Patty, I was just looking at the much loved site and saw that Emily needed stitches in her leg?! I am so glad that so many people have sent their love and support to you over the past several days, I wish I could have been there to give you that hug in person. I just don't know what to say...I have been thinking of you sooo much and I know that you are hanging in there...the last thing you needed was a broken arm and stitches in a leg! But her cast is off now? We got your post card from Washington. Thanks for thinking of us during your trip. Well, I just had to check in once I read about the stitches incident and let you know how much we are thinking of you...take care of yourself and tell the kids to take it easy for a while!! We love you and miss you. Hugs to all of you. Love, Mary
