We Really Do Have the Best Friends in the World
One of the more humbling aspects of bringing our daughter into the world has been the support and generosity of our wonderful friends Just a sampling:
- The TC-Alts "Hotdish Brigade," who have ensured that we have stayed well-fed, as well as giving great advice and keeping me entertained and sane while on bedrest. You guys are the best. I mean it.
- All the others who have brought us food — from mac and cheese to quiches to chicken rotel to chili to chocolate and more; we've never eaten so well.
- Friends from across the world and around the country who have sent adorable clothes and toys. The mail has been so fun to collect every day!
- People who have helped us out with work, housework, errands, and a plethora of tasks.
- Local friends who have stopped by to see us and meet our daughter — you've brought generous and lovely gifts, but most importantly, you've brought yourselves and your love into our daughter's life.
- Cards, calls, emails and IMs from all over, checking up on us, telling us how beautiful Beatrix is, sending your love.
- Our incredible neighborhood. Last night we brought Beatrix to a potluck party and she got to know our wonderful neighbors. She loved it.
- People who have brought me close to tears any number of times by reminding me of my mother and how much she would have loved Beatrix.
- Our families.
We could not be happier to have all of you as part of our lives and especially in hers.
