Thank You!

Yesterday I had a piece of mail returned to me.  It was a Thank You card that I had sent to one of Dave's aunts out in Alberta who had purchased us a wedding gift.  I mailed it in March.  Why it took EIGHT MONTHS to be returned to me, I have no idea.  But it reminded me that it took me close to a year to send out thank you cards for our wedding....  There's no way on God's green earth that I'm ever going to get around to sending out thank you cards for all the baby gifts I've received!

But I do appreciate the gifts!  ...a little overwhelmed by the shear number of them to be honest.  If you've ever wanted to open a lot of presents, just get married and then have a baby!  People are quite generous.

So, here is my public THANK YOU!  for all of the wonderful, thoughtful, and loving baby things we have received over the past 6 months.
