Lily Mae Turned Two in December

On December 8th Lily turned two! We had a very low key Birthday get-together for her, since Layla and I had only been home from the hospital for 24 hours. I can't believe how big she has gotten this past year. She has learned to walk, run, jump, sing, talk, use a fork and spoon, and tell us she loves us. It been a busy year for Lily! She became a big sister, moved into a new home, traveled to Rome and Venice, swam in her new pool all summer to name a few events. Here are some additional pictures of her party.

Back to the Blog

Okay, it's been 6 weeks since I've had Layla and I am in a groove finally and ready to get the blog caught up. Tommy has add pics of some events since December 1st, but I am going to take this week to add a lot more updates and pictures. I am also going to steer away from photo slide shows and post each picture individually. If we ever want to print the blog out in a book type format, we will need each picture to appear in the blog directly. I think it will be easier to enjoy each picture posted this way.

So, first and foremost, we had a Baby! Tommy posted the pictures of Layla Shae moments after delivery. Here are some of the photos from the rest of our hospital stay.

New Years 2010

This year we went to the 121st Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA for New Years. The weather was perfect at 71 degrees and sunny. It was Lily and Layla's first parade. Both girls enjoyed the floats, the bands, and the flowers. Happy New Year everyone!
