Grandparents:)

Dear Grandma & Grand-daddy,
I had SO much fun with you this past weekend...so much fun that I didn't even realize my mommy and daddy weren't around. Thank you for sticking to my schedule because I am such a happy girl when I know what's going on! I am sorry I fell asleep during my night-time bottle...I guess I had too much fun during the day to stay awake any longer. And sorry I got up so early Sunday morning...I was just so excited when I remembered you were in town. Gosh I had so much fun with you both - I love you so much and look forward to many play weekends in the future!
Love you & miss you much,
Lyla Anne

The Grandparents to the rescue. Our great friends Casey and Levon got married this past weekend - CONGRATS!! The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we were so honored to be a part of the big day. The weekend was jammed packed with fun wedding activities so we called upon the best possible babysitters - The Grandparents! Grandma & Grand-daddy arrived Friday afternoon around 2pm. We handed Lyla off to them around 6pm and it was smooth sailing from there. With Lyla's schedule taped to the refrigerator and a couple helpful hints - we headed out for our first real night out on the town since Lyla's arrival with not one worry in the world - Lyla Byrd was in GREAT loving hands.

We returned from the rehearsal dinner to find Lyla fast asleep and the grandparents cleaning up the kitchen :)

Saturday we left around 1pm - grandma & grand-daddy couldn't get us out of the door fast enough. During Lyla's long afternoon nap, grandma managed to make a chocolate pie, 2 chicken pot pies and lasagna...WOW dinner for the entire following week. Honestly, can it get any better!!!

Saturday night Lyla went out to dinner with grandma & grand-daddy...one of Lyla's favorite things to do...be in public - in a highchair - with a mum-mum cracker - looking at the world around her - and the best added bonus of all: grandma & grand-daddy!!!!

And here we are dressed to impress....

What a fabulous weekend...and I didn't even cry when the grandparents left...but only because we are headed back to Ohio this weekend for another adventure:):):)

THANK YOU GRANDMA & GRAND-DADDY

You are the BEST!!!!!!!

Okay, so I know that you guys have to be busy getting back into the routine after being out of town, but I'm really looking forward to those race/pool/etc photos since my camera was mostly out of commission for the weekend. ;)
