So many thank yous to give

Wow... I don't even know where or rather, with whom to start. So many people have helped us out this last week! Please know we are so thankful to everyone for your prayers and well wishes; but there are a few people I need to point out.

First of all, thank you Caitlin and Karie for watching Ceilidh for us Monday evening and Tuesday morning. Sorry you had to skip a few classes Cait (wink), but I'm sure you didn't mind TOO much! ha Ceilidh definitely loved having you here. Karie, thanks for the amazing meal as well as watching Ceilidh for a bit. I appreciate your friendship!

Thank you Susanna for coming to stay with us on Friday. We love having you around! Even though I loved having you here b/c I love you that much, I have to admit the extra hands were nice to have around as well! wink Thank you for always being willing to "jump in the trenches" and help us out. Andrew is very thankful for the pizza too! haha You and Cait will have to come back for pizza on another game day. Maybe I will have had more sleep the night before and will be able to function; and maybe we will actually play like a D1 school and win!

I truly don't know where to begin thanking Suzanne. Besides naming my son after your first born son; I am at a loss for thanking and honoring you. wink Not only did you endure the same 14 hours of labor we did, you then came back to our house and stayed with Ceilidh Tuesday night. When I get home Wednesday, there is dinner on the table, two frozen dinners in the freezer, laundry finished, and enough groceries for the next 5 weeks in my cabinets. I mean really?! Someone asked me the other day if they could just borrow my mother-in-law for a while, and I told them, "no, b/c you wouldn't give her back!" I hope you know I don't love you for what you do for me, but for who you are as a person and as a mother figure in my life. I do want to thank you though for the things that you do. I know for a fact we don't thank you enough.

Lastly, but definitely not least; thank you Andrew for loving me and our children. Thanks for sticking with me through labor, as scary as it can be. Thank you for being an incredible father. Ceilidh has LOVED all her "sfecial" trips to the playground, Target, etc. Thank you for getting up early with her, and for helping me in the middle of night. I know my attitude has been all over the board the last couple of days; and I'm sorry for that. Thanks for your patience. You are my hero. Don't forget that!

Thank you for all the gifts that we have received as well. If you haven't received your personal thank you yet, it is coming. I promise! ha It is just taking me a little longer getting things done these days.

We would not have been able to do it without you!
