Thank You

A special Thank you to all of our friends and family who have helped us out these last couple weeks...without you, I would not have survived. Recovering from a c-section, nursing a baby, sleepless nights, and an unhappy 2-year old...makes for LOTS of challenges...Thank you to my mom for coming over the first few days in the mornings to care for Jacob, take care of me, feed both of us, and let me take naps...Thank you for moral support and unconditional love. Also, a special Thank you to my mom for also helping me while she is caring for Baby Alyssa too (4-months old) since Karen has returned to work. My mom is super busy right now, but she still finds time to help us as well. We love you Grandma Joey! Thank you to Rocky's Mom, Olivia for all that she does for us...she has been coming over every morning by 7am to help me get Jacob out of his bed (since I haven't been able to lift him), feed him breakfast, and entertain him while I rest and tend to the baby. A major Bonus is she cleans the house too and it always looks fantastic- Thank you Grandma Olivia! Thank you to my sister, Loren and Baby Mason for making the trip to the Suburbs once a week the last couple weeks to make us lunch, entertain Jacob, keep us company, clean, and watching Emme while Jacob and I went to Spanish class one day. We love you Lowen (as Jacob says). Thank you to Cara for spending the day with Jacob while I was in the hospital - he LOVES spending time with his Aunt Cara- they did crafts, had lunch, played, etc. This was very special for Jacob, especially during this major transition in his life. Thank you Aunt Cara. Thank you to all of the visitors in the hospital and at our home. The gifts, cards, food, phone calls, emails mean the world to us. We are all so blessed to have such wonderful people who care about us and who will watch both Jacob and Emerson grow. We love you.Emme and her Big Cousin, Brenden
