So many people love Leah (cont.)

Leah has met a lot of new family members in the past few weeks.

A few Sundays ago, Justin's Nana came over to meet Leah. We had some amazing chocolate cake that Lori (Mimi) made, and had a good time chatting and showing Leah off to her great grandmother.







Two Fridays ago, we had quite a crowd at our house. Justin's Granny and Granddad came in from the Dallas area, and his Uncle Ted and Aunt Susan came in from Nigeria. His cousins, Lara and Katherine, got to come too! And so did Mimi, G, Aunt Amanda, and (Uncle) Rodney. Leah was very tired, and wasn't too happy, but she got passed around as best as we could manage. We always love seeing everyone and sharing funny stories. Ted's stories are always enough to make you laugh until you cry.

The next day, Granny and Granddad came back and got to visit Leah a little longer. She was in a much better mood, and she loved seeing them so much she gave a big toothless grin! Oh, so cute!




ROAD TRIP!!!!

On Thursday, my mom and I took Leah on a road trip to Nacogdoches to meet my Meemaw and Pawpaw. It was a 2 1/2 hour trip up there and she barely made a peep. She slept the whole way! I guess she gets that from me. I can sure sleep in the car!
My Pawpaw has been in and out of the hospital and we wanted to take her when he was out! We visited with Meemaw and Pawpaw, and also my Uncle Bubba, Aunt Susan, and my cousin, Kristen. We missed seeing my other cousin Kaylyn, who is in College Station. Leah did well at her first restaurant too. Luckily it was not crowded and it was casual, just in case she decided to cry, which she didn't!
It took us a little more like 3 hours to get home, because it was raining cats and dogs! Leah slept the whole way again. And I know what you're thinking, that she wouldn't sleep at night, but she slept from 8:45-2:00 and then 2:30-6:00. What a snoozer! :)

This past weekend, "Uncle" Dave and "Aunt" Sara came to stay with us. Here they are with Leah!






On Sunday, Ted and Susan came back over to a much happier Leah. Paul and Mary also were in town for Paul's business and got to meet her. She enjoyed showing off her nursery!
