This is a shout-out to everyone who has visited us in the past two weeks. We've been so grateful to have friends drop by to see Chloe or just hang out with us for a little while.

It's been especially great for Carolyn who has spent more time cooped up indoors in the last two weeks than she probably ever wants to be ever again. For her to get visitors has meant a lot to her. The other day she said to me, "At least you get to go to work and be around people!" While that’s true, there are times where it's felt a bit isolating being at home by ourselves, that's where we're grateful for the outpouring of help and support we've received. The food calendar that @meganluckie has been organizing for us has been amazing. Thanks Megan for setting that up, and also to the people who have already brought us a meal. You know who you are! Everyone has brought us delicious meals and wonderful company.

We haven't been at church for the past two Sundays since Chloe's been born, so we've missed being around that community. But last week two of our friends called and asked if they could just drop by after Sunday service. We just sat around shooting the breeze for a little while. Others have called, emailed, IM'ed every few days to see how we're doing. I think we would have gone crazy long ago if not for these people surrounding us.

There is an African proverb that says: "It takes a village to raise a child". I totally believe that. Not just for the child, but for the parents:)
