Meeting Miryn

On Sunday the kids and I drove to the Tri-Cities so they all could meet sweet Miryn.  I knew that it would have to be a short visit but they were begging all week long to go and see her.  Dave was on-call so he didn't join us.  We went to Grandma's house first but then decided to drive over to Nate and Samee's to see her before everyone joined us for dinner.

At Samee and Nate's house:

Oh that loving Ry...he wanted to hold her all.the.time.  He was so gentle with her, touching her face and telling me how soft her skin was, kissing her cheek, and talking sweetly to her.  It was precious.  He wanted to be by her side the entire time we were there.

While we were at Samee and Nate's house, Harper kept herself busy opening all of Miryn's new socks, hats, and clothes.  Rylan really wanted Samee to put this Nike outfit on Miryn.  It's way too big for her right now, but he was happy Samee let him lay it out on her like this.  This is Ry's picture.  He wanted to make sure the socks were in the picture too.  He told Grandma that he didn't have Nike stuff when he was a baby. 

Presley wanted to hold her alot too.  It was nice to be able to tell her we'd be back next Saturday without the boys and she'd have lots more time with Miryn then.

We went to Grandma's house for dinner and Papa Berries met us there.  I was happy to see him.  When Samee waked in, little Miryn was crying and this group crowded around her.   Papa was trying to calm her down, but no luck...she calmed right down when Samee picked her up.

Amy, Mylee, and Alyson joined us for dinner and we were happy to get a new cousins picture.
