My Grandbaby Layla pics
This is MY corndog!
A white Christmas in Charlotte.
Gettin’ to know Einstein.
Pap makes a Box Car…
TEST DRIVE – boxes are the most fun of all!
“Aunt Katie, could you make my hair look like that?”
My daddy is teaching me to read – but I like to try to figure out the story just by looking at the pictures!
My Pap thinks I am the most wonderful thing ever…He is amazed that I can sit up all by myself – bu then it doesn’t take much for me to amaze him!

Me and my beautiful mommy.
Ain’t I cute in my Halloween costume?
My Aunt Katie got to come over to my house and play with me – she is the greatest! And she wears the coolest clothes. I can’t wait ’til I get to be a teenager and she gets to take me shopping!
Sometimes I like to just lay here and think – and sucking my fingers seems to help the process…
and sometimes fingers just aren’t enough!
I wish my “Pap” didn’t live soooo far away!
This is me in my new outfit that my Pap picked out for me. Don’t he pick out the “coolest” clothes?

I got my ears pierced. And it didn’t hurt one bit – yeah right!
This is me wearing my new hat that my “Nina” made for me. Hey – it’s better than socks and underwear at Christmas – and it’s purdy!
My daddy loves me – can’t you tell?
I might be toothless – but my Pap says I have a beautiful smile!
That’s me – all dressed up like a little baby doll on Mother’s Day.
That’s my mama holdin’ me on Mother’s Day-ain’t she purdy? She’s wearin’ the locket that she (and my Pap) gave to my Nina when my mama was born. It will be mine one day – when I have a little baby!
It’s Mother’s day – and I’m wearing my mom’s baby necklace and her special dress from when she was a little baby girl! My daddy took my mama out to Starbuck’s for a special date and surprized her with these purdy flowers. Ain’t he sumpin’!
Oh, the facial expression that we make when we talk to our grandbabies!
So peaceful!
That’s me with Nina and Pap in the park.
Just a little hint of a smile.
Daddy, mommy, Nina and Pap all got to eat sandwiches on our picnic – but I didn’t get any!
Baby Layla – safe in the arms of her “Pap”

im so blessed to have “this” to call my family!
I love it! Nina and Pap! I knew you would pick a great one. Thanks for sharing these pictures with us. We do want to see and this is the way we can share in your joy. My love to everyone!
I too think your names are great! I still marvel at technology that allows me to share this special visit. Layla is a doll baby! And yes, your writing is so very special! Will pray for your safe return tonight and your next trip as soon as your feet touch US soil!
What a beautiful family–inside and out.
Love you
Gail
I know leaving will be difficult, I will be praying for you both. Hurry HOME. Miss Ya/ Give that beautiful one a kiss from Nana.
Layla is a beautiful baby, so she can’t take after Johnny but must take after her mother and grandmother. Just kidding! You guys have every right to be very proud of this beautiful granddaughter. It will be difficult for you to leave her so we are certainly praying for you guys!
Blessings,
Don’t forget to give her a kiss from NONA as well. Hurry back! Jim is out of control!!! Have a great time with your little angel and know that we love you all and miss you very much!!
Oh what a beautiful new blessing. I know you are all so overjoyed. God is so good. Thank you for making it possible to share in your joy through this medium. It’s the next best thing to being there. Hey, can you help me set up a blog?
Just joking — my life’s not as interesting. That’s OK,though. Love you all.
I love the first picture of my great niece. Casey in a dress!!! I can’t wait to meet her in person one day and shower her with kisses. Glad you guys are home safe. Love, Jeanene
Aww … she’s absolutely precious! And whoever takes this photos is excellent at capturing beautiful moments!
She’s beautiful, definitely Daddy’s girl!!! As a grandmother now for 10 years, I know the love and joy you are experiencing in your hearts, they are our gifts from Our God. t
OK, now I’m convinced she’s part mine. I saw her sucking the same two fingers my Zack did (for many years). They mmake the best babies though. Love yall.
