Saturday in the Park

Hooray for warmer weather! We took our first family walk to the local park recently. It was so nice to get out and enjoy the fresh air and warmer temperatures. Lily got to run around the park, play on the jungle gym and take a ride on the swings for the very first time. She LOVED the swing! Even though it wasn't the "4th of July", here's our little "Saturday in the Park"...

Lily loved walking the path to the park all by herself. Freedom!!

That is, until she reached the point where the asphalt walkway met the white concrete sidewalk. The sudden change in the path was too frightening and she refused to step on the white sidewalk, so we picked her up and gently placed her on the sidewalk so she could tell that it was indeed solid ground and okay to walk on. Silly girl. :)



With the trauma of the changing walkway behind her, she was now ready for some serious fun on the swing!!

Hooray - that was fun!

Time to go, now. See ya at home, Mom and Dad - I'm outta here.

Are you coming?

Now that Spring has Sprung, we are having fun getting out and about (and taking more pictures!). I'll post some more pictures soon - from Easter and Lily's first trip to the zoo. Happy Spring everybody!

New adventures in living room photography

Here are some new photos of Lily.

Super Bowl, Haircuts and Winter Dress-Up

Okay, once again it has been WAY too long since we have updated this blog. We take the pictures - we just don't download them from the camera to the computer so we can share them with others. Bad parents, Bad!

So ... to catch everyone up ... here are some pictures from the last couple months.

We went to a Super Bowl Party at our church and Lily supported the Vikes (even though ONCE AGAIN they didn't make it to the Super Bowl). Hey, it's our version of fantasy football - in our fantasy, the Vikes finally make it to the big game.

Before the party, though, Lily had to get her bangs cut. We thought she might want to be able to see without hair in her eyes. This was her first haircut.

And finally, just some random pictures we've taken around the house...

The "Lily-Go-Round"

I intended to post these pictures several weeks ago - they're from November - but obviously the blog was neglected for a long time. So, better late that never, I guess...

We have discovered that Lillianna LOVES the merry-go-round at the Mall of America. Actually, she loves all kinds of rides, being tossed in the air, plane take-offs, all those things that make your stomach drop. I think we might have a future roller coaster rider here! Here are a few pictures from a couple trips to "The Mall"...
