O.K. I get the message. I realize it's been a few weeks sense we've hung out on the ole blogspot, but not much has changed. Besides being able to walk, carry on a conversation, and sport curls, Lily is virtually the same little girl she was the last time you saw this blog.
Now, although that's not entirely true, life does continue to slowly and methodically move forward. I find myself sitting here wondering where the summer went? It seems every weekend was packed with some type of adventure-riddled activity that left us with fantastic memories and a great case of sleep deprivation. For example, last week Dylan and I spent a weekend in the swamps of Louisiana sharing some serious father / son time. We canoed with alligators, swam with beavers, chased armadillos, snagged a catfish and provided the local mosquito population with a generous donation of blood. Shauna, Micah and Lily decided to make a quick trip to Memphis to help Aunt Rebecca settle in to her new apartment.
So, here we sit saying adios to summer (101 degrees) and hello to a new school year. Lily celebrated her big 4 month b-day last week and she is without question growing like a ... weed? nah, she's growing more like a turnip. Her fat cheeks are more kissable everyday. No matter what time of day it is, or what mood you may find yourself in, when she flashes that big toothless milk-eatin' grin at you... you simply run as fast as you can and get yourself some slobbery sugar. I don't know what it is but life just seems a little sweeter after that. Her arms and legs are starting to get that Michelin-Man-You-Can-Roll-a-Rolo-Malt-o-Meal look that works so well on Lily; but, not so much on me. She smiles all the time. Loves to chuckle. Not a big fan of oatmeal. Recognizes her family. Drools often. Sings every morning. and loooovvvvveeeesss her mama!
Sally (Shauna's mom) made this dress for Stephanie (Shauna's sister) 29? years ago. I think there are photos of both Steph and Shauna in this dress.
