Thankful...

Since I've gone back to teaching, let's just say that life's been...well, to quote a father on The Nanny, "...like I wake up and get on a moving treadmill all day!" Now this man had 5 boys AND 2 jobs, so my personal "rat-race" doesn't hold a candle to his, I know. And if I'm being honest, the past 9 weeks have not been bad...a blur...but not bad. That's due in part to these very special people in this slideshow.


Dear Tommy, Mom, Aunt Donna, Shan, Dad, Marji & Sarah,

I am SO grateful to you for keeping Will for me. You can't know how much easier it is to be at work knowing that he's in such loving, nuturing hands. I feel so fortunate to have your support and to know that we have people in our life that that love us as much as you do. I'm glad we have a relationship like in this song...

Most appreciative,

Dawn :)

Only 4 more school days left, Will!
Mommy's hurrying!

My cup runneth over... and, my eyes are tearing up from your sweet tribute! The *being grateful* parts works both ways. I LOVED my bonding time with *my boy*. When I fed him, he would look up at me with such trusting eyes, and sometimes, reach out and hold my finger...AND, my heart would just melt. I am the thankful one! You (and, this you means Dayna, too) need me to keep my grandbabies...just call, and I'll be there! cuz, you know, Dibee LOVES those babies, and their Mommies, BIG!

Aw Dawny! I only wish I could have done more! It was our absolute pleasure! How special that Nora has a first little cousin-friend to bond with! Thanks for trusting us with your most priceless treasure!
