Happy 2nd Birthday Lily!

Translation of Lily: "happy birthday, happy birthDAY, oh thank you, (UNKNOWN) oh sorry mommy."

I cannot believe that we have had Lily for 2 years. It really does go by fast, sad to say. She is awesome!

Lily chills with the Edelsteins for a nice Saturday lunch.

For the first part of their date, Jake looked lovingly at Lily while they watched some tv (well actually the computer)....



Then some lunch al fresco on their new deck. "Show us your chocolate chip cookies!" Sadie was the only one that got that command. (Note: I am sure they are finding pieces of Lily's cookies all over. Yikes.)



Sadie and Jake waiting for Lily to get up the stairs. Eventually she did and then they all screamed and jumped up and down. It was actually pretty hilarious.



Then Jake put his moves on again by letting Lily win "Ready, Set, Go!"



We are about to leave so Jake makes his move!


All joking aside, it is funny how the two of them play and Sadie and Lily are extremely polite but almost weary of each other. The Maine trip this summer where we all are renting a house will solidify their friendship! I cannot wait to see all the kids play, very fun!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mommy had a great day on Mother's Day. Or as Lily called it...Happy Mommy. Which was so true. Here are some pictures before we went to lunch at Mommy's favorite place...Cactus Cantina or as the family likes to call it.."Mexi".

By the way, we are absolutely loving the new deck and Treks was the way to go for sure. Fun for barefoot dance parties!

Ice, Ice, Lily

OUTSIDE!!

It is amazing how much kids like being outside and how that makes a kid so happy..not to mention the parents. The weather has been so good the past few weeks, I thought I would put some pictures of some of the stuff we have been doing....

Some days, just looking really stinking cute....

......... just drawing with my new chalk.....

.....attending the Earth Day Festival at the mall.....


....picnicking at the mall while ignoring Marin....

....climbing a tree.....

.....hide and seek using Daddy's legs while standing in a frisbee, of course...

....proving we in fact DO stuff that is touristy in DC...



Ahhh, we sure are lucky!

Making Easter Eggs....

We had a great day making eggs on Saturday. Lily sort of got it but was mostly thinking it is weird to have newspaper covering our table. Grandma and Papa came down for the holiday and she couldn't be happier!

This picture cracks me up...Daddy and Papa's concentration faces on!
This is Lily laughing and having fun...
