This landed in the few weeks in August where we donāt have nanny help. Our Au Pair returns to South Africa this month, and weāre still in the process of bringing a new one to help us out. Plus, my parents are on a three-week Alaskan cruise, otherwise Iād ship the kids there for one night (they love crashing with Nana and Poppy).

Noting that the waitlist is thinning quickly Iāve sent out a feeler to a couple of Dallas guys in my Bandon group (one played in last yearās Pine Dunes event) to see if they have interest and are available if needed.

While this is a common comment when people find out that we have an Au Pair, Iād highly encourage folks to at least explore the programs available. Even after all the up-front fees, our au-pair is cheaper on a monthly basis than full-time child care for two kids. And unlike day care, she drives, helps with laundry/meals for the kids, helps with schoolwork / lessons, is capable of her own decision making, offers flexible hours, teaches the kids about her culture and family life, and has become a loved member of our family. Weāre in the process of sending a birthday present to our very first au pair, and hoping that when she and her parents do some traveling later in the year theyāll all come stay with us, and she hasnāt been our au pair for two years now.
Full transparency, ours are both in elementary school now so the cost model breaks down some, but we continue with the au pair program because the young women that we meet are exceptional people who take incredibly good care of our kids, and the flexibility that it gives our family is worth the incremental investment.

@DuckDuckHook and I have yet to chat about pairings. The breakdown right now is 17 Okies and 19 Texans.

Two requests for the Texans:
-
Who would like to be de facto team captain and take lead on pairings (or just consent to random draw)? I have no capacity right now.
-
Who is willing to cross the red dirt line in the sand and play for Oklahoma to make it 18 v. 18. We already appreciate @andyman8 volunteering to do so. But we need one more to make the sides even.
