THANK YOU ASHLEY!

Now that I have been home a week I really want to post to thank my sister for the last 3+ weeks. Since little Ella decided to come 25 days early it made the time in which Michelle was off and when I was taking off not overlap anymore. We had it planned to both be home for 3 days the "trade off" the duties of taking care of our little Angel.

So Michelle went back to work on Monday, April 20th and that was the start of my busiest 3 weeks of the year. In that time Michelle went to work daily and then drove to my sisters to pick up Ella, as I had 3 concerts, a tour to Anaheim and endless rehearsals.

We had quite a routine and poor Ella had to get up really early in order to leave our house every morning at 6:15 so I could drop her off at Ashley's and then get to work.

Most of you know that my sister has never been a morning person so this was truly a labor of love. I really don't know what we would have done without her. She made it so easy and even came and picked Ella up at work 2 times for me so I could get in earlier. I loved it most as she brought Ella over for lunch a few times and nothing makes your day better than that little smile.

Ashley took her to Stroller Strides, played with her and Maryn was absolutely wonderful with her. It is fun for us to watch her interact with her little cousin. She is so gentle and loves her so much.

So thank you Ashley, Maryn and Pete. I don't know what we would have done! You made it so easy and I really couldn't think of anyone I would rather take care of my daughter. I know you said it was no big deal as Ella is pretty easy, but you made it so we did not have to worry. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

Benji, Michelle and Ella
