It Takes Three Villages!

I have extolled the virtue of our extended community a number of times but it does not hurt to mention it some more. After these babies were born we benefited from an outpouring of generosity. We had help in the form of mucho clothing, diaper service contributions, wipes, donated nanny time, an awesome fluff and fold laundry service (never have time to keep up with that), and near to my heart, pre-made dinners! I have not eaten that healthy in a while! Our landlords "coincidentally" installed the dishwasher we've been begging about for years - we would have had to move if we were expected to hand wash those bottles. I can't forget to mention the extra manpower around the Payne household of people staying with us and getting a taste of the 24-hour insanity (especially early on).
We have greatly appreciated all of this support from our extended friends and family network. The help we have received has been awesome even if we have not always been super punctual on formal messages of thanks.
