This morning we all stood on the driveway with tears in our eyes as we hugged and said goodbye to Mom C. We feel so blessed that she so selflessly came to take care of our family for
five weeks! I will never forget the sense of relief I felt when Mike told me she was on her way. I was on bedrest, with half of a face (due to my lovely Bell's Palsy). Mike was swamped at work and we were surviving on grilled cheese and quesadillas (not ideal when trying to grow two babies). She saved the day!
This image will be forever imprinted in my memory (which says a great deal considering how many drugs I was on at the time)! Mom C., the ultimate twin mama, stood over our little babies for the first time and tears flowed. She had such a sense of excitement and love for us and our family, and was also very nostalgic about her own twins.
Every morning, Mom C. and Andrew would head out for their walk together. She broke her toe just a few days before leaving, but was determined to take Andrew for their walk at least one more time. Broken toe and all, they headed out and completed the full three miles and even fed the ducks!
Mom C. loves to see the boys all snuggled close to each other, which is how they are happiest So, here are a few pictures of our boys just for her! Tanner on the left, Reid on the right.

It doesn't surprise me how helpful Teresa has been. How wonderful to have her for 5 weeks. Your boys are so adorable!!
What a lifesaver! Love the pics of your little guys. They are so scrumptious. Good luck with the next few weeks on your own!
It is still so unreal to me that you have two little babies. Those pictures are all so sweet. I am so happy Teresa was able to help for so long.
Elizabeth--I just love being able to see your pictures and know what's going on with you guys. All of your boys are just so cute.
Are those boys hugging each other??!?!? they are soooooooo cute - as is andrew! What a darling and rather large family you now have!!!
I know this long over due, but CONGRATULATIONS!!! The little guys are adorable and you are the best MOMMY ever!
Oh my gosh. What a special bond those two have. Thanks for sharing. Those pictures will make everybody fall in love with them. Wow, they are so precious. You should be proud. And you are my hero for surviving bedrest with a toddler, Bell's Palsy, natural birth and a c-section, and now taking care of 3 babies.
Why am I sitting here crying?!! I know mom helped so much and LOVED being there!! CUTE pictures!!!!
What an amazing lady! The twins are too cute how they snuggle up together. I hope you guys are doing well. Love you!
My goodness those little babies are perfect. And so glad you have people helping you. This is what they mean when they say what goes around comes around Liz--
Your boys are perfect! I cry whenever I read your blog--especially when Teresa left. I remember how overwhelming it feels to be on your own. If anyone can do it, you can Liz. You are incredible!
What cute little boys! So glad you are feeling better all the time--and even with Mike's mom leaving! It makes me cry just thinking about it! I know you can do it--what a great mommy you are!
love and miss you!
I think everyone needs a good Mother Teresa in their life! - She is very cool.
Oh, my goodness! Thanks for the post, but I'm missing all of you all over again! What a sweet thing about Andrew praying this morning at general conference. I'm so sorry about the freezer episode! Oh my! Hope your day ended better than it began! Love, Mom c
CONGRATULATIONS!! Your little guys are adorable! I love that they like to be snuggled up together, so sweet. I can't believe your belly shot! Of corse YOU could have twins and still be ALL belly. It was cute to see, but they are way cuter out. We wish you the best! Can't wait to see them when you come visit next!!
