I often cry when I read the comments sections on our blog. It's amazing to me that there are so many people out there who support us and love us. You know, I never once heard anyone ask if we were going crazy taking on three small children in an 18-month period. I never once had anyone tell me I couldn't do it or be anything but encouraging. How are we surrounded with such floats of hope? How did we fall into a group of loving friends and family who mean more to us than anything in the world?

I have to admit that when Heath and I first started talking about the prospect of three small children our deciding factor was you guys. Those of you who serve as our prayer warriors, those of you who call just when I'm about to lose it and those of you who always have something uplifting and positive to say. We knew that with you guys, taking all of these children was possible, without you we honestly wouldn't have made the same decision.

My mom always said that it takes a village to raise a child. She was right, E. Stone gains so much from each person who comes into his life and plays a part - I see it happen daily. What I didn't understand is that it takes a village to raise a family. To do it right, it takes a lot of prayer from others, a lot of support and encouragement.

So, thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. For the prayers, the offers of food, the love, the offers to hold our babies and the offers to hold us. We are truly blessed and we only hope that we give some sliver of what you give to us back.
