Special Guests

These past few months have been filled with special guests as we have needed a little extra help around our house. Aunt Janeille from Orlando, Florida was our most recent guest who actually left early this morning. (tear) She is like a sister to me and we have LOTS in common, except for the fact that I am NOT addicted to Diet Coke ("DC" as I encourage her to call it around her children) like she is. It was KILLING both of us to be so couped up in the house......however, we managed to hit a couple shopping places (since we had to be out and about at doctor's appointments anyway.)
Uncle Tye "favorite uncle" as he has primed older sister Katie to say, came and stayed Presidents weekend with us. He goes to school in Virginia, a 7 hour drive, and comes to see us as often as he can.
Holly, daughter Sarah (5) and Katie's arranged husband Ben (2), have come to see us a few times since the arrival of the babies. Holly just might be our favorite guest as she always comes bearing so many gifts and really great food!
Nana and Papa were the highlight of Katie's days while they were here. Nana arrived on December 12 and stayed with us until February 19th. After I was put on bed-rest in October we knew that we would not be able to survive without her. We REALLY appreciated her sacrifice of time to come and help us get babies here as late and healthy as possible. Katie might have just reaped the most benefit however as she got more one-on-one attention from her Grandma than any other grandkid East of the Mississippi! Papa was able to come for about 3 weeks and we miss both of them dearly.
Here is our wonderful doctor, Dr. Adkins, and his wonderful nurse Nicole who we have gotten to know very well, especially over the last 12 weeks as we saw them at least once every week if not more.
