THANK YOUS

I want to thank you all for all the help you have offered to our family over the past weeks. Since this all began, I have been bombarded with so many offers...it is overwhelming. I feel like we are so loved. I also KNOW that everyone else is just as busy as we are...life moves at a fast pace these days for everyone. You are tremendous and we are truly blessed for you to offer time that you probably don't have to give.

I hope I don't forget anyone....but I want to thank each person specifically because I want you to know how much I appreciate it....

Aunt Becky, Aunt Linda, Sabrina, Melissa, Bridget, Tiffany ("Tiff"), Jennifer, Stacy, Rose, Tammy, Allison, Coach-n-Dee, Aunt Leigh, Aunt Shelley...

Tiffanie ("T") and her carpool/babysitting is a great help, as always!

Lydia's godmother, Jennie (ie. "Nanny J") has been a great confident and help when I need her!

Stephanie has been a godsend of information for me! I am so thankful that God placed us in the same line of work. Her daughter has many of the same difficulties as Lydia and Elise, and she has so many suggestions and contacts that are helpful.

And, of course, the grandparents...

All of Papa's offers...and Paw-Paw's help...

Granny's help running here and there (and everywhere), help with housework, and financial help...we are very lucky!

And Grandma's "drop everything" attitude that keeps her coming back anytime she hears an "I'm not so-ok" sound in my voice. This probably started with my birth! Many people would say that I am spoiled, and I agree. :) But, I only pray that my girls will feel just as "spoiled" as I have in my 32 (did I just say 32?) years.

Not to mention all of the prayers and prayer lines that she has been on...we know that prayer is the best medicine!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU!!

Again, if I have forgotten anyone, I apologize...it's only because SO many people have offered to come to our rescue during this difficult time. I appreciate it so much, and beware...as difficult as it is...I may start to take you up on some of the offers. I usually call on my mom after turning down other offers...because, well, she's my mom, right? But, she needs a break too...she's got health and sanity to preserve just like me!
