Maebry and her grandmothers

Well, Dusty and I cannot believe that are little girl is growing so fast. Her face seems longer as well as her body. We are still jubilant over her being home.

The third week of August brought many goods to Dusty and I. We had time to figure out what we were going to do with regards to Maebry and her future Nanny. We also got to see all her grandmothers again. She also got to see her Grand-daddy, Uncle Kolton and her Grand-Aunt Sandy.

Doesn't she look sweet sleeping on her sweet Grandmomma.

A closer shot showing Maebry and her sleepy face. Also this is one her favorite position, which is a face plant on someones chest.

Mae and her Grand-daddy, Alvie, he was sweet enough to sit with her and put her to sleep for us.

Mae is wearing her yellow Butterfly outfit while her Grandma Susan, who is also were yellow, is holding her, all the while her Uncle Kolton is looking on.

Then later that same week, my mom, Mamaw Charlene, came into town. My mom has been really busy with work with budgets and getting fiscal things ready for the City of San Saba, where she works. So, she was able to come down for four days and visit with us and stay a while. She came into town on Wednesday, August 19 and went home August 23.

While Mamaw Charlene was here Maebry had an eye doctor appointment. Her visit was more horrific Dusty and I, but didn't look fun for her either. Basically, they took a clamp that held her eyelids back, exposing her entire eyeball...then measured the shape and size of her eyeball. Very scary indeed, but they numbed her eyes and she was mad, but not too too upset. Needless to say, she slept the remainder of the day...wiped out! You can see from below, she did come home with one new thing that didn't scare us or hurt her...in fact, quite the opposite.

Her future's so bright...she needs shades! Terminator shades!

Mamaw Charlene helped out by cleaning while we were at the eye doctor, cooking one of my favorite dishes (fried pork chops, mash potatoes & gravy). And then later she helped Dusty and I organize a monstrous garage sale. We worked for two whole days to get things finally boxed and ready to sale. We didn't do that bad. It was probably the hottest day in August but we survived with help from breakfast tacos, cold tea and a deck of cards. Yes we played Texas Hold'em.

All the while, Mamaw Charlene was spending time with her grand-daughter and helping console Mae or putting her to sleep during the late night hours. She also got to see all her grand kids one trip. My sister and her family came by on Saturday to visit. My cute niece Tatum took a few photos of her momma and Miss Mae. I need to get those from her and post them (RIGHT HERE)!!

However, I guess I will just have to post the pictures we took with our camera.


Here is Miss Mae and she is getting held by Mamaw Charlene's good friend Joyce. Joyce came by Friday all the way from Canyon Lake to visit and bring Mae gifts. Thank you Mrs. Joyce for the cute outfits and wash clothes & towels.

Here is a close-up of Miss Mae. She smiling at her new friend Mrs. Joyce. Too SWEET!

Can you believe it...you can see our garage door. This is what our garage looked like after our all- day garage sale event. Mae even came out to visit some of our patrons who endured the intense heat to rummage through our wrongly-priced belongings.

Here are a few photos we took of Mae with her Mamaw Charlene right before she left to go back to Richland Springs. The second picture is too sweet. She looks like she wants to talk to her Mamaw. We know Mae is missing her Mamaw's kisses right about now.

Thanks to all the grandmothers who came to visit. Mae loves you all, and of course she loves all her other visitors, too. And yes, she told us herself. She also said to say "Thanks a million and come back any 'ole time!"
