Brylee's Week with Nanny & Papa

So a couple of weeks ago Nanny & Papa (Bryan's parents) returned from traveling for a couple of weeks and made a trip through Wylie on their way home to Abilene. They stayed with us for part of the weekend...

 ...and then took this sweet girl with them back to Abilene!

 I was nervous at first about having her gone from me for a whole week! Especially since Bryan and I were just going to be at home and working. But it turned out to be such a great week for Brylee and her grandparents and for Bryan and I to catch up on some alone time.

 Brylee had such a great week with her Nanny and Papa, and they really spoiled her with all of her favorite things. She got to see goats and chickens out at the farm.

 She is really into farm animals these days, especially cows. Her favorite song is Ee-Ii-Ooh, and sings it multiple times a day.

 She also loves her cousin, Luke, who gave Brylee special attention all week!

 Nanny and Papa bought her a little swimming pool and lounge chair for the backyard, but her favorite activity continues to be swinging!

 She also had a lot of fun playing trains with Papa

 Nanny and Papa took Brylee and Luke to the zoo one morning, which is always a hit!

 Monkeys

 Bears

 Turtles/Fish?

 Poor thing was tuckered out after a long morning of animal sightings!

 One morning Nanny already had some commitments, so Papa took Brylee to the Library for story time!

 Papa also enjoyed building Brylee tall towers...

 ...and Brylee enjoyed knocking them over!

 And they ended the evenings with casual walks.

 It is so wonderful to have two sets of parents who absolutely love our child unconditionally! We were able to leave Brylee with my parents for a week in March while we were out of town, and it was so nice to have this week alone to catch up on time together with just Bryan and myself. And it is so nice to know that Brylee is in such good hands and having such a good time. I'm pretty sure she hardly misses us (although, when we Face-Timed her she would get extremely excited to see us, which made my heart happy!)

Bryan and I headed to Abilene the next weekend to spend a few nights with family and pick up our big girl. This "big girl" got to hold her first baby while we were there, and was only semi-impressed :) Ha!

It was so nice to have my sweet girl back in my arms!
