Dear Karla, thank you. XO

Merci beaucoup Eva. Vous êtes si doux. Je l’espère vous aviez un merveilleux séjour! XOXO

Thank you so much for dropping by Lisa. Hudson is very dear, and we’re also very thankful for his three big brothers who are super helpful with him.

You’re very sweet Cheyanne. Good things come in small packages. I probably couldn’t have have handled that scene as easily when he was a baby. But I’m growing right along with Hudson as he grows, learning all the time. (And I have a feeling there are lots of lessons still to come.) There’s something therapeutic about writing our adventures, I feel like the journey is somehow shared. Thanks for being part of that, and for the finger and toe crossing too. xo

Dear Tracy – You are so kind, friend. Thank you for sharing in the joys and the hard stuff. You are such a blessing to me. I have appreciated all your help and encouragement on this journey. xo

Dear Carina, Thank you for your sweet thoughts. I have said in other posts before almost exactly what you said here. I have realized that if I numb myself to the pain and difficulties, I will also be numb to the joys. I don’t want to miss out on any of the joy, and so I consciously attempt to embrace the difficulties too. So thankful for your friendship across the miles. Thank you. xo
