Family is Forever

The Mayberry family finally were all together to get some pictures.  With the crazy wind and bright sun these were pretty much the only ones that turned out.

Hello Texas!

After a long 16 hour drive crossing the New Mexico and Texas border we finally made it to our nice little apartment.  Emphasis on the little, good thing we like each other.  We got to spend a few more days with my wonderful in-laws, who we are very grateful to for helping us move down here.  They joined us as we took Blakely on her first trip to the beach.  Of course, being 4 1/2 months old she really couldn't tell us if she was enjoying herself or not but she loved getting her feet in the water. But South Padre Island was a lot of fun!

Leaving family was definitely sad, but I'm glad I'm finally getting to live with my handsome husband and beautiful baby girl.

Kade started working on Tuesday, he's hoping this first part will go by quick so he can get to the real work.  Or as he says, "hunting people and crushing dreams". We are very grateful for this job he has and how hard he works to provide for his family.  It is absolutely heart warming to watch him play with Blake, give her baths, and make her laugh.  He is a wonderful father and amazing husband, I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

Blakely is stinkin adorable and so unloved?... yeah right! Her daddy is loving every second he gets to be with her.  Ok, maybe not quite so much in the middle of the night when she wakes up super fussy. ;)  She loves talking and finding her voice, its funny listening to her try to figure out how to scream.  She rolls over like a champ, loved having her toe nails painted, and toots like a grown man.... poor girl.  She can stand with all the weight on her legs but still wobbles a lot.  She is doing really good trying to sitting up by herself.

I love getting to spend the days raising my daughter.  I wonder sometimes who she is going to be as she gets older, what kind of personality she is going to have.  But then I see how cute she is now and hope her growing up doesn't come too fast!

Well we really miss all of our family and friends and hope they all know how grateful we are for all they do for us.  Thank you to my parents for allowing Blake and I to stay with them while Kade was at the academy and ALL the help my mother gave me since we got home from the hospital with a brand new baby.  All the lunch time visits and evening of you holding her so I could shower or work out or hang out with Morgan, it all meant so much to me.
