Waiting for Lyla

Sandra & Aaron asked us to watch Lydia for them when the time came for the baby to be born. I was so excited that they picked us! We had a trial run a couple of Sundays before the baby was born. Sandra had been having contractions all afternoon so we met up at Bentleyville. We walked around, looked at the lights and brought Lydia home with us and the Benney's headed for the hospital. An hour later they were headed for home. We kept Lyds since she was already sleeping and Sandra came over the next morning and spent the day with us.


Sleepover #1

They brought Lydia over again the Sunday night before Sandra was induced. Monday was a bit crazy with three two year olds running around, one was getting her molars, one was missing her momma and the oldest one who was being bossy & bratty. By Tuesday morning Lydia was really missing her parents, but she was sweet & cuddly & only cried a little bit. We went to the hospital that morning so she could meet her new sis - Lyla Sophia Benney. When she saw her she immediately said, "Hode it!" (Hold it) It was sooo sweet.

We love you Lydia Mae!
