Hello, all! Since the arrival of Lily, I have decided that I might as well try my hand at a blog so I don't jam up your inboxes with pictures!!! This is a picture of Abby and Lily at 2 weeks. The girls are doing great - Lily is about to eat us out of house and home! She definitely is going through a growth spurt. Sleep for Keith and me is a distant, beautiful memory. I think God gives you selective amnesia about this stage, otherwise you would definitely only have one child! I can't tell you how many nights we have woken up at 3:00am with the lights on, fully clothed from the day before and Lily sacked out flat on top of me! Such is the life of parents of a newborn.

Lily turns 3 weeks today. It is really flying by fast. She has already changed a bunch in these short few weeks. She even smiled at me today, and I don't think it was gas... We are adjusting to that newborn schedule, and I am so thrilled when I get to take a shower. It's the little things... :)

The Ham in My House

Abby just cracks me up! Keith took some pictures of her Sunday before we left for church, and the deal was that for every "good" pose she gets to do a silly one. It was like Bruce Lee meets Charlie's Angels. Hilarious. Enjoy!

My Wildlife :)

Oh, here are a couple of Halloween pics.

Our Miss Lilypad in Abby's old leopard costume.

Oh, the dog costume... Abby has such a fettish with dogs these days. We looked EVERYWHERE for a costume, and I just resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to make her one the weekend before. Keith and I just happened to go into Pottery Barn Kids and lo and behold - a dog costume! This cute little number that was usually $70 bucks was on sale for $20. SOLD! We felt so energized by our good fortune that we slurged (if you call $4 a slurge) on the dog bucket to match. :)
