Thank you, friends
Two weeks. Tracie and I are two weeks into the greatest job ever. Becoming parents to Katie has been the ultimate in on-the-job training. There is no “sink or swim” choice with being a first-time parent; swimming is the only option.
We’ve managed to stay afloat this long thanks in large part to the advice, kind words and giant life preserver of love from all of our friends and family. It really does take a village to raise a child. At first, that village just needs to keep the new parents from going totally insane, and we thank all of you for that.
To the many friends and family both near and far who followed our hospital adventures via Twitter and Facebook, we extend tremendous thanks to you. We wish we could have responded to the overwhelming number of kind tweets and Facebook posts which everyone sent when Katie was finally born. We didn’t want to let the kindness go unrecognized, so with the deepest gratitude, we say thank you friends! Your support means more than we can ever tell you.
