Lyla entered the Nix family on February 2nd. She entered our hearts well before then. We may not have known her yet, but the bond and the love is instant. She is a doll. Lashelle, her girls (plural!), Johnny, and Becky drove to Austin from Lubbock to let us all meet her. Claire turned into a little Mommy, and LOVES to hold Lyla. She kept saying while she was holding her "she loves me so much." We all had to beg Claire to get turns to hold Lyla; she will not put her down. It warms my heart. Harper loves Lyla too, but she just isn't real interested in holding her. Harper loves to tell everyone about Lyla. Through Lyla's arrival, it has brought Harper and Lilliann closer. Claire holds Lyla; Harper bosses Lilliann around. Ha!

The first time I got to hold her was wonderful. She is so tiny!
PS - Do you see my Claire in the background staring, making sure that I am going to give her back soon?! |
 |
| This is Lyla several weeks old - isn't she pretty? |
 |
| Becky, Lashelle, and the girls visited Austin a few weeks ago. Harper and Lilliann played outside on the playscape. |

| I got to keep Lyla the night they were here. It was so special to be with her, and to hold a tiny little newborn. |
