[Highland Park] invite: highlandparkparents playgroup
by Jennifer Brackney 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hello! All interested parents are invited to join us with your children for our first playgroup. Our first playgroup is planned this coming weekend, Saturday January 19th at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church on Hampton (www.standrewspgh.org) The third Saturday of each month, from 9:00 am until 10:30 am, the upstairs chapel and nursery space is reserved for our group. Many thanks to BruceR, rector of St. Andrew's for allowing us to use this space! I am hoping our first meeting will also be a brainstorming session for a vision of where we can grow with the group. As I have shared in previous emails, the Chicago neighborhood from where we moved in June 2007, had a wonderful, diverse Parenting Support Network (PSN). This served as a resource for neighborhood parents, a network to welcome new neighbors with children and also to welcome current neighbors who become new parents. It grew over the years to include playgroups on weekdays and weekends to include groups of different ages. Leesa Phaneuf has already initiated the playgroup that is presently held during the weekdays. Hopefully our efforts and ideas combined as a community will grow to become a wealth of blessing to the parents of Highland Park. Looking forward to meeting you. Please feel free to give me a call on my cellphone with any questions: 773-454-4504 Jennifer Brackney (Samuel: 15 months)

[Highland Park] babysitter list
by Alison Bogle 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hello Neighbors, Over the last year and a half I've seen many posts asking about babysitters, but of course I didn't think to follow up with anyone then. If anyone has compiled a list (or knows where I can find one) of great neighborhood/local babysitters and wouldn't mind passing on the information, that would be fabulous! Thanks!

[Highland Park] Martial Arts Instruction for Kids?
by Heather Conrad 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

Both of my boys, ages 10 and 7 1/2 are interested in "Karate." My husband and I would like to know if anyone has recommendations for a good studio for working with kids on some sort of martial arts. The boys want kicking and jumping, and we are assuming that discipline and self-control are part of the package, but would want a do jo (?) (studio) that teaches responsible control. Does anyone have experience with a good option for kids? We'd prefer something in the area to minimize the amount of running around required. Many thanks in advance, Heather Conrad

Because of his friendly nature, I believe he has a loving owner and he is just lost. He is very sweet and is good with kids as well as other dogs (we have 3). We would like to reunite him with his owner or find a new home for him. We cannot keep him too long, as my daughter is already starting to get attached to him and we are not able to keep him. He is white and caramel colored, with golden eyes. He does not appear to be neutered. He is full grown but I could not guess his age. She found him at the intersection of Stanton Ave and Chislett St. We have checked all of the lost dog sights and did not find anything about him. We did not post because I am not sure how long we are able to keep him. I did report him to Animal Friends and ARL on their lost/found list. We are taking him to ARL tonight to see if he is micro-chipped. My phone # is 412-418-5358.
