PICTURE HAPPY

I wish I could just upload picture after picture onto this site. I love taking pictures, I just wish I could keep up with my scrapbooking with as fast as I take them.  Although I've recently gotten into digital layouts and wow what a time saver. The picture at the bottom of this series is taken by the fabulous photographer Sophia George..hilarious. She's really getting into taking pictures. Sometimes I find pictures on my camera of the trees, pictures of our walls, or even pictures of Nyla looking scared to death because Sophia is a little trigger happy. 
So Nyla has reached another milestone that happened last week.  She's rolling over! The first few times she rolled over in her crib I think it scared her half to death.  She was laying there on her back just wailing and flinging her arms. Now she does her little squeal and is a little more relaxed when it happens.  I think she's more concerned about keeping her pacy in her mouth when she rolls over more than anything. 
Okay does Nyla look like Ryan or what? Someone asked me the other day if I had anything to do with Nyla and I just started laughing. Yes, Nyla is Daddy's little clone. Especially when you see Ryan's baby pictures. I don't think she'll have his blond hair that he had as a little boy but she might be keeping these big blue eyes! It's so neat getting to know her little personality. Ryan and I were saying that the only time she really cries is to let you know that she's tired or hungry. We call her sweet girl quite a bit and we might be biased but she truly is.  
I'm flying home with the girls this week so please pray for an uneventful and safe flight. My parents have not been in the best health so we're heading home to help & hang out. We're looking forward to seeing Grandma at the airport and spending some time with her as we travel to Ohio. Then we'll be spending time with Nana & Papa, Amy & Brian and the kids, and we'll see Matt & Elizabeth and Franklin sometime over the weekend. We're already prepping Sophia that she'll really have to be my big helper and she says," Yeah because Nyla has never been on a plane yet. " I think she's going to do great but please pray that things go smoothly. Have a great week!

Sisters

I'm so excited that Sophia and Nyla are already friends. When I watch them interact I'm reminded of the blessing of having a sister and I pray that they'll become close friends like me and Amy. Of course they'll have tifts and stages with one another but I pray that they'll treasure each other and learn to appreciate their differences. 
Sophia loves to keep Nyla entertained and Nyla thinks she's funny so it works out well. There have been so many times that Sophia will be interacting with Nyla and Ryan and I will be on the verge of saying, "give her some space," but then we're stopped by the sound of laughter. They love making each other smile and Sophia takes great pride in making her little sister happy.
