Julie

I can't say enough good things about Julie.  She is a friend that we met a couple of years ago when Chris was still working at IBM, and she was hired on.  We have kept in touch with her as she has moved to different states and had different jobs.

Her kindness in agreeing to watch our girls for a week was huge and certainly not the most fun choice she could have made.  But, she loved our girls, chaufered them around for a week, cooked for them, made cookies with them for Valentine's, painted fingernails, read scriptures with them, and tucked them in at night.  It took a few days to break through the, "I'm too old for a babysitter" attitude from my two oldest until they were having fun and joking around.

This is their "Dinosaur Faces" picture followed by their, "We're having fun and doing ok Mom" picture.  Thanks Julie. (This picture also showed up in our mailbox a couple of days ago as a postcard created from Instagram.  So cool.)
