Thank you so much for your care for my family while I was away. I know that though you did enjoy the company of the boys and were able to attend memorable events like Grandparents day and Owen's birthday party, it was a less relaxing visit than some of those in the past.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your sacrifice in driving long distances to be with our family. I know that not every child has a grandparent who is so willing. I know that not every wife has a mother-in-law so encouraging. I thank you truly for desiring to have a relationship with all of us that is meaningful and lasting.

We are blessed to be family together with you.

Love,
Mary

PS - Does anything else in this cabinet make you think it's where we keep sippy cups? And did you know that I would jump out of my skin when I opened this cabinet and saw Batman looking down threateningly at me? Just curious.
