Appreciation

The woman in this photograph was a HUGE help to us right after Cash was born. Meet Aunt Shasha, Fran's sister who often comes to visit from Michigan with her two boys Zeb and Orion. This past time she arrived solo to assist us with James, George, and the new babe. I cannot begin to thank her for all of her time and devotion she displayed during the week she was here. Some of her acts of kindness included: waking up with James and George on a daily basis (usually around 6:00 a.m. and maybe even earlier), feeding them breakfast, reading countless books, bathing them, consoling George in the wee hours of the morning when he got sick, watching Cash while I snuck out to do some girly stuff (amongst other errands), and basically just being present for anything that might make our lives a little bit easier.
Aunt Shasha, the boys absolutely adore you and we can't wait to see you again in October. Thank you so much for all that you did for us!
