Last Thursday evening my mom, sister and I drove to Temple, Texas, where my aunts and cousin live. We made it to my aunt Carol’s house a little after 1 a.m. The next morning we met my other aunt, my cousin Michelle and her adorable daughter Madilyn for breakfast before we made our way to Dallas to shop the weekend away. Luckily, I had my camera with me, so I snapped a few shots of Maddie while we ate.

Look how tan my mom is!

I know she’ll kill me for posting this, but I love this shot so much. This is the result of trying to focus on a baby while playing ‘airplane.’ 

I definitely contemplated sneaking Maddie into my suitcase. 

Have you ever wondered what the phrase ‘photoshop it out’ really means?

In this picture, there was originally a men’s bathroom sign and huge door hinge. Not so pretty.

Much better, right?

My sister claimed to not like holding babies, but she changed her tune when she saw how irresistible Maddie was

We ended up taking even more pictures after breakfast in my aunt Carol’s backyard.

I’ll be back with part two of adorable baby photos tomorrow!
