Thanks for the sweet notes. I can't tell you what a blessing these two are. ..
A friend of mine ended her life this weekend, leaving a daughter without a mother and a whole bunch of us grieving anf wondering why she couldn't let us help her. Spending the days walking around in a stupor, then come home to two little embodiments of joy -- two destructive, messy, disobediant embodiments of joy. I'm sure those of you with kids feel that very thing many times over; that's the way these two can just save my butt and remind me there's plenty of joy in life if we reach for it.

Call me a sappy mess, but man, it's true!
