I am excited to say that I accepted a job today!! (For those I haven't talked with, I was looking for something part-time, but with 25 or so hours at least, that I could do with Joey). The Lord really answered these prayers and provided a great child-care opportunity for me! 4 days a week for 6 hours a day (and then in a few weeks, 7 hours a day) I'll be watching a 3 1/2 y-o boy in Oakland. It's a bit of a commute for now, but once we move, it should be very close. We had an interview Tuesday, and a trial day today (more for both boys) and everyone had a great time! I look forward to sharing more about this job, but I have to head to bed so I can be all ready to start...tomorrow!
The cool part is that it is from about noon until 6, so I still have my mornings at home! :-)
Thank you so much for your prayers. It is hugely expensive for us to even breathe the air here, and this will help considerably. Saturday I think we may go out and get Joey's next carseat!! :-)

What a blessing for you guys! I'm doing the same thing these days. It's a great little Day Job for Moms who don't want to work away from home. We sort of "piggyback" on someone else's job by taking a cut of their earnings for watching their kids while they work. It's like 2 for 1--AND you get to stay at home!! (or, do you?)
I'd be very interested in hearing how it goes for you....keep posting about the new child in your lives. :)
Congrats Laurie!! That's so great! We haven't seen you guys in so long, we have to hang out soon! We are so excited about your house and that you'll be closer!
Laurie! when phone tag doesn't work I can always post on your blog. Congratulations on the job, so wonderful that you can be with Joey and it will be close to your new home. So many things to be thankful for.
sending our love.
Just wondering how the jobs been going! I'm sure it keeps you more busy now!
