It takes a village

As I was getting organized at my desk this morning, I looked over at the banana bread I brought for breakfast.  And started thinking about how lucky Eric and I are to have our families pitch in when we need help at the office.

You see, Eric and I had a business trip last week, and with two kids still at home, we not only have to worry about the logistics at PHO when we are gone, but also kids and pets.  Eric and I are so lucky that his mom is willing and able to watch the boys when we are gone.  Truthfully, they are probably pretty disappointed coming home.  She made them eggs for breakfast every day before school, to which they replied "mom never does this."  It's true!  They are on their own for weekday breakfasts- cereal, maybe toast, but never eggs!  I do try on Sundays, but...

And we had some bananas left at home, so MaryAnn made us a banana bread.

Equally as awesome, I am lucky to have a handy Dad that whenever I have something that I need help with at work, he is able to help me.  He replaced all the ballasts in our lights with newer more energy efficient ones to save money.  Yesterday, he helped me put together a table.  In a couple of weeks, I will solicit his help getting all the tables and chairs for our Halloween Festival- and the list goes on.

I don't know how we would ever get all that's needed done alone.  So in case it is not expressed enough, thank you from the bottom of our heart!
