Lilly

Where do I begin with Lilly?  The last few days have been very reflective for me. At Mass this morning I just kept thanking our Dear Lord for Lilly.  Sometimes it takes big things to push us ahead to keep us growing.  Can't say that I've "learned" to trust God, but she was a great lesson how beautiful it can be to abandon our own plans and lean completely on His.

Happy Birthday to our Little Lilly!

 Really. Someday I'll relearn how to upload video.  And then you can all be bored to death with such things like watching a 1 year old open gifts.  Get excited ;)

She loves the antennas on this little thing!  Mo has the larger version, so when she finally got this out of the bag she smashed her face in it and got totally excited!

Murphy is explained in photo below, but he even got a spot on the cake!  Go Grandma!

We named the pink bear Murphy (Thanks Ava!).  She is so sweet with him.  As soon as I lay her in her bed she reaches for him and snuggles him.  It explains the nasty spit up smell Murphy has acquired.

The highchair is usually good for at least a couple of leftovers.  She is usually stuck under it.

We find her here several times a day.  

She snuck a piece of salmon, and I couldn't believe that she loved it!

Her usual spot.  Dork.
