Big Thank You!!

Yesterday was my first morning alone with the girls. (here we are during lunch) It went surprisingly well!! Aaralyn was good and shared Mommy with Elise with little complaints. By 12:30, both kids had eaten and were taking naps and I was cleaning the kitchen. I have to admit, I was ready to crash, but I was proud of myself!

But that is not the point of this post.
I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to my family for all the help they have been the past two weeks!! My mom and sister were here for a while helping me (and Donny) make the transition to two kids and then Donny's mom came to offer her services. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to have them here! They pitched in so much, washing dishes, doing laundry, playing with Aaralyn (which took up the biggest part of their efforts, I'm sure!) and all the countless other things they did! They helped more than I could have imagined and I am very thankful for them!!

Here are some pictures of them in action:


Great way to wake up Aunt Marley


But who wouldn't want to wake up to a face like that?!?


Taking a nap with GiGi

Having fun with MiMi


Thank you so much for all you have done! You are all wonderful!!

As a special note...
I wanted to send an extra special "thank you!" to Katie. Your gifts were so sweet!!
Love you!!

If you can keep the nap schedule going you will be SOOOO happy. You might actually get a nap in yourself.
Two kids is hard, but not as hard as I thought it would be. You make it what you want it to be. We have good and bad days.
Good luck with everything! I'm sure Donny will be a big help too!
