It takes a village!

 Yes it does!  We have a village to thank for making our trip to France actually happen.  Without blessings from Grandma, confidence of Grandpa, change of plans for Papa and Nana, and support staff from the Butlers, we would never have had the once in a lifetime chance to travel through France with Aunt Annie and Uncle Josh.  To all of you, we are eternally grateful!!!!  For we were able to do this...

 

While Grandma recovered and Grandpa, Papa, Nana and the Butlers snuggled our babies and did this...

Thank you to all of you for baking, painting, swimming, feeding the ducks and playing with our girls.

Thank you to all of you for giving us the chance to stomp through the Rhone Valley's wine country, drink Champagne in Antibes, practice our French in Nice, lay on the beach in St. Tropez, hike over Cap Ferrat and most importantly, to hug my sister!  I hope you had an equally rewarding time hugging our babies.  We will never be able to thank you enough for keeping them happy and healthy and loved while we were gone!  And I will never stop smiling from the vision of the Odd Couple being in charge!
