Maya playing happily on the deck. We spent a lot of time out there during our latest visit to TN.

Me and my brother; Eric, my sister-in-law Erica, and nephew, Liam! It's going to be interesting seeing how Liam and Maya get along and play together as the years go by.

Heather (one of my best friends) with Maya. Heather and I have been friends since 7th grade (1995), soon after my parents, brother and I moved to Clarksville from Germany.

Maya and her Uncle Eric. (Yep, she really does have two Uncle Eric's!)




The two cousins.




My dad and I took Maya to Chuck E. Cheese, and my mom met us there for lunch. Before Maya would ride any rides or play any games, she wanted to eat and have her diaper changed. She was pretty wary of all the lights and noises at first.



There we go. A little happier now that we've eaten! Riding the carousel.






Maya just slid down the slide and Papa was there to swoop her up. She absolutely adores him! I think my dad is turning into a softie now that he's got grandkids (Don't tell him I said that). ;-)






Maya and her Papa on his riding lawnmower in Tennessee. She didn't know exactly what to think, but did pretty good. I guess she knew Papa would keep her safe! :-)
