My sweet family, all 22 of us. Taken by the beautiful Kaeli.
Dear readers, friends, family, fellow bloggers, and kind strangers, thank you. We're in the middle of some pretty hard stuff but never in my life have I felt more blessed.
To the lady at church who found out our family likes cookies, thanks for bringing some over, 3 times.
To the friend who knows my mom likes lemon treats, thanks for bringing some, and dinner, twice.
To the cashiers, builders, sheet-rockers, and painters who wouldn't let us pay, thank you.
To the neighbors, near and far, who have offered your precious time, thank you.
To those who have brought food, movies, toys, clothing, and books, thank you.
To those who have stopped to visit, thank you.
To those who have insisted on babysitting so Collin and I could have a date, thank you.
To those who call, thank you.
To the sweet girl who took treasured family pictures, and donated her time, thank you.
To any of you who have prayed, thank you.
To you sweet people who e-mail, text, call, or send cards, thank you.
To those who have offered cars, housing, food, clothes, time, money, and support...thank you.
To those who have driven hundreds of miles to offer support, thank you.
To those who brought food so that my family didn't have to cook 1 single meal while we were all together last weekend, thank you.
This experience has taught me more than I ever expected to learn. It has taught me that there is an abundance of good people in this world, and I vow to spend the rest of my life trying to give service and be the kind of person that the people who have served us are.

Oh my goodness, you all look so adorable... especially you, sweet Ashlee!
It's always good to hear about the good things that go on in the world... especially in a world that seems to spend most of it's attention pointing out the bad.
You are so special and deserve every ounce of good coming your way. I hope it just keeps coming!
Shows all of the kindness, love and service your family has always given over the years.
Lots of love for your family.
Your family is very loved and most of only wish we could do more. There are only so many things we can do and we have to leave the rest in our Heavenly Father's hands...you are in GOOD hands...we love you all...
That should say "most of us"
Your family has served and served!! It's your turn to receive a little!! Especially our sweet Aunt Tonna!!
