| Eileen and Margaret with their Helen ~ Mother's Day 2012 |
Today is the first day of our last month with our wonderful Helen before she and Steve leave for their amazing New York adventure. We have been so blessed to have Helen's help, first as a mother's helper when I was home on maternity leave and then as our nanny when I went back to work last July, since Eileen and Margaret were a little over a month old.
The girls love Helen so, so, so much. Eileen and Margaret absolutely squeal with joy every time she walks in the door. Helen has played such a major role in helping Eileen and Margaret become the smart, sweet, loving toddlers they are today. Rob and I are so grateful for the loving care Helen has given to our family.
We will miss you, Helen, but you will always be a part of our family!
