You know that saying....

"it takes a village"?

Its true, or at least in my opinion. I have a great network of friends and family who all play a HUMUNGO role in Laney and Alie's life. I decided a few weeks ago, that a small "village" is happily helping me raise my girlies and I think they are that much luckier for it (as am I). At Cirucci's and Brian's wedding, there were so many helping hands there to help Laney and Alison. I was able to be a full engaged bridesmaid, even while being in Philly without Carl for a few days. Laney, Alie and Camp Laura would head off on adventures, or just chat. Big shares his cell phone. Just Brian (my wedding rockstar) danced the night away with my Alie. Auntie Wen ensures that everyone is sleeping well and is always available to lend an extra set of hands or to offer a comfy lap. Sure, my girls go to school and talk about their parents and their crazy friends, but what a way to grow up!
