This post is one of the most special ones I have done to date...for me anyway. I wanted to stop and take the time to thank some very important people. Let's begin!
To Mom and Dad: Thank you both so much for being such caring and loving parents/grandparents. You have stuck with me and this family through thick and thin. You have provided and cared for us when we needed it most, and we will NEVER forget that. Thanks for putting up with Mamma Haskell through difficult pregnancies and long recoveries. Thanks for babysitting the babies and being so helpful to poor Daddy Haskell when it seemed like the household was comin' down! Thank you for the sweet care packages, Friday/Saturday night dinners at your casa, and everything else you have given to us...you inspire us to be more giving of ourselves each day. Most of all, thanks for bringing us smiles and joy! We love you! (P.S. Joshie, we love you too, and thank you for being such an awesome uncle!)
To Grandma: You are such a wonderful woman! We love having you around ALL of the time, and the children just adore you. Thank you for babysitting the children as well, and thank you for cooking such wonderful meals(there is nothing like Madge food!). I know this year has not been easy for you (or for us), but you continue to give of yourself and that means so much. You also inspire us to be more giving, kind, and gracious...and you have taught this Momma to not complain, for I have never heard you do so. We love you!
To Steve, Celia, and Nate: We all thank you for being so kind and loving as well. Thanks for the help during those difficult pregnancy days too, and for being an ear to listen. Thank you for being sweet grandparents and a great uncle. We wish you all of the blessings that God can give! We love you!
To friends--Misty & Rob, Tina & Randy, Jill & Steve, Sheridan & Doug, Dianne, and those we may have forgotten to list: Thank you for the calls, prayers, lunch dates, kiddy play times, babysitting, lifegroups, smiles, laughs, and good times! Blessings to you all!
This Momma just wanted to take time to recognize those in life that make it just a little bit better each day! Without you, this family would be lost and lonely! I am sorry that I haven't sent paper thank you notes to each and every one of you, but I hope this makes up for it!

How sweet of you to post these comments. I love you so much, and the kids make my life complete. Why would anyone complain when they have been allowed to have the blessings I have? Each one of you is so precious to me. Thanks for your comments. I love checking your blog every day.
