My parents came up about a week ago and just left yesterday and boy I am I already missing them. I guess I hadn't realized how much they were helping me until now, when I am alone. They did so much cleaning, cooking and totally took care of
Evelynn while I was constantly nursing and changing diapers etc. We really had such a good time with them here and I wish they lived closer so we could do this more often. Here are some random pictures we took while they were here. Warning: I got carried away so there are a lot of pictures!
Holding Michael for the first time at the airport.
Evelynn got a Junior
TSA officer sticker while at the airport and thought it was pretty cool.
Evelynn had a blast playing with my parents at playgroup which gave me a chance to catch up with everyone.
This was a box at
Walmart for a baby gate and
Evelynn was talking to the dog on it!
First time sucking his thumb.
No more pictures please!
Evelynn really wasn't sure about this crown but loved the wand.
Grandpa found her a walking stick at the pond and she used it the entire time walking home. She still insists on using it and is always trying to take it in the house.
Evelynn is fascinated by bugs. Sometimes she is afraid of them and other times loves to play with them.
Of course we had to play with bubbles!
She found this dinosaur at the toy store by the
distribution center and would not leave without it. Thankfully it was on clearance. She now has to sleep with it and tries to carry it around the house.
We found this
awesome car at DI and she loves driving it.
Everyone says I look just like my mom. You probably cannot see it in this picture but it is true.
Evelynn tries to chase the ducks into the water so we have to be very careful at the ponds. This time she only got one foot in the water, yeah!
See the walking stick again?
Oh and dirt is just the coolest thing!
Blessing day!
I think maybe we went overboard with pictures of
Evelynn. Michael somehow got left out of many.

It was great to see some pictures of your parents! I don't think I have seen them since I left California. How fun that they could come stay with you for so long! Your kids are so adorable! How is life with two?? Hopefully you say good... I am a little nervous. Ryan was such a great baby and I hope this next one is too:). You look so great!! Take Care and I'll talk to you soon.
I'm so glad your parents were able to come up and help you with your two adorable kids! You, by the way, are looking fabulous... I can't believe you just had a baby 3 weeks ago. Hope all is well... (crazy, I'm sure) but well!
<3, Lauren
Oh, Linds....those pics are adorable. You DO look great....you are one HOT Momma! Loved getting a little glimpse into the trip; sounds like you guys had a great time!
Love you!
I'm so happy for you that you were able to have your parents come! You look fabulous and I hope that all is still going well at your house! :)
You're right, you do totally look like your mom. And Evelynn and little Michael are both adorable. I wanna come visit you soon!
Now that Nicholette is over the Roseola, and He stomach virus thing is over, and now that Todd and I are over the flu it will be much easier for us to come and visit. And Missy is back from Africa, but I'm not sure if you'll get us at the same time because her work schedule is crazy...We're having a birthday party for Nicholette this Saturday, you're invited of course, but I think we should converse and set a date next week for Nicholette and I to come see you.
I totally want to be a follower of your blog, but something's wrong and I can't click on it. You look awesome by the way!
How nice to have your parents there to help out! We will definitely come and see your new little one soon! Just a few days after we talked I came down with a very bad cold/cough and am still getting over it! So I wouldn't want to be around your new little one until I am better! But we are looking forward to seeing you guys again soon!!
