Think the Music from Jaw's......

Duh, duh...... duh, duh,duh,duh,duh....... Lila started to walk on her own this week and our lives have been permanently altered. The Jaw's music is appropriate. I had always thought that we would have enjoyed that special moment when Lila, in my arms would walk over to Jill and we would all collectively celebrate. Well, it didn't quite happen that way. The REAL story is she was standing, holding on to our coffee table and spotted some candy in Jill's hands a couple feet away. Instead of asking for it, to our amazement, she decided to walk over to take it herself... we were flabbergasted... oh well, we will try to get some video to this site of her walking on her own but curently she is not cooperating. In the meantime, check her out showing off to Jill's friends Maggie and Megan. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday Lila

Our daughter celebrated her first birthday this past Tuesday. We enjoyed cake and a candle, it was a hoot and you can tell by her face she enjoyed the cake. Other big news this week is she received multiple, awesome presents so thanks to all - she has been very busy working riding ponies, carrying her purse, and playing on the farm. Enjoy.

St. Patrick's Day Fun

We had a great time yesterday as the weather was perfect for St Patrick's Day. As you can see below we spent it up at Chief O'Neill's eating Irish Breakfast (Bacon and Eggs :)) and drinking Guiness. Disclaimer: We did not allow Lila to drink beer. We came back to the house and on our front steps was a surprise gift from an unnamed source (we have idea's on this person's identity so THANKS). It's a pink VW Beetle... so we spent the next hour pushing her around the neigborhood. Enjoy the pictures!

"I've got to believe it's getting better"

"Getting better, all the time...."

To quote Paul McCartney....check out the pictures, outside of some cranky moments, all is good.

Thanks for all the cards, gifts, warm wishes... it ALL helps make us smile.

Lila's LONG week

Lila went in on Wednesday to have her fixator removed and a pin placed in her arm. The procedure went great and aside for a couple rough days in the hospital, is doing great. One funny moment was right before she went in for surgery Lila sat right in the middle of the pre-op room and cracked up the hospital staff with her funny faces and unique scooting around, nobody believe that a small kid with a fixator on her arm could move that quick.....Check out the pictures of the before and after. We are camped out in the house weekend just laying low and Lila is in great spirits. Many thanks out to everyone for their kind words of support. Enjoy!
