Childcare decisions

I am a little over a week away from going back to work. My mother-in-law is going to watch the girls the five days before Thanksgiving break. Then they will start at daycare on Dec 1. God truly opened a door for us with an in-home sitter in Ankeny. It is going to be nice to be 2 minutes from her house. We went last night for a visit and Abby instantly made herself at home. There is another little girl her age that goes there so hopefully they will get along well. It is actually a couple that is going to be watching the girls and they are Christians which is very important to us. We are thankful for the lady that has watched Abby for two years, but we are looking forward to having them closer to home, especially when the weather gets bad.
