Virginia

the rest of our trip was pretty uneventful. we spent lots of time in gram and gramp's pool, and got to see lots of people that we love, and haven't seen in a while.

mae discovered her new favorite way to nap in the car...

 and of course there was lots of "shacking" by the pool. 

this lady is getting pretty brave.  by the end of the trip, she didn't need someone to hold her in the water, and she was starting to jump in.

 she is definitely our little fishy. 

 

she had so much fun with all of the attention she got.  she got very attached to everyone, and it was so special to see these relationships grow.

 my cousin and mae are 2 months apart in age, and it was so funny to see them interact.  they weren't sure what to think of each other, and were definitely sizing each other up!

it was so good to go home and spend time with family and friends.  it was hard to leave, and i still get a little teary when i think about it.  i miss virginia and all the special people there, but coming back to texas made me realize that we have a pretty great life here.  and even though part of my heart will always be in virginia, this is home.
