Mama and Papa Tutu...

...aka my parents...aka SPOILED!!!!

My parents just spent the last week helping us adjust to a life with two children. We have been totally spoiled and we miss them tons. They made us dinner and dessert every night, took Sadie during the night, played with Erica during the day, sent us on dates (including snowboarding), did dishes and laundry, worked on our yard, etc. We have no way of expressing how grateful we are for all that they did.





Remember my dad just had surgery on the same day Sadie was born.


How many 62 year old women do you know that will jump on a trampoline?


Sadie saying, "Mama Tutu, time to wake up."


Mama Tutu put make-up on Erica every day. "Lucky you" as Erica would say.


For part of their visit, my parents took Erica to Phoenix for a few days to play with her cousin Lincoln. She had a great time as you can tell in the pictures. We really enjoyed some one-on-one time with Sadie too.





I just really liked these pictures.



When Tutus aren't around to help, this is how we get by-Erica reading her books and Troy playing Snood on his ipod while feeding Sadie.

Did you just say that you went snowboarding one week after having a baby???
Sadie is sooo cute! I love her dark hair and I can't remember if Erica had dark hair when she was born? '
You guys are doing a great job! Maylee was watching TV 24/7 for the first couple of weeks, and look at you with Erica reading! So impressed!

Gotta love that multi-tasking dad. What a great visit from Tutus! Little Sadie has a ton of hair, wow. She sure looks a lot like her mommy!
