We owe a big thanks to all the folks who have helped us since Sarah's foot broke. Our mothers both came to help so I wouldn't have to use up all the leave I've accrued at work. Others have provided transportation, food, or lent an ear. It's all very much appreciated.
Finn really liked the time too and has been saying "Mah-may" and pointing to pictures since you've both left. He misses his walks and crawls up into his stroller and buckles the belt hoping we have the time to take him out. He settles for a trip out back.
Thanks for making it possible to care for Sarah and Finn and stay employed. It's much easier now that Sarah can get around a little better. We're awaiting the news from the doctor next Friday when the cast comes off.
The whole experience showed the importance of family. It also highlighted a challenge of the modern world when one family is 500 miles in one direction, the other 800 in another. Phones, e-mail and blogs can only help bridge the gap so far. Sometimes you just need mom's help.

Thank you for this post. My time with Finn and Grandma Jill were special opportunities to form important relationships.Helping your children is just what you do. As the song goes "Whenever you need me, I'll be there."
I miss my daily walks. Maybe I should keep that extra Target stroller and start doing the hill.
I love you guys. Be well, be strong, you will be back on your feet soon!

No fair making me teary at work!
There are always two sides to everything, and this was no exception. Unfortunately Sarah got the broken foot side of the coin, but getting all the Finn and family time was the other side - an opportunity that doesn't come often in this busy world!
I am sure Nancy and I will find an excuse to kick you two out of the house again sometime so that we can have more Grandmas/Finn bonding!
Love you,
ma beach, Grandma, mah-may, Peta, whatever...
