Thank God for Grandparents



Over the past month, all of our parents have come to stay with us to welcome Miss Darcy to the family and help us with the transition to a family of four. First, my dad came to stay with us for two weeks before the baby was born just in case Darcy decided to make her appearance early. He took care of Evie for us while we were in the hospital with Darcy. Then, my mom-in-law Dorene stayed with us for over a week when Blake went back to work so I could continue to rest and recover from the birth. She made us a delicious dinner every night (including dessert) and was a huge help with Evie. During Dorene's visit, my dad-in-law Dan came up for a brief visit to meet Darcy and see Evie and seemed very smitten with his latest grandbaby (see photo above for evidence). Finally, after Dorene left, my mom flew down from North Carolina to help me out for one more week. She has been a huge help with holding the baby (see photo above) and taking care of dinner so I can get back into the swing of things with Evie and household chores. Blake and I are so thankful that our girls have such loving, helpful grandparents! Thanks so much to you all!!
