Ohhh Baby!

The Chief was wonderful and supportive recently when I asked if I could go to Denver alone to spend the weekend with my oldest friend in the world, Julie. It was a big deal as he had to be dad and mom all rolled in one and coordinate schedule, carpool, football practice, and daycare. Meanwhile, I just got to fly off, and relax in beautiful, sunny Castle Rock!It was an amazing weekend for me! (Thanks, Schatz, Ich liebe dich)

Big Brother Nicholas plays and sings to baby Lydia...He was so sweet with her!

Some tummy time for Lydia

This little girl was only 12 days old when she lifted herself up off this contraption! It almost looks like she is smiling! On this little toy, she lays on her stomach, with her feet touching the ground, and she is able to "kick" herself around and the thingee in the middle spins. It made me laugh! It amazed me that at such a young age, and only 6.5 lbs. she can do this. Reaffirms to me that God is Great!

Here's Mamma Julie and Sweet Lydia. I love this photo!

I got to tend Nicholas and Lydia while Lee took Julie to her 2 week follow-up appointment. I absolutely loved snuggling with this sweet girl! I loved this photo because of the way she was looking up at me. Made my heart melt!

 Julie is my oldest friend. We met when we were 15, and have been there for one another since then. Isn't she beautiful? She is so smart too, and a wonderful mommy! I love being in her home, with her family. It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend for me, and I look forward to going again. Maybe next time, I'll let Seth come along, to play with Nicholas!

Thanks for sharing Lydia with me, Lee & Jules. IU friend!
