Our Many Thanks...

Last week I got to witness my parents in a way I've never seen, or perhaps taken the time to appreciate in the past. They came for the first 9 days in September, just as we were finishing moving from one house to the next. Their timing was perfect and I only wish it could have lasted longer. Individually they had no needs or wants of their own - their sole purpose was to help and serve us - whether that meant painting, cooking, cleaning, unpacking or spending time with the girls. Dad managed to paint (after applying a coat of primer first, of course) the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, living room and toy closet. Mom spent every waking minute with the girls and even found time to cook all the meals. Words can't express our gratitude and the tremendous help you have been mom and dad - know that we take to heart all that you do for us!
