Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter this year - and hope all of you did, too! Joy's family drove down to spend the weekend with us. We went shopping for Easter goodies, took Lily on her first trip to the zoo, enjoyed a delicious ham dinner, and celebrated God's love with a celebration of the third day at church Sunday morning. It was a fantastic weekend!

Lily awoke Easter morning to a pile of goodies and surprises for her on the table (and, truth be told, some goodies for the adults, too!).

Then it was time to get ready and go to church for Easter Sunday services. Lily wore a new dress that Mommy and Grandma Lamolli had picked out for her while Easter shopping a few days earlier. She had a great time playing with her friends in the nursery at church while the rest of us attended the service.

I will post pictures of Lily's first trip to the zoo in the next blog posting ... coming soon!

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...
