Getting ready for Valentine's, here's a heartfelt THANK YOU for prayers, cards, emails, and all the other extras that have been rained down on us. There are soooo many people who have truly gone out of their way to help without our having to ask. Some of the extra miles we've seen include:

• Calls from our driveway telling us to look on the porch for surprises (they didn't want to risk spreading germs)
• Lysoled presents to make sure nothing extra is given along with the intended gifts
• Grapevines of calls to figure out how to include our kids in Primary lessons without passing the possible coughs or colds on to us
• Letters from next-door neighbors because they knew they wouldn't be able to talk at the door
• Aunts, uncles and grandparents visiting through the front windows instead of coming inside
• E-mails galore instead of cards (especially from kids who are not known for their anti-microbial characteristics)

It's so stressful keeping on top of everything we have to do, alot of the "should dos" have slipped through the cracks. Instead of asking to be exceptions to the situation and put really bad possibilities into the equation, it's been a huge relief to have others watching out for Sada, too, without having to be told or even reminded.

Once again, thanks!
