Life Happens...

Wow, yeah, I'm sorry for being so far behind on here. Little things are happening every day it seems, but internet capabilities and time just don't always allow for documentation.

Here's Lilian enjoying a bubble bath. She looks like daddy with a bubble goatee!


I tried to get some pics while we were camping recently. She just doesn't pose good. This first one is my favorite although I'm afraid you can't see her in detail. In the next picture we found a rock to pose on, still, a natural smile is a rarity on camera. I just can't seem to catch it, although it does happen!
We've recently began doing things, "by myself". Most of which still require assistance. But I'm proud of her for trying! She also got her first real black eye from running into a table. She'll tell you she had to put ice on it and then it felt better. Camping is always fun, especially since outside is involved!
We came home one day and as she was standing in the kitchen, Lilian started counting...not altogether unusual...it's very random, but she counted all the way up to 14! I know I'm the mom, but man, that's seriously genius, right?
Let me just say today that I enjoy having Lilian in my life so much! No one on earth can make me smile like she can. When I'm just at the end of my rope with her, she'll do something sweet and it just melts my heart. What power! And Oh the energy! Besides being pregnant, being pregnant with a 2 year old is doubly exhausting! I'd never trade my life for anything. As Lilian sometimes says, "I love my family".

genuine smiles captured in photographs while posing=next to impossible with my children as well!

yes, she is definitely genius!

and yes, the power our little ones hold over us...I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything in this world, although there are moments when my heart is gripped by just how much I love them and just how easily I know that one day they could shatter my heart into a thousand pieces. they bring such joy, though, don't they!

I can't imagine how tiring being pregnant and parenting a 2 year old can be. many prayers for you, my friend! :)
