Today is our nanny, Shannon‘s, last day. She’s not only in her third trimester but she’s moving to Boise with her husband!

She has been a wonderful addition to our family and we will miss her greatly. Our little boy James was very lucky to have her in his life for his first year.

As a going away present, my wife wrote a beautiful note and then gave me links to some of Shannon’s best instagram photos of our little boy. I put it all together and let’s just say there were some tears shed this morning when I gave it to her.

Dear Shannon,
You were my PARENT when my mommy and daddy could not be with me.
You were my TEACHER by reading me stories and showing me life lessons.
You were my BEST FRIEND day after day by playing with me and making me laugh.
Your positive influence on the first year of my life will never be forgotten.
Thank you for being the best nanny ever!
I will miss you.
Love, James
