Happy Birthday NANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!! It's Nana's birthday!! We just wanted to give a shout out to a wonderful Grandma without which all of this could not be possible:

• mommy avoiding a sleep-deprived meltdown by volunteering the night feedings for us for a weekend (yep, all 3 of them...11 pm..2 am..5am...hehehe)
• Super yummy milk due to all the awesome breakfasts from mom's favorite breakfast place (mmm..pan au chocolat...)
• Rico our favorite screaming parrot avoiding death by starvation thanks to the pick-ups of his prissy organic bird food
• Preventing mom and dad from an ugly divorce and custody battle (we'd pick mom ;) by allowing countless visits including respite, date nights, bottle-feedings, and diaper changes!
• Letting mom pursue her love of teaching the cool older kids and bringing home some extra bacon!
• The redundant cleaning of not only the microwave (mom saves it for you! shhh!), stove, toaster oven, and sometimes the fridge, but unloading and [trying ;)] to load the dishwasher, and folding and washing countless loads of laundry!! yikes!
• And most importantly, our special relationship with you created by the hundreds of hours of quality time, energy, and play!
  

The three hour round-trip drive makes it all the more meaningful!!

Here are some pics so we can all reminisce...


Thanks for taking care of me those first couple hours while mom was all doped up...


















We spiked your tea...


















You were there for our very first bath! Ahh memories...
