Wow, it is already November. For us Catholics, today is All Saints Day, which is a Holy Day of Obligation (you gotta go to mass or you're a big fat sinner). Since I have to work tonight, we went to the vigil mass last night, which was totally not crowded since most people were doing the trick-or-treat thing. It was a really nice mass. For all the Protestants (most everyone I know and love), All Saints Day is the day to remember all the saints (not just the canonized Saints) "who have died and gone before us into the presence of the Lord". Apparently, I particularly like the somber church holidays because I like the services for All Saints and Ash Wednesday the best. But anyway, enough theology. Rebecca wanted to preach a little last night too, so Ramy and I alternated taking her out and coming back in. She blew a big raspberry in the middle of silent reflection and then again when we went up for communion and the sacristan gave her a blessing. Ramy told her she was "gabaten", which is Visayan for "God's going to get you."
We interviewed a couple of otential nannies this week. We loved one but then found out she is moving to Texas in February. The other one was just not what we wanted. So the search is still on. Hopefully the perfect person will be revealed. We're interviewing more the next few days.
