Thank You Notes Series | part two



This series is to thank people in our lives for many of the sweet ways that they make our life better. Since Bill and I got married there have been so many times that people have done generous, fun & just simply nice things that we want to publicly say thank-you for. I don't think we could ever adequately say it enough to cover everyone in all they do for us - but there are many specific little things done that could easily go by without being appropriately acknowledged so we thought it would be fun to start this mini-series. If I could go back these posts would range from the numerous people who made our wedding wonderful four years ago to fun little packages in the mail to our our favorite worker at Qdoba getting Jack a Christmas gift last year(the fact that this happened may speak to a greater burrito issue in our family... but that's not what we're talking about right now. ;))

We have many people to thank for keeping our boys clothed, cute & (once in awhile) styling. Of course grandparents and aunts and uncles love to buy cute finds for them and I am always on the look out at our favorite thrift stores, sale racks & places like thredup ... but what is really remarkable to us and brings such joy are the packages and and hand-me-downs from people who really didn't have to but were thoughtful enough to think of us and act on it. You all are just wonderful. 

Aunt Elizabeth, We love you and your periodical packages filled with anything Red Sox oriented. I have to say though -  these most recent red sox jerseys are our favorite. :) (I wrote a little bit more about this wonderful woman on instagram in this post)

And on the red sox note - thank you Brooke (and boys!) for the awesome t-shirt that came today in the mail!  We were so excited when we opened it. It will be well-loved. Thank you for being such good sox fans! But especially thank you for thinking of us. 


Kristen. Thank you for the Rowdy and Little Boys Blue hand-me-downs. Every little bag you've brought have had pieces that were thoroughly enjoyed and some of our hip-est items. You also deserve a shout-out for the famous grey blanket! It's the best and is admired by men, women and children every place it goes. People love that blanket. And so do we. ;)

Aunt Eileen! Your many boxes, bags & bins full of amazing hand-me-downs have been a lifesaver for us! And you have such good taste! That just makes it all the better. Our boys would have far fewer quality shorts and t-shirts and sweatshirts and shoes and bathing suits and dress clothes and jeans and hats and socks and cool things  if it wasn't for you and your Trey & Will. Thank you for being awesome and having two boys a few years older than mine and going out of your way to share it with us all the way from North Carolina. 


And, Dad's-cousin-Nancy (it doesn't feel right to just call you Nancy) although Dad's-cousin-Nancy is a bit wordy, it feels like a nice personal touch. :) Thank you for sending the package of adorable clothes for Will. I could not believe that you thought of us! I love that because of  social media I get the opportunity to connect with someone who was such a sweet part of my dad's life and now here I am reaping the benefits of that relationship. You seem real great and I look forward to meeting you someday!


Our little boys are blessed & loved by so many near and far. They have no idea. Thank you all for showing you care to us through your thoughtfulness to our little guys.
