Can't Thank Them Enough

Today I am feeling even more grateful than I normally am for having family close by. We have been blessed to have Brad's mom watch Evan on a daily basis and I couldn't ask for a better caretaker. I know he is given such love and care, and I don't have to worry while I'm at work. Amazingly she has been very healthy, and very rarely, if ever, had to miss a day. Unfortunately she got the stomach bug this weekend, and wasn't able to watch him today, or tomorrow. Poor thing - I hope she feels better soon!

So we've had to figure out who else could watch Evan. Brad's schedule is usually pretty flexible but he had a meeting and then a photoshop class to attend today (even though it's not his day to teach). With the way the economy is, I'm extremely busy at work (marketing to get new work of course), and hated to get behind taking a sick day to stay home. Thankfully, with all the family we have around, someone was able to help out. Noel, my step-dad, came to the rescue today and drove 1 hour each way from Melbourne! What a lifesaver. I took a short day going in from 10am-3pm so he could avoid traffic as much as possible. For tomorrow, Brad is able to watch Evan in the morning, and my dad (always saving the day) is going to watch him in the afternoon.

I feel like there really is no way to adequately thank them or repay them all for what they do for us. I hope they know how much it means to us and that if there is anything we can ever do for them, we're there! We love you guys!
