Ode to Patsy

In a world where in-laws normally stir up similar feelings to a trip to the dentist, I am pretty sure I have the coolest mother-in-law around. I have known this for years, but over the last week of my children's life it has become even more obvious. After serving us as we were in the hospital last week, Kelly's mom, Patsy, has been staying with us at our home since we returned. She has jumped in head first to feedings, changings, laundry, meals, middle of the night chaos, and pretty much anything else that we need at this time. The best part is that she does this all with such a joyful and selfless heart. Her love for us and for these boys is evidently displayed in her peaceful attitude as she helps out with all the craziness around here. I wish I could give her a medal, or better yet, a vacation for all she has done for us. But I can't give her a vacation, because then she wouldn't be here to help. :)

The boys say "Thank you Nanny!"
