..to raise twins. After being a part of so many other people's villages through teaching and counseling, it is so nice to be on the other end...creating and discovering the village who will help us raise Ruby and Owen. There have been so many visitors and so much help these first months with Ruby and Owen- the village is bigger than we ever expected and is really stepping up to the challenge.
We are so appreciative of everyone's efforts in making the trip to see us or stopping on their way through and lending as much help as possible while they are here. The amazing faces in these pictures helped us run errands to boring places, strolled our babies around and soothed them when necessary so we could get things done. They made food, washed dishes, walked the dog, vacuumed, held babies, entertained us, and most of all, loved our kids. Also, not to be forgotten are our local friends and family. There are a few of you here, but we will get all of ya eventually as your efforts with meals, walks, phone consultations, and general support has been invaluable!
Amy, Shelly, and Bonnie sharin some love
Shelly came with her own baby- Finn the Rhodesian Ridgeback. Puppies and babies- pretty cute.
Aaron(allowed us to convince him to hold both), Uncle Chris (matching outfits), Amato(yes, its true, Owen fell asleep in his arms), and Cousin Finn (just sweet, eh?)
