Lunch with the Sitters

All our babysitters are growing up and moving on with their lives.  It's like, once they start silly little things like jobs and college, they suddenly don't want to make less than minimum wage while babysitting nine kids.  Go figure.

I'm so sad that we don't get to spend much time with Shannon and Luke anymore.  They are so much fun and really care about our kids.  It's hard to find babysitters that really click well with all the kids and can still maintain authority.  I'm going to miss them as they continue becoming adults and starting their own independent lives.  I hope these two, in particular, remain a part of our extended family.  I kind of think of them as my "other kids".
