Lovin' on Shelby

Shelby got a visit from her BooBoo and PopPop (Derek's mom & step-dad) this weekend.

There is nothing sweeter than seeing the love of grandparents!

We had a short but sweet visit with them. Unfortunately, Derek was on call and missed out on the fun. But who are we kidding, they didn't come for Derek...they came to love on their grandbaby! :)

We also had the privilege of having two of our dearest friends stop by for a a visit last night as they were making the trek from Texas to Georgia for Christmas. We were thrilled to get to introduce them to Shelby for the first time. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Derek & me with Bret & Jenny...but we did get some good shots of Bret lovin' on Miss Shelby!

Do you think this guy is gonna make a good Daddy one day, or what?!

After Shelby went to bed, we had the best time visiting just the four of us. The past three months with Shelby have been wonderful, but it was nice to feel like our old selves for just a couple of hours with old friends. Last night was good for our souls. There is just nothing like laughing and spending quality time with people who really know you and love you. We really enjoy the military life and all that it entails--moving around and getting the opportunity to explore new places and meet new people, but nothing can hold a candle to the comforts of home, family, and old friends.
