TK and I love all of our grandkidlets fiercely (as you already know!) BUT....Layla was our first girl and was born HERE in Elkhart! Of course I have millions of pictures of her and only thousands of the others!
Layla has always been a "PopPop's Girl". This is just a fact of life! They have always had a special bond and I love that they do. Layla loves being awakened, every other week, with a gentle backrub and a snuggle from her PopPop. Layla might have trouble seeing through the mass of curls on her head after a good night's sleep but she knows it's her PopPop. She also knows that he will be there when she and Marley get off the bus. So many pictures...so little time!

"This is more fun than.......anything!"
May 27th is Layla's 10th birthday. We were at the Snell Cottage yesterday to celebrate Memorial Day and the birthdays.
What a perfect way to celebrate birthdays, to end a difficult winter, to begin a summer and be with family.
