Jenny

As many of you know, our beloved nanny, Jennifer, said good-bye to us 2 weeks ago. It was a sad day in the Hunt household, especially for Ethan. Jennifer has been with us since we moved to Glen Ellyn and has been beyond wonderful to all of us. She was a trooper, going through quite a few changes as our families grew...first adding Ellie to the mix and then Henry. I know her days were crazy, but fun filled.

Jennifer and her husband, Matt, moved to Arizona for bigger and better things. Matt got a job at a university there with some great opportunities and they decided what a better time than now to pack up and head southwest for a new adventure and better weather!!

Jennifer, Ethan, Ellie, and Henry had a blast on her last day with the Rice's nanny, Katelynn (who happens to be Jennifer's best friend), and the Rice boys, Jack and Brooks. The had lunch at 2Toots and headed to the park for a final hoorah...

Jenny and Ethan

As you can see in the picture above, Ethan and Jennifer adore each other. We get a kick out of the fact that he calls her Jenny, a name she hates. I think Ethan and Katelynn might be the only people she will let call her Jenny. We have no idea where he picked Jenny up, but it is pretty cute and we get a kick out of it every time he says it. While I am pretty sure Ellie and Henry don't really have any idea that Jennifer is gone, I know that Ethan misses her a ton. He always says he is taking his airplane to visit Jenny, Matt, Mia and Lola! Awwww...someday!

Jennifer was absolutely one of the best things that happened to us when we moved. You see, she is amazing and someone that is irreplaceable. She has been a life saver in many instances and such a positive influence on the kids; she will surely be missed! We wish her and Matt (and Mia and Lola) the best of luck in their new endeavor, but we will welcome her back with open arms if she ever finds her way back to the Midwest.
