Getting Sandy

What a strange week of weather it has been for us. For a few short days it felt like we were living in Colorado with the random changes we have had. Monday last week brought snow and Thursday last week brought 81 degree heat. Go figure. We didn't do much when it snowed, but we enjoyed the summer day a whole lot!


Grace and I decided that we needed to take the babies to the park for some fun. Jancsi looked so cute in his little shortalls and Lily was having a ball in her rolled up jeans and bare feet.



The swings still remain Lily's most favorite place, and when she is not swinging, she loves, loves, loves people watching. She is simply enamored with what everyone else is doing.



Grace and I, after much consideration, decided to attempt playing in the sandbox. Lily kept her distance at first, but once I gave her a little shovel, she discovered how fun it actually is to play in the endless supply of sand.



Needless to say after a few minutes in the box, we had sand everywhere. She had so much fun that she didn't want to leave.


She has really taken to the walking thing too. She does take a few steps on her own here or there, but her absolutely most favorite thing to do these days is to walk holding on to Mom and/or Dad's hand. She will literally go into her room, find some shoes (preferably the squeaking ones) and point outside. We have started to make a habit out of going outside and letting her journey around the cul-de-sac.


She practically pulls one or more fingers out of the socket while traipsing up and down the road, but we just love the time with her and her walking excitement. She has so much fun with this, that when we pick her up to take her inside she points and leans and squirms to get down on her little feetsies.

Lily also loves to visit Dewey. Dewey is our next door neighbor's doggy.


He is such a sweet boy who seriously cannot control his licker and has mad jumping skills. Lily just adores him and every time we walk out of the house she points over to the fence and says, "dooo." Dewey is a hard one, so Doo it is. She just loves him and I let her enjoy every moment with him now that Rocky is no longer around.

Bob has really become such a special part of her life.


I will tell you, Lily loves me a lot, but on the weekends, I play second fiddle to the almighty Daaaaaadee. Oh Boy does she love him. I really love seeing the transition because I know that it makes Bob feel so special. What a sweet time in our lives.
