Last Saturday night, our niece Naya arrived at our house to stay with us for a week, while Jodi and Ryan are on vacation with Nana and Papa. Bostyn is in heaven and Im afraid to see what "withdrawal" will look like once Naya goes back home. :( And even Naya may be a little sad leaving with all the fun she has been having.
We have been loving every minute of having her, and she makes sure to keep us busy :) Especially Uncle Matt who gets to spend every day with the 2 girls. Matt is truly a superstar, and the girls seem to think so too.
Below are pictures from the last 4 days. I can't believe her stay with us, is already 1/2 over :( Just in this short amount of time, I can tell the house will have such a different feel, once the little ball of energy goes back home.

| Tanner (Our nephew/ Naya's brother) came and stayed with us the first night, before he went to go and stay with his dad. He helped us with the transtion, especially when he served the role as "translator," and letting us know what Naya was saying (LOL). She pretty much adores her brother, and as you can tell, he feels the same for her. |
No, this is not the only bedroom in our house, but it IS the only bedroom that the kids requested to sleep in that night. So, all 5 of us, including Ranger found our own spot for the night. This also started our now, nightly ritual of watching "Curious George" before going to bed.

| One of Naya's favorite things to do so far, is play "dress up." Auntie might have gone a little overboard, and put together a special dress up station, just for Naya while she stayed. It has definitely been one of the biggest hits. We just laugh and watch her look at herself in the mirror. She very much admires her self. LOL. |

| Took Nay Nay to the park on her first full day with us, which lead to her first back flip off of a swing (unintentionally). No worries, we quickly moved her to the "safe swings" as Uncle Matt called them. LOL |

| Eating her salad, that she made ALL by her self. She was very proud. And it was what she wanted to eat at the next 3 meals. |

| Naya picking our her sticker for the, "How many sleeps until I get to see Mommy and Daddy" calendar. This is part of our nightly routine before nigh-nigh! |
You guys did such an amazing job with her. She was well taken care of (which was never a concern)and more than entertained! :) Thank you so very much to both of you and to lil lizard for having to share the attention all week. Love you all so much!
