Favorites

Some favorites at our house include:

*Bubble baths!
*Watching "animal shows" with Daddy on the couch.
*Snuggling in mommy's bed every night before bed.
*School! Lilly has made some darling little projects - this one being one of my favorites. She also learned the Pledge of Allegiance. So proud of her!

What?

"Claire is a creature, and not apart of this family".

That about how much Lilly loves Claire at the moment!

Love Bug

Lilly Bug,
Do you know how much I love you and adore you? I hope you do.
I love that little face of yours and want to give you loves all day long.
Thanks for being my little buddy.
Love you sweet pea!

The Weekend

My birthday weekend was mellow, but wonderful. Just the way I like it!

* On my actual birthday, my mom, sisters and granny took me out to lunch. Loved being with them. 

* Later that night had cake and ice cream at home with my little family. 

* Lunch and dessert from my darling, wonderful friends on Friday to help celebrate mine and Mary's 30th!

* Friday went on a hot date...dinner and a movie. So much fun!

* Saturday went on a shopping spree up at the outlets. 

* Sunday was dinner at my moms and a two hour episode of Downton. Perfection!

(picture of my hair coming soon...I cut it ALL off!)

In Our World

1. So, I am turning 30 on Thursday. Weird. My friend April said I need to do something crazy during my last week in my 20's. That, I am. A big change is coming on Wednesday afternoon. Little nervous, little excited!

2. This little bug is such a joy. Between breaking up screaming fits between sisters, and cleaning up toys for the 10,000 time, she is an absolute joy and SO funny. All the sudden over the last week, her vocabulary has taken off. My favorites: Sank YOU (emphasis on you) Mama, Hi there Mama (or Lilly, Daddy, Papa, Nana), Stop it!. It is a treat for her to go chill out on my bed. She loves it...its like its her safe little place to be. Such a cutie.

3. I. LOVE. THIS. SHOW. I look forward to 8:00 Sunday nights all week. I LOVE it. The costumes, the story, it's set in England....everything about it. I love it!

4. Lilly is loving school, and is learning a lot. She didn't want to take dance anymore, so I pulled her out. She still dances - with Claire - everyday to her princess music. She loves to dance, but didn't like to go to class. Can't blame her, I was the exact same way. She is a sweet little bug, and she tells me everyday "Mom, we're best friends right?!". I adore her. 

5. Whats new with Anton....work, work, work, swimming, work. Busy boy - so grateful for his hard work.
