Brama and Pa are leaving and we are sad. My mom has been an absolute angel; check out her awesome multi-tasking abilities (above)! I keep saying that if I didn't have her, there's no way I could have babies! With the long c-section recovery and my annoyingly badly-timed illnesses on top of it, I have been pretty much useless except for my lactation capabilities these past few weeks. My mom was able to slip in and take over, taking kids to school, doing all the laundry, shopping, cooking, and cleaning, and basically keeping our lives running smoothly, all in the middle of August in South Texas (not my Mom's favorite place or climate!). It was quite the sacrifice; thank you, Mom! We owe you everything, you've made our lives so easy and we'll miss you more than you know!My dad joined us last week; now that his "deal" is done, he's been able to hang up the cell phone, put away the computer, and have some fun and relax. He's been swimming with the kids and holding Miles a lot. They're topping it all off with a trip to the Astros game tonight! Oh, and by the way, Pa has also updated his blog!
Pa and Parker playing ball in the front hall. Notice their awesome pj pants!
In other news, Miles had his first real tubby. Of course, he didn't really like it, but it was cute to watch! He's three weeks old tomorrow!

I know what you mean - few things are as difficult as saying good-bye when you feel so hesitant in your own abilities. But remember, I'm just up the road!
What a cutie Miles is.... that is an adorable picture.
I hope Pa is not too tied up in any deals when we see him next... Lucky Parker playing ball... looks like they had a great time!
Miles is sure cute.
miles looks so tiny in that sink! i can't wait to see you guys next month. by then i know you will be back on your feet, but i will be available to do any laundry or cleaning or taking kids to school or holding of miles, or whatever needs doing while i am there. i am glad we have mom, and i am glad to hear that dad was able to relax, but is his deal really done?
Miles is adorable and of course I think you mom and dad are the best. Know how much you will miss them. Wish I could come and help you. Have sent a package so you should get it Wed aor so. UPS so watch for it!
Love and Hugs
Wish I could help, but try to just take some time to relax... no relapses on the sickness! An older sister in my ward once told me,(when I was stressed about my house, etc.) "Now you just do the best you can and at the end of the week, anything you can't deal with, just shovel it out the back door." I try to keep that image if I'm worrying about all the little stuff and it makes me laugh.
Congrats on the sweet baby. He is darling! I love the picture with Audrey cuddling him - priceless!
he really is darling! natalie can't say enough about how great you are--i'm excited to start reading about you and your family now that i am an official blogger. (thanks for commenting on mine, by the way. that was way nice of you!)
