I have been asked several times since I have been back if we had fun... we'll here is your answer.  Everyone is all smiles! It was REALLY fun.  It was good to spend some time with Ben, before he left for the Navy and the time with the rest of the family was precious! Halleigh really got to know that side of my family, and they are all thoroughly attached to her.

In fact, my dad came home from work the day before we left and said that he wanted to call Miles and tell him that he would send me back but he wanted to keep Halleigh. What am I chopped liver? ha ha ha Just Kidding Dad. :)

In the pictures: top left Brie, Baylee, Halleigh, and Blaze. top right Brie, me, Halleigh, Baylee. Bottom right Baylee and Halleigh. Bottom right center Halleigh and her great grandpa. Bottom left center Brie, Halleigh and Baylee.  Bottom right me and Halleigh.

We did lots of hanging out and that is just what I was hoping to do. Hanging out with my family felt SO good.  

Obviously Halleigh's uncles were in love with her.  Blaze (top)  spent the whole two weeks following Halleigh around the house.  It may have been harder for Ben (bottom) to leave Halleigh than anyone else.  As soon as we have Ben's address we'll have to send pictures.  Ben, we miss you!

These pictures were from the tea party that my parents' church had.  The pictures on the left is of me and Brie (my sister). On the left top is my paternal grandmother and my other sister, Baylee. On right bottom is Halleigh, Brie and a few of Brie's friends enjoying tea and social time. 

The tea party was so much fun that I am working on starting a tea party tradition at our church in Durham.
