Hey Angelina, I need to borrow your nanny.

I was spoiled in Ohio, in a way other than indulging in Mitchell's ice cream every weekend. Jenna has seven cousins, and with four of them between the ages of 8 and 10, I was able to visit with my sisters, read three novels, surf blogs and watch plenty of TV guilt-free while the older girls "babysat." Jenna had them wrapped around her little fingers and all she had to do was let out a squeal and someone would come running. At times, she was the leader of the pack.....

Since we've been home, there have been several ocassions where she's called out, "Andoo! Puh Poh! Macey! Sinney! Bup! Emma! Yaya!" (Andrew, Porter, Macey, Sydney, Brooke, Emma, Leah). She really misses her cousins. And I do, too! We're on our own again. No basement filled with doll houses, dress-up clothes and art supplies. No cousins to push her on the tricycle, read her books or chase her around. I'm left to my own ideas of entertainment, which, honestly, aren't very entertaining. Luckily, the weather is still great and we spend a lot of time outside "cooking." But I'm running out of options and I really don't know what I'm going to do once Jake's parents leave for their mission! I guess the only obvious thing to do to solve this problem is move to Ohio!!
