THANK YOU!

Cute Grams smiles with three of her boys in blue! We love you tons and tons, Grams!
 Thank you, Gracias, Merci, Xie xie, Danke, Arigato, Takk, and so on for all of the help we've been given with baby Luke! The biggest thanks goes to Grams for giving up ten days of her life to come and take care of our whole family. She is Super-Mom! I don't know how we could've survived the past week and a half without her here to cook, clean, fold laundry, iron shirts, drive to school/dance/sports/hospital/etc, do hair, brush teeth, cheer at talent shows and dance competitions, help with homework and piano practice, play basketball with the boys, etc. Mom, you are amazing and we love you tons and tons and tons! Thank you Grampy, as well, for loaning us Mom and for coming up to Utah and helping us too! We miss you already (and it's only been one day!).

A big "Thank You" also needs to go out to everyone else who has helped us! I usually hate asking for help, and I'm often reluctant to accept it when offered -- but our awesome friends and neighbors have been real lifesavers! I'm so grateful for you all! Thanks to Tiffany Dixon for giving me two hours of sleep (I don't know how I would've delivered this baby without it!) and for watching the boys in a pinch when I went into labor! Thanks to Jaime for holding down the fort during labor, and to her and John for taking care of Davis and his explosive issues while I was with Luke in the NICU. Thanks to Clayton and Erika Cravath for spur of the moment babysitting so we could manage dance competitions with sick kids and NICU feedings, and for some delicious Jambalaya! Thanks to the Gills for chauffering Macie to and from dance, and to the young women for the service shower and dinner! Thanks to Kimberly Lohner for an AMAZING baby quilt and enough dinner to feed us for two days! Thanks to Cynthia Lewis, Tina Robertson, and Marianne Richardson for taking my boys to the zoo on Wednesday! Thanks, thanks, thanks to everyone who has given us service and helped us out! We love you all! We have been truly blessed by your service!

It was so fun to have Grampy with us for a few days!
