EDITED TO ADD:Okay so is this cool, or what!!!!I just got an email from Sierra. This is what it said:
Hey Jessica!
I just wanted to tell you a quick little story that I forgot to mention when you and Nick came home. This is the conversation me and Carter had while he was setting up the memory cards:
Carter: "So did Jonah dissobey God?"
Me: "Yes he did. But we need to obey and listen to what God tells us to do."
Carter: "I listen to Him and I uh..I diss..no..I.. (wasn't quite sure what the word was that he wanted to use :)
Me: "Behave?"
Carter: "Yeah. I behave Him".....(silence)....... "I am a good guy right?"
Me: "Yes Carter. You are a good guy!"
How cool! Love it......
BAck to the original post:
Well, last night our family had a new experience. We hired a babysitter for the first time EVER! Now, we've had several babysitters, but we knew them well (mostly all family).
I almost hesitate to tell you who she is b/c I don't want her stolen! ;) She is a girl from our church named Sierra. When we moved in to our new house she wrote us a very sweet letter offering to babysit for us if needed (she lives in the neighborhood). Nick was SO impressed and we were all excited to meet her. She came over last week to meet us all and babysat for 3 hours last night!
It went GREAT! Carter had talked all day long about what all he was going to do that evening with his new friend Sierra. I think he fulfilled most of his tasks...I hope they didn't ware her out too much! They played outside and in the basement, and when we got home they were in the middle of a game of Memory (of course, Mason doesn't play - so she was reading him a book and playing at the same time!) Carter says he had "lots and lots of fun!" and can't wait for her to come back!
Thanks, Sierra!

How fun! I actually very vividly remember my first babysitter as a kid. Her name was Jodi (i think) and I remember having so much fun with her! Thanks for sharing! :)
That's great! We have actually never hired a babysitter, either! We were thinking about it lately, though. I think it would be good for Halle--she needs to be comfortable with more people. Too bad we don't live closer to Sierra:)
Glad it went so well. Your sitter is safe from us. We live too far from you and plus we usually have ours already here. Looks like you are having a great summer. julie :)
