Thanks Joan!

Joan came by to see her girl and help out last week, and I must say, I've never seen one person do that much laundry! It was a great help to have her around the house. Now, if we could only stop wearing clothes, I think we'll be able to keep ahead of the situation.

While she was here, the girls went out to a local tea shop called "Aprille's Showers". Very posh. This photo was taken there by the proprietor, I can only assume. I say I assume because I wasn't there. But I hear it was very nice. The guys stayed back, guarding Amelia, who slept through the entire event.

We are so blessed to have such a supportive family during this difficult time. Darcy is doing quite well still. I'm on a business trip for a couple of days this week, in Denver, CO, for those of you who are tracking my every move on your digital personal assistants. Mariana's helping out at home in the afternoons while I'm out.
