Meeting Miss Laney!

2 weekends ago I got to go back to Dallas to meet and hang out with Laney.  It was such a fun trip home.  Alyson, Ryan and Laney picked me up from the airport and I got to see L-bug with my own eyes for the very first time.  I just stared at her perfect little face the entire way home.  And of course got some taco bueno on the way!  This baby has got to be one of the best babies.  I was amazed at how much you really have to do everything for a newborn.  She would literally sleep, wake up, play for a minute or two, be hungry, eat, burp, and fall back asleep again.  Incredible.  It was so amazing to see my big sister be a wonderful mom to her baby.  And that girl is so lucky to have Ryan as her dad.  

On Saturday we just slept in (well I did I am not sure if Laney and Alyson did) and hung out in the morning.  My other sister Amy and her boyfriend's kids (Christian and Cameron) came over to Alyson's.  Eventually we had a lot of family and of course Lisney over to hang out.  Shout out to Lis for bringing me some Boulevard Wheat even though she was exhausted from being at the Extreme Home Makeover site all day!  It was a great night!  And the day was still filled with ooing and awwing over Laney and how perfect she is.  I finally got to give her the clothes I had been stocking up for her since she was born.  She wore one of my outfits every day.  Not sure if it was because her mom thought they were just too cute or she figured she could wear them while I was there and never again ;-) 

On Sunday I went to my dad and marilyn's house and got to hang out with them for a bit.  Then met up with Kristin to go see her new house she is building!  It is coming along and hopefully she will be all moved in when we come back for Labor Day.

After a yummy lunch at El Norte with all the girls and Christian and Cameron it was time for me to head back home.   I'll admit I teared up a bit when I was leaving but tried my best to keep it under control.  Although it is sad I don't get to see my family and now especially Laney more often, she will have no doubt that I love her very much.  I can't wait to go see her in September and am really looking forward to them coming out to FL next summer!
