What an amazing week! Kyla scored her first goal for her school soccer team! Unfortunately they lost in double overtime but Kyla scored the only goal for her team!! Daddy is so proud! Baby Amys has arrived...early like only Brooke would have it! Her name is Taylor Elizabeth Amys (we have an affinity to the name Taylre in our Parker family:) What I think is fun is that my sisters name is Taylre and Brooke's sister's name is Elizabeth (Libba) and they share the same birthday (one year apart)...anyhoo...Taylor Amys is gorgeous!! Brooke and Chris deserve some sort of lovely dessert for going through a very long 21 hour labor- so strong! Taylor is tiny and delicate and so sweetly new! I wasn't able to hold her yet because my baby Elliot and I are germ carriers at the moment but we stopped by to spread some Beans and Berries smoothie love and take some great pictures. Boy does Elliot look huge compared. It has only been 3 months since we were in the same hospital going through the same adjustment and it is amazing how fast they grow and change. We are so looking forward to many playdates to come! I also want to take a moment and apologize to my friend Chele who I told (with all of my motherly wisdom) that there was no way that Brooke would go into labor while she was away showing off how smart she is at a conference in Maryland! Really Chele...you might want to look into your priorities...don't you think you are smart enough:) hahahaha! Taylor didn't listen very well to you about this, imagine how it will be to babysit her...putting dead fish heads in your purse maybe???? Where in the world would she learn something like that?
Another amazing moment this week was my Grandma Rayn or G-ma or Gigigigi -drove 4 hours from her home in atlanta to see Elliot, Kyla, and Logan. Logan and g-ma are fast friends...so cute! She looks beautiful as usual and I am so grateful for her making the trip. Can't wait to spend more time together. We took a 4 generation picture together which is so fun. My sister Taylre and her son Braven are headed out here for mothers day weekend! So excited!!! Now all I need is to get my dad to come visit...hint hint...I will give Ryan and Beth a break since they might be busy learning how to raise their own beautiful daughter...but that excuse will only last for so long. I suppose we could get on a plane to see them but from what I understand Rayn is a much calmer baby - by that I mean she doesn't cry nearly as much as my Elliot...so it only makes sense that they take the what could be torturous plane ride across the country:) So for now we trade pictures and skype each other (need to do it again soon).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH PARKER - APRIL 12!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
