Nathan and I have been very blessed this weekend so far. My mom and grandmother came in on Friday, on their way to my uncle's house, and Nathan's parents came in for Mason's (our nephew) dedication. My mom and grandmother, Mimi, got here yesterday and babysat the kids while Nathan and I went out and ate Mexican food. It was wonderful to have that time and eat great food too. The time warp began right when they got here. Baylie might look like Nathan, but she acts exactly like me. I am extremely close to Mimi and have always been. We had our own secret language and I wanted to be with her always! I remember my parents coming to pick me up from her and my Papa's house (which was only five houses down from mine) and me throwing a huge fit because I wanted to stay with her. I am not saying I threw a fit every time, but I know I at least cried. Right when my mom comes to visit the secret language begins with Baylie and they are off into their own world of granddaughter and grandmother. Everytime I see them together it's Mimi and I all over again. The same is true with the leaving except it is my mom leaving Baylie. Baylie cries every time, but instead of holding onto cabinets in order to not leave like I did she just straps herself into the carseat my mom has in her car. As all four generations look at each other we understand and take it all in stride, while poor Nathan is standing wondering what in the world is going on. Here is the big thing that shows God's sense of humor Baylie has two grandmother's where I only had one. So, I get back what I gave just double! I am really looking forward to our day tomorrow with Nana (Nathan's mom), but I'm already bracing myself for what is going to come.
Nonnie, Baylie, Mimi, and Stacie
Don't judge us by the picture. It was humid and hot and I refused to put make up on today!
