Nana's house - ready for spring

Lucy stayed the night at nana and papas house last night. Kyle and I have been so fortunate to have Steve and Susan watch Lucy on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the past 9 months. It saved us a lot of money in daycare costs. But even cooler than money is how close Lucy is to her grandmother. Lucy and Susan have built such a loving bond. I swear, Lucy thinks nana is the most amazing person ever (and she's right). Lucy is sad when it's time to leave (even if she's been there for two days!).

Here are some photos Susan sent me of their time together yesterday. I think Lucy is ready for this snow to go away and to put her shades on outside!

Princess Lucy

This morning Lucy and daddy made a princess crown!

I survived!

My mom (above) had been staying us since before the babies were born.
We gave her a few days off here and there, but I never had to face the reality of three kids by myself for an extended period of time. Until today.
I was a little worried when I had changed my sixth diaper before 8am. But luckily the kiddos took it easy one today. Here's the photo we sent Kyle while he was at work:


Luckily, Kyle called in reinforcements for tomorrow (Susan!).

I love this picture of Susan and Audrey:
