Lizzie's Visitors

Lizzie-Pie had a lot of amazing visitors in the first week or so of her life. We are so grateful for all the support we received with her birth! 

These two right here are angels on Earth. Janet and Don Farnsworth. Janet was my visiting teacher in our Farmington ward and has truly been such a blessing to me. She is the type that goes about serving quietly and never wants the praise for it. The day before I had Lizzie, Janet texted me out of the blue and asked how I was doing. I told her things were fine, but she pressed more, telling me that she felt she needed to contact me to ask how I was doing. She is the most spiritually in-tune person I know. Honestly. So I finally told her we were scrambling to get things done to wait for Lizzie's arrival. She was over that evening with freezer meals and a few days later with an entire huge bag of clothes for the baby. She is such a blessing to me and I hope to be like her when I grow up. :) 

Speaking of other angles on Earth-- Aunt Shawna. Devin's sister was right there for us when we were scrambling to get everything arranged for Lizzie's birth. She dropped all her own plans and came to stay with us the night before so that she could be there when we had to be at the hospital at the crack of dawn. She spent the whole day with the kids and brought them to meet their sister at the hospital after Lizzie had been born. LOVE this woman. She has always been a huge support to us!

It is awesome when you deliver at the hospital where you work because you get extra visitors! My friends Abbee, Chelsea, and my dear co-worker Laurie, a case manager in my office. She is a firecracker but I have come to really love her. 

It was quite the feat to get Laurie to hold the baby!

Other co-workers from my department- Melanie, My boss Michele, and Edie

Grandma Lisa came on down to help too after Lizzie was born! She fed the kids, stayed over night while I was still in the hospital, got the kids registered for school (true story) and made dinner for us. Thanks mom, you're amazing.

CHEETAHS!!! Amy and Jaime came to see me shortly after Lizzie was born. I also got to meet Amy's darling daughter, Scarlett, who is about 7 weeks older than Lizzie. 

Scarlett and Lizzie- the next generation of Cheetahs :) Why this picture is crooked, I have no idea...

My cousin Shawna and her husband Curt snuck away from church to come meet Lizzie when we were in Idaho a weekend after Lizzie was born. They happened to be visiting Idaho from St. George.

The Drapers came to visit us on their way to Island Park! I think Lizzie was exactly one week old. Kirston is hiding her baby belly with cute Mr. Tyce...who came exactly one month after Lizzie's birth.

Phew! Thanks for all the support and love everyone.
