Uncle Jesse's visit home!

My brother came home this past weekend to visit family and meet his new little niece Lyla. I was so excited to see him because I hadn't seen him in about a year and a half. He's in the Navy and has been deployed on a ship for about 6 months. Getting to spend time and laugh with him was just awesome! He definitely loved little Lyla, although I think it was weird for him....I mean, the last time he saw me I was not pregnant and in the entire time he was gone I got pregnant, went through 9 months of pregnancy, and had a baby. So I definitely think it was a little weird for him to see his sister answer the door with a baby in tow. Anywho, while he was here he was able to catch up with several family members, take me to the NEX (Navy Exchange), play a little softball, and basically, just hang out. I know I say it all the time, but Jesse can seriously make me laugh like no other. He made me cry laughing so many times this weekend....it just makes me miss him so much.

Jesse loves his niece!
My granddaddy let Jesse try some homemade moonshine...that was like 15 years old! YUCK!
Monday, Lyla was able to meet little Kennedy! Kennedy has grown so much! It really is amazing to see what I have to look forward to. Sitting up, rolling around on the floor, laughing...it's just so exciting! Kennedy was definitely interested in Lyla and Lyla was basically just real tired! Anywho, I had fun playing with Kennedy and catching up with Jill.

Kennedy was very interested in Lyla....

Also, in other news my cousin Karen just got engaged to her boyfriend (now fiance) Luis! I'm so excited for her! I think they are planning a Spring 2010 wedding! YAYYY!
