the minute i learned that abby and eli are having triplets, on top of the toddler twins that they already have (i mean, on top of the so-adorable-i-could-eat-them-but-i-won't-but-i-could-but-i-won't-but-i-really-really-could toddler twins that they already have)......the minute i heard about that, i sprung into action. they say barack obama was a community organizer? well, move over, barack obama.......i don't just have the audacity to hope that my community is gonna help this big, young family (and by big, young family i mean big, young village), i have the audacity to guarantee it.
first thing i did was, i made a list of local and area businesses and franchises who, if they have even half a public relations brain, would want to contribute/donate/fork over. places like babies 'r us. proctor and gamble. local car dealerships. grocery stores. stride-rite. baby gap. gap for kids. (not to mention gap for grandmas which they don't have but they should.)
i told abby and eli that i would be "command central" - a position that is not that unfamiliar to me. (just ask david and per.)
i told them that i would spearhead this effort......in an effort to keep this village boat afloat.
the way i look at it, it is as much to the businesses' advantage as it is to abby and eli's. it's columbus, ohio's own little jon and kate plus 8.
except it's abby and eli and the only stars they're going to be dancing with will be the ones in their eyes.
ok, and the ones in front of their eyes.
(oooo! opthamologists! add opthamologists to the list, nancy!)
