Ode to Emily

As everyone knows, we have been through quite a bit of change around the Gontarek household lately.  One of the biggest changes is the resignation of Emily (aka "Mimi") as our nanny.  Mimi has been with us since the beginning of our lives as parents.  She showed up when Carrie was 8 weeks old and has been with us every since.  What a comfort Paul and I have had every day that we went off to work, knowing that our kids were in such good hands...

Emily we thank you for all the....
  • Smiles and laughter you have brought, 
  • Tears you have wiped dry, 
  • Diapers you have changed, 
  • Feet and hands you have scrubbed and cleaned, 
  • Curls you have combed,
  • Letters and numbers you have taught,
  • Hands you have held,
  • Books you have read,
  • Movie and popcorn "dates" you have shared,
  • Clothes you have washed,
  • Prayers you have said, 
  • Songs you have song,
  • Lego houses you have built,
  • Loveys and "Dog Dogs" you have located,
  • Miles you have driven.....

..all in the name of loving and caring for our children.  We love you and will miss you dearly!
