My Cup Runneth Over...

This weekend was reaaaal nice. I can't really remember what we did Friday night...oh yeh, Lyla and I went up to the Tate Baseball field and helped Rhett collect tickets for a couple innings during the Varsity game. Then we all went home and had a movie night. Although I can't remember the movie...hmmm, my memory is getting bad. ***Update! I just remembered the movie! =) Slumdog Millionaire! It was so good! Sorry, just had to add that in there!***
Saturday we got ready and went out to Chumuckla and met Rhett's parents out there for the Bluegrass Festival. That's right folks, I went to a Bluegrass Festival...and enjoyed it. We stayed out there all day (Rhett's parents had their camper set up) and just listened to the music and ate good food all day long. Rhett's parents got to spend time with their granddaughter (Lord know they love that) and I got to spend a little time with Rhett. Needless to say, I think little Lyla loved the Bluegrass music because it would always put her right to sleep. Anywho, it was such a nice Saturday.
The fam outside the camper...Rhett's dad was "jamming" on the guitar for us.
Me and my Lyla getting ready to go listen to some good ole country music! Yee haw! =)
Sunday I cleaned the house (I had to take advantage of Rhett being there to watch Lyla) and then Rhett and I took a nice, long nap while Lyla napped. Oh that was so very nice. I miss naps. I miss sleeping soundly. But I do have to say the trade is so very worth it.
Lyla wearing the new hairbow her mommy made her....she loves it! Can't you tell??!
I also have to say (I was talking to Kristi about this the other day) how much having a baby changes your life. And not just in the lack of sleep department. I'm talking in the relationship with your husband department. Mine and Rhett's relationship as husband and wife has changed so much since having Lyla....I'm more in love with Rhett now then I was before we became parents. I don't know if that sounds bad, of course I loved him before but now it's just different. I can't really explain it. I love the way he is with Lyla. His love for her makes me love him even more. It's just an amazing love we both have for Lyla. A selfless love, and I think that that love carries over into mine and Rhett's relationship. I suppose that's the only way I can explain it. My love for him has just grown exponentially. Rhett and I don't get much alone time anymore and the alone time we get we treasure more now then ever. Lyla is the best thing that has or could ever happen to me and Rhett and we are so very blessed and thankful for her. That's all. =)
Her shirt says "I'm Nuts About Daddy"...it's one of those iron on things. I got a bunch of things like that from JoAnns Fabrics and made her a few cute onesies!
