We are thankful for...

The boys would like to take a moment to share their appreciation for all the help and visitors they've had.  They feel very blessed.

First and foremost:

Our dad.  He is the most amazing dad in the entire world.  Our dad gets up every morning and goes to work for his family.  We know that we are his number one and we know he loves our crazy mom too.  He checks on us throughout the day and sometimes even comes home early when we're too much for mom to handle.  When he gets home he takes no time for himself and gets right into taking care of us.  He even gets up with us at night.  We can see in his face how much he loves us.  We really see how selfless he is and appreciate all of his hard work.  We can't wait to get advice from him as we grow and learn.  We love you daddy.

Grammy and Papa James:

She came and stayed with us for a few days.  She didn't stop the whole time she was here. Always taking care of us or cleaning or organizing or cooking.  It let mom relax and feel like she was able to enjoy us and not have to worry about all that day-to-day not fun stuff.  She still comes over often and just starts doing laundry or cleaning and we can tell mom loves the help. (Even though she wouldn't mind if she just sat and held one of us either.)  She also let us stay at her house so she could help mom out with the night feedings and let her sleep.  Mom LOVED it.  We love our Grammy James.  We love Papa too.  One time, Papa was keeping an eye on us while mom and dad were trying to get ready for a brunch and we both decided to get real fussy and cry at the same time and Papa didn't know what to do so he laughed.  :)

Grandma Tonette and Papa Frank:

Wow, Grandma Tonette is the food lady!  She has brought mom and dad soooo many dinners they can just put in the freezer and thaw out.  She stops by on her way home from work sometimes and hangs out with mom and holds us.  She makes those late afternoons that drag go by a lot faster and keeps mom from calling dad and bugging him about what time he'll be home.  Papa Frank has also stopped by to come hang out with us.  We love them like crazy. We enjoying hanging at their place on the weekends with all of our family.

Erin & Patti:

Our second cousins are nurses! Erin is a L&D nurse and Patti is a NICU nurse.  Mom loves this.  They have come over many times and mom feels at ease knowing we are in good hands.  Thank you cousins!

Cousins!

More Family Visitors:

Auntie Devon is now coming over on Mondays to hang with us.  It frees mommy up to work or take care of any errands or housework that needs to be done.  (She usually brings us over a yummy dinner too!)  She loves to cuddle us.

Keri is mom's best friend.  She stayed the whole time mom was in labor with us and rubbed her back when we were giving her pain.  She comes down to see us whenever she can.  Last time she even brought mom some food, the cake was amazing!  She visited us in the NICU too.  Mom has known her since high school and wishes she lived closer to us. Keri's mom Diane also came to visit and brought three dinners over!! She's sorry she forgot to take a picture.

KERI!!

Kellie- she brought us dinner too!

(We do not like her sweatshirt though...shhh don't tell)

Kimberly has offered mom to come over to help out too.  Mom thinks she is the baby whisperer.  Must be those years of nanny experience.  She's gonna be an awesome mom one day.

As you can see we are loved by many! For the sake of not letting this post get crazy long, mom will not post more pictures.  Many people have gone above and beyond to help out our family and show us the love.  We are truly blessed and grateful for all the people in our life.

Thank you everyone for your love and support!
