It takes a village: one month gratitude list

5/10/2017

Comments

 
Our son is one month old today and we have been surrounded by a cocoon of love and support.  The threads of that cocoon are our friends, family, and neighbors.  This is an imperfect gratitude list (in somewhat chronological order), but we would be remiss if we failed to communicate our gratitude, humility, and thanks to all of you for kindnesses we have received in only the last month.  Thank you.  We love you.
