I Miss Leah

Tonight Leah went back to Grandpa and Grandma Layton's house, and I miss her already. So I'm posting a bunch of photos from our weekend together that will help me remember our fun times together. Posted in no particular order - just a look at some of the fun things we did.

Leah can wash her own hair and is a maniac in the bathtub!





Leah loves pasta with a little maranara sauce. Hence (da, da), the need for the above hair washing.












Leah played hard every day, and became a master at standing up to play.













She gave us a piano recital every day, and make no mistake . . .



. . . she let us know that her hands were the only hands allowed on the piano keys.




"I fly solo, Grandpa, solo."





Love the curls as Leah is dressed for Church on Sunday. Yes, we went to church and she was a champion. Maren, we spent 2 hours of the block in the nursery and she LOVED it.





"Leah Toast" is now the official name for wheat toast with a little butter. Gotta have it every day.






Leah LOVES to swing - it's great to have the tree swing in the backyard.








Leah, ready for church with Grandpa Richard, and . . .









. . . with Grandma.











Hair washed and dressed for church, Leah wanted to look at the family pictures Maren had put in her card for the day before. She loves and misses her mommy and daddy.












We took a walk every day. On Friday we walked to the Bonneville trail head so Leah could get a good look at where she will someday run with her mommy and grandma. (we can do it, leah. Someday we'll both run!)












Leah was full of very cute faces . . .












. . . and very cool faces. Oh, yea. We went in the stream, but the water was pretty cold, so we just got the toes wet. Mostly we just sat on the lawn looking very, very cool. Bishop Lowder even came over and talked to us.








Looking at all these pictures just makes me excited to pick up Leah again next Thursday. We'll have another great weekend and be ready for Maren to join us. In the meantime, Leah says, "Have a great time Mommy and Daddy! I love you and I'm being very, very good."

It looks like you had a great time with Leah. She sure is cute. I hope to someday meet her in person. Valerie's girl cousins are like her sisters to her, since she doesn't have any sisters.
