Juvy

We haven't written about Juvy yet. Juvy is Ava's nanny and we consider her part of our family. We met Juvy in spring of 2010 when Lisa brought Ava back home to Saigon and we didn't know it at the time, but we've been so fortunate to have such a great nanny for her.

Having a nanny was inevitable with two working spouses and we had reservations about leaving her with a complete stranger. However, we softened over time and realize now when Juvy comes through the gate at 6:45 am Ava runs to the door to say hi to her "tita" (Phillippino for Auntie) she is really saying "I love you tita!"

Juvy is on the right and to the left is another friend of hers with "baby kanu" a younger boy that Ava used to play with before he went back to New Zealand. She is beyond responsible, is so loving and caring, and I'm so appreciative of her efforts. I think it's about time that we give another raise!
