thank goodness for amazing friends!

I was feeling unbelievably under the weather today and wasn't the best mother in the world while I layed on the couch all day and watched Tate completely destroy our house! Around 4 o'clock, Lora contacted me knowing that I wasn't well. She asked if she could help. I don't usually accept help in situations like this because I feel bad, but I took her up on her offer. Without hesitation, she immediately drove over, walked in the door, gave me a hug and snatched Tate away for the night. No questions asked, just took off. And it was amazing...I knew he would be much better at their house than ours! And he had a blast, and I slept DEEP for over 2 hours and awoke feeling a million times better than I felt all day! She brought Tate back in time to go to bed and he was fed and happy. When she left, he had a melt down big time...he didn't want her to leave! So he made me call her so he could tell her thank you and I love you! And he does love her and that whole family...truly loves them! He asks to go to their house every day...really every. single. day. And Sean and I love them just as much! It is so wonderful having such amazing friends so close by! Thank you thank you thank you, Lora for helping me out today and just for being you! I love you!

I can relate Jennie! I was sick last Tuesday and Tony's mom watched Hadley. It was such a relief to get some sleep! Hope you are feeling better. I love reading your blog....the post about Maggie brought tears to my eyes! The picture that you and your mom painted was beautiful!!!!!
Hope all is well!
