a pretty normal day) looked like
7Am -Up, Coffee, out the door at 8.
8:30-12:30 Job 1 . Clean a 5000 sq. ft house
1-3 Job 2. Mother's helper. Fold and put away laundry, make school lunches (8 ham sandwiches, 10 baggies grapes, 10 baggies pretzels, 5 baggies goldfish)
3:30-6:30 Job 3. Mother's helper. Hang out with kids (14,12,9) Make cookies with kids, start homework. Clean kitchen.
7:15 Home. Relax.
This does not leave me nearly enough time to work on my Christmas projects! So far I have 5 (and one on the needles) of these hats made for the little kiddies I watch. That only leaves me about 6 or 8 more :P If I promised you a hand made Christmas gift this year, I'm sorry. It might not be done until next year....

So I don't exactly remember Christmas 15 years ago, but the family videos are a big help! :o) I also see you are getting good use out of the camera! You're a crazy picture-taking person! Anyways... can't wait to see you guys!
What adorable hats! I'm sure your little charges will greatly appreciate them (I know their mothers definitely will!)
I'm jealous about the: 7:15 coffee; part of your schedule. My homeopathic remedy is antidoted by coffee. AAAAAAAAGH!
Hey Ali,
I guess you are following in my footsets with the unusual last names. Oh well...
Hats look cute. One for Emma? Can you drive and knit too? You do multitask, don't you?
