"Family Day"

A lot has changed since we said "Hello" & "Goodbye" to Dayne and Daniel 2 years ago today. A lot of tears have been shed and a lot of smiles have graced our faces in the last two years.

Today is Dwayne and my unofficial "Thanksgiving" and we do have so much to be thankful of.

We have a wonderful home that's often full of laughter and love - and when that's on short supply, at least its still full of ... well, lets not go there :).

We are surrounded by warm, fuzzy balls of energy (our dogs) that unconditionally love us to pieces. If yesterday's farewell to Max is any indication of how much love they bring into our lives, that alone is enough to make us incredibly lucky.

We have each other. Best friends, there's no one else we would rather laugh with or fight with and even a bad day with each other is better than any day alone.

We have Olivia. We're always amazed that something so small has the incredible ability to put a smile on our faces, make our eyes weep when she's hurting, our minds fill with wonder when she smiles and our hearts fill with love just by her being there.

And last but not least, we remain thankful for the boys. Though we had to say goodbye far too soon we are so incredibly thankful that we got to say hello.

To our beautiful Angels - our two in heaven and our one on earth, "We love you".
