Braylin's 1st Outting on the Town

Nonnye came to visit from Lubbock and it just so happened to be a holiday in Granbury:

General Granbury's Birthday

 (you'll have to google it if you want the history... we just know there is lots of food and shopping and this year-- BEAUTIFUL WEATHER!)

I was nervous about getting her out and exposing her, but Braylin is almost 6 months old, and she needs a little fresh air and change of scenery just like anybody else. Plus, Nonnye was here to help surround Braylin with a shield. There were tons of booths and shopping and I was able to check a few things out, but we were mainly out just to stroll the town and soak up some rays. Braylin finally, REALLY got to meet the world.

She saw things she'd never seen, smelled new smells, heard new sounds and met new people (from afar of course). Bray was so happy and LOVED every bit of it.

It will be an afternoon that I will never forget.

Being such a good girl

So tired that Nonnye had to carry
 her all the way back to the car...

THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND.

 Braylin, you are a joy. You make me light up at the thought of your sweet little coos and smiles. You are precious. You are lots and lots and lots of answered prayers.

Mom, I know traveling 5 hours for a short weekend is hard, but you will never know how special each visit is to me. I treasure these moments with you. A daughter needs their mama even at 31 years old, and you are always able to make everything better. There aren't enough pictures or words to truly tell how wonderful your visits are.

I love you.
