Julie

For 3 weeks Jim's sister, Julie, came and stayed with us. It was so nice having her here not only to visit, but to have a helping hand with the day to day tasks of maintaining a home and raising children. I often wondered if what I experienced with Julie here, is how a lot of Moms here feel with nannies.

While she was here we went to the beach, saw a live taping of the Ellen show, went to Disneyland, saw a couple of movies, did the Hollywood tourist thing, ate at Pinks Hotdogs, visited the Santa Monica Pier plus more. We also just hung around the house and went for walks and played the wii. Jim and I also took advantage of her while she was here and we snuck off for a couple of dates with out the kids which is always wonderful.

We had such a great visit with her and the kids loved her too.
