| Hi. ahem. Umm, My name's Chris Parker.
I live in Oak Park, that's a suburb.
They probably figured that out. huh
This is Brad, Sarah and Daryl and we're in trouble.
Ain't no doubt!
See me and my boyfriend Mike, tonight's our anniversary.
But then he went and canceled and now I'm stuck watchin' these three.
And it's so hard...
And it's sooo hard...
Babysittin' these guys.
She's got the......
I got this call from Brenda. I went to pick her up.
Tire had a blow out and my mom's car got shot up.
And these guys started to chase us.
And we all got hijacked. huh
We were cruising down the highway,
In this big, ol' Cadillac.
And it's so hard!
YEAH!
It's so hard...
Babysittin' these guys.
She got the.....Babyyyy sittin' blues.
Baby, baby. Babysittin' blues.
I've got the...Babyyyy sitting blues.
Well alright!
There's nights....you swear you were born to lose. Like tonight.
And you wish your feet were walkin' in someone else's shoes.
Some guys are out to get us.
And Brenda's probably dead.
We ain't got a nickle.
And they should be in bed. And you outta luck.
Outtaaa luck, watchin' these guys.
I've got the....Babyyyy sitting blues.

Not nearly as exciting as hanging with Elizabeth Shue...but nonetheless | | |
| I'll admit to slacking on the updates for awhile... Perin and Paul were married, honeymooned and then decided to move to New Zealand! Which meant a somewhat spontaneous trip to Atlanta to have a weekend together with my sibs. It was a lot of fun and good to have time before P&P leave for NZ for a couple years (hopefully I'll get to go visit somewhere in there - them and Middle Earth )

Maddy's early lessons in using the Force now be Lions!
Also had a great gathering (Cotuit in Maine) in June with some old friends which was really nice - good food, good times and hopefully we'll be able to do it again next year.
Jonathan's family reunion was a week in June too and I got to spend the weekend up there and then most of the family came down to Boston for an exciting Red Sox game.

The Fall has brought new things - house hunting online, driving by potential houses, learning about mortgages, real estate and so much more! Part of it are super fun, but parts are stressful and frustrating. With that in mind we're laying low this fall to allow as much time and energy for that process.
Work for me now brings the insanity of the holidays starting primarily with Halloween - though there have already been multiple committee meetings for Halloween and Christmas both. Halloween involves around 26 trick-or-treat stations, costumes for any child staying in the hospital who needs one and unbelievable amounts of candy and "non-edibles" for kids who can't eat. It's so much fun, but a heck of a lot of work. | | |
| First weekend in January we hauled out to San Francisco for Pering and Paul's wedding which was tons of fun! IT was great to hang with the family, a great party and we even got to see a smidgeon of San Francisco (and I got to try out the Wii...did ok with bowling, got blown away on tennis) Here's a few pictures, but there will probably be more at some point.

| I realized I never officially updated the fact that I got the job I was waiting to hear on early last spring before the trip to Israel. So here it is, I've been working at the Hospital since mid-April, so almost a year now. I am loving it! My unit involves both an inpatient and outpatient population varying from a few days old, to occasionally 45 years old! The kids have varying diagnosis and some are in and out quickly, others stay awhile or return to us frequently. The entire outpatient aspect is research studies with kids while the inpatient is both research and general medical hospitalizations. I work with a great group of staff both on my unit and in the Child Life department (there are 32 of us spread out around the hospital!)
The other highlight of the fall has been watching the Patriots in high-def. They have had an unbelievable year and now there's just 24 hours left to find out how the season will end. Tough, though, since I have some affection for the Giants. My brother has already requested a bet on the game as they're his team so I'll let you know how that comes out, since there will be photographic evidence of whoever loses!
So just a few pictures of life here abouts...  A few days after camp we came home to this...we'd been raided, at home!
