Elaine's Visitors

Elaine is already so loved by family and friends.  We couldn't be more blessed by the outpouring of kindness and generosity to our family.  A special thank you to my amazing MOPS group, LifeGroup, several friends and family who have specifically brought us delicious food/snacks, gift cards, etc. to help sustain our family during the adjusting period.  It has been fantastic and such a huge blessing to not have to cook and shop! :)  Thank you to everyone from the bottom of our hearts.  Here are pictures of some of the special people Elaine has been able to visit with so far (There are also tons of other people Elaine hopes to meet in the near future that are out of town. Thank you all so much for you love hope we can get together with you soon.).

At the hospital she got to meet for the first time Grandma and Grandpa Thompson.

Aunt Debra and Uncle Rhett (They also came to help capture some fabulous newborn pictures of our little Elaine and pictures of our family with her.  Thank you guys!)

 Grandma Knight cuddling her newest granddaughter.
Pops with little Elaine.

We also got to see our friends the Moons at the hospital too.  They came in shifts though, Jeremy and Brittney came first and brought Jim some delicious In-N-Out (he was so happy...Thank You!) and then Jenn came after to visit.  They were all going to come up, but Brooklyn wasn't feeling too great that day.

Grandma Shirley got to meet little Elaine on her birthday, July 10th.  The very cool thing is that Elaine shares my Grandma's middle name Grace and their birthday's are right next to each other.  Originally, Elaine's due date was on my Grandma's birthday, but it got pushed up a little earlier as we did ultrasounds, etc.

 

Natalie pictured with the the adorable outfit she got Elaine on Wednesday, July 11.

Here is Larissa with Elaine on Wednesday, July 11. 

Pam pictured with Elaine on Thursday, July 12.  The whole family came, but the boys stayed in the car as Pam brought us our delicious snack basket.  We took Elaine outside for them to see too since she was just sleeping in her car seat. :)

The Cunningham Family with Elaine on Friday, July 13.  Bethany is pictured still pregnant with Elaine's friend Avery.  She was recently born on Tuesday, July 31.  Bethany made the adorable blanket featured on Elaine in the picture below too.

Paula came on Monday, July 16 with Eli.  She also brought her a sweet lullaby CD gift.  Thank you so much!

Melissa smiling pretty with Elaine came on Friday, July 20.

Brandy came on Saturday, July 21.  By the way Elaine really did like her, I made her hold her when she was totally hungry.

Karianne and her boys Benjamin pictured below and Jackson came on Monday, July 23.

Lois came on Tuesday, July 24 and spoiled the whole family.  She was so sweet and bought my big kids gifts too!  They were totally jazzed!  Thank you!!!  Elaine also really likes Lois too, but again is hungry in this pic. :)

Katie with Elaine, I just love how Elaine is checking out Katie in this picture.  Too cute!

Angelica with Evie...yet again Evie is looking at Angelica so adorably. :)

Finally, Evie with Kelly and Mark (special note, Mark is usually dressed he just happened to have a blow out right before we took this picture and was already wearing his back up clothing, but what a cutie he is with that huge smile.) :)

Elaine also got to visit with Carrie Gerry, Kristina Rhodes, Traci Davis, Carrie Avakian, and Dan and Sara Risdon but Mommy didn't get their pictures with Elaine.  Sorry friends...I know Elaine has loved meeting all of you though and hopes to get pictures with you soon.  Thanks so much friends!
