Going back home in September

An example of what Kayla likes to do in the kitchen. Nan got out all her plastic containers so she could play. Kayla loves it.
She got to ride the carousel at the mall too. She was pretty nervous at first, but then knew that Daddy was right there with her.

We got to visit with my family some too. She had fun playing with PaPa.

Chad's mom and Aunt Cathy loved to dress Kayla up in a cute little West Monroe, Rebels cheerleading suit. She looked really cute and she knew it. She loved to pose and show it off.


With cousin Amy at the Rebels game. I swear, when she holds Kayla, she looks like her mom b/c of the red hair. I tell everyone that she got her red hair from her.

Nan and Papaw love to have Kayla in the stands with them and show her off to all their friends. They are pretty smitten with her.

Grandma & Grandpa got to see Kayla and gave her a sweet doll. It was so funny though b/c the doll said "I love you very much" when you pressed her tummy. The funny thing was that it said it in Spanish. It was very special though b/c only Grandma would give her that b/c she has poor hearing and poor vision. It was very cute and we will always remember that.

Kayla loves her doll and will hug it when she sees it. She had a great time at the G parent's house.
She loved swinging in their patio chair outside.

Aunt CaCa and cousin Allie are so much fun and they can't wait to see Kayla. They are great babysitters when we try to go out to the movies for a date when we come in town. They have to get their "Kayla fix" every so often. Now that we realized we can talk with the web cam, I think they can see Kayla more often. I love modern technology.

Kayla got to visit Nan at her work place when we went home this past September. Nan went back to work as a teacher b/c she's so great at it and she really missed the kids. (and they missed her). She was really excited about introducing Kayla to all her good teacher friends and the students. Kayla didn't know what to think though. She didn't change her "solomn" look the whole time.
Kayla loves her Nan and Nan loves for her to reach up to her. (Especially in front of her kids)
