Thank you Uncle Ryan and Aunt Shannon

I know it doesn't look like much but this is one of my favorite pictures. Mason (and Doug and I) are so lucky to have Uncle Ryan and Aunt Shannon. These two people are the best, most amazing friends. They have accepted our new parenthood status and have embraced Mason like a nephew. They buy him toys, clothes, diapers, formula, and anything else he could need. Every time we see them they have something for him. They love to spoil him and, even better, they love spending time with him. They come in, say hello to us and Auburn, and then spend the rest of their time playing with Mason. They do it to give us a tiny break but mainly because they genuinely want to spend time with him. I am amazed how natural they are with him. I was never that way around kids before being a mom. Every time we call, they are right there to help with whatever we need. Whether it be a ride to the airport, taking care of Auburn, or helping with something around the house, they never complain or say no. So thank you, Ryan and Shannon, for being there for all 4 of us whenever we may need. We owe you big!
