Thank you to everyone who loves my kids

Yesterday afternoon, a package arrived at our doorstep. It was for Thomas. Much to Thomas's sheer delight, my cousin had sent him an official Shawn Alexander jersey, hat, and fan finger (is that what you call them?). His eyes were wide as saucers. "You mean I get my OWN jersey?" Colleen lives in Seattle and knows how much Thomas adores the team. She couldn't help herself. Colleen just inched past his mother as Thomas's favorite female.

The same day, JoAnna's daughter, Hannah, Matthew's cousin in law, sent him a Georgia Bulldog keychain which plays the Georgia fight song, a personal favorite of Matthew's.

I woke up this morning and poured ME some milk. "Uh, uh. I want COFFEE milk!" I reached for the coffee syrup, a Rhode Island specialty that my aunt, who lives in Providence, sent to me for the kids. ME drank two huge glasses.

After breakfast, I dressed ME in her new adorable outfit from my mother-in-law for her birthday. She LOVES getting new outfits! She goes in her closet and says, "I want an outfit!" What a female.

I am just feeling really grateful today for everyone who chooses to be a part of my kids lives. You bless me. You bless my kids.

*Kristen never forgets their birthdays by sending a card and present.
*Lauren is always available to play with them and brag on them.
*Mom and Dad take them on great vacations and are always looking for special things for them.
*My inlaws sent Matthew "official" car insurance (they are in the business) for his plastic Hummer. He was thrilled. They also have quarters for the boys who love state quarters.
*My brother and sister-in-law have the boys spend the night and do lots of fun things with them (like meet Dirk Nowitzki!). They always remember them when they are on vacation.
*My aunts ALWAYS send cards for EVERY holiday for them. Even St. Patrick's Day!

I feel so blessed to have so many friends and family who love my kids! Thank you!
