Thanks to the balmy weather this past week, Lily went on a nature walk through the neighborhood with Mom and Gypsy. Lily loves to look at the birds, pick flowers, and likes to smell everything, including flowers, pumpkins and rocks - yes, rocks.
This weekend Mom and Dad went to a dinner for Grandma Phyllis so Lily got to hang with Cole and Hayley. She apparently went to bed with minimal problems - as I'm sure she was exhausted from running laps around the house with Cole and Hayley- and Mom and Dad came to pick her up a few hours later.
Sunday, we just hung around the house, played with lots of toys, and watched the Redskins get destroyed by the Colts.
Enjoy the pics!!
P.S. Lily wants to send out special birthday wishes, hugs and kisses to Dad!!
Reading some new books.
Arting it up.

Press play to see Lily in action.
Showing Gypsy and her cabbage pitch offspring how to play in the ball pit.
Where to begin? Lily had a good week at school, working on lots of fun art projects and she enjoys her music class too. We had a busy weekend here with anniversaries to celebrate (our 4th) and birthday parties to go to (Lily's classmate Gavin).
On Saturday morning we went to Gavin's 2nd birthday party where Lil got to play with Gavin and other classmates Nicholas and Jacob. A good time and lots of cake was had by all. Needless to say, messes were made with icing. I can't really remember what we did the rest of Saturday but I think that we just hung around and played with toys.
On Sunday we went to the local garden center - they were having their fall festival with pumpkin bowling, hay rides, pony rides and face painting. Lil was not so into the ponies or face painting but she liked the tractor pulling ride.
Pictures below. See you next week.
Playing with Gavin ...
and Nicholas.
Patiently waiting for some cake.
Chowing down.
In the straw maze.
Checking out the goats.
Okay, so this is not Lily but from a distance I thought it was. Plus, Lily would not get on the pony so this is what Lily would like if she was on a pony. Also, this girl's name could be Lily, we don't know for sure.
This is the second trip on the pumpkin ride. Lily was done after one go round, but Marcy just wanted to go again so Lily indulged.
An extremely busy long weekend has come to an end...
Lily had a good week at school, she completed lots of art projects and decorating for Halloween.
Friday, Lily visited with Aunt Kelly (in town for the weekend), Grandma Gail & Grandpa Tom, before heading over to Grandpa Maurice's & Grandma Phyllis' for a sleepover - Mom and Dad went to an engagement party in D.C. Lily ate well and slept well on her Dora bed. Mom and Dad picked Lil up around noon on Saturday, only to take her to Grandma Gail & Grandpa Tom's house for another sleepover - Mom and Dad went to a wedding in Leesburg. After a packed day of mainly playing inside due to the rain, Lily went to bed early, and woke up to some sunshine and outdoor play on the swing and her tricycle. Mom and Dad got back early afternoon, and hung out for the rest of the day with Aunt Kelly, and Aunt Tracy and Uncle Stan (who just got back from Germany). After a fun-filled day, we finally made our way home. Fortunately, Mom had off today, so Lily got to hang around the house and decorate for Halloween.
Can't recall if this has been reported but Lily's latest phrase is "Oh No!" whenever she sees anything out of order or wrong - she is somewhat of a drama queen. ;)
Back to school tomorrow...
Playing in the sand part of her sand and water table.
Eating some bread during a play break.
Drinking some of Aunty Kelly's water.
Coming back from the swing with Marcy.
Putting up some Halloween decorations.
Getting them just right.
Here is Lily finishing off the decorations but then realizing that Dora (the doll) has gone off exploring without her.
Busy, busy weekend. Lil finished up a great week at school and then had a nice day Friday with Marcy. They ran some errands and then prepared for Lil's big sleepover at Grandma Maurice's and Grandma Phyllis' house - Marcy and I had dinner out with friends and a show. We missed her but she apparently didn't really seem to mind that we left her. She had a great time with G & G and is looking forward to a reprise this weekend when Marcy and I are out of pocket again.
On Saturday we visited with John and MIchelle and Hayley and Cole for a birthday dinner for John. Lily had fun running around with Hayley and Cole. Then on Sunday, Marcy and I went to the Redskin's game so John and Michelle were kind enought to babysit Lil. She had a great time with them and would probably be happy to move in with Hayley. They have a great time together.
Oh, and for all the bad things I was thinking about Casio and our camera last week, I take them back. Four days after sending in the camera to be fixed, it was back in our hands and working like new. So enjoy the pics and video. Until next week.
P.S. For some addt'l Lily pics with her friends Hayley and Cole, go to www.3foldfun.blogspot.com
Intently working on a puzzle.
Marcy and I went to the Redskin's game on Sunday but Lil was all decked out.
... and it does not go on. Due to technical difficulties, we don't have that many pictures for you this week. Our camera is in the shop so we may be a bit short on photos and video for the next few weeks.
Pretty quiet week but for a short bout of diarrhea and fever. Lil stayed home from school on Thursday, and Aunt Tracy came over to babysit - they had tons of fun especially in light of the fact that it was technically a 'sick day.' :) Fortunately, Lily got over her sickness pretty quickly.
Friday, Lily had her two year appt with the pediatrician. She weighed in at 29 pounds, no pics sitting on the scale because she now stands on the scale like a big girl. Lil was not too happy to be at the pediatrician, once again - fortunately for her she is off the hook until September 2007, we are hoping it will be a more pleasant visit then.
Over the weekend, Lily kept busy with some errands, and playing with all of her toys. Hopefully we will have more pics to show next week. Have a good week!
"Do I look cute even like this?"
Playing with something ... I am not sure what that is.
