Snuggly fun!
Our neighbor gave us this giant teddy bear…Lilah loves it. She crawls all over it and snuggles it, it’s so cute.

The "cry" face...
Lilah looked so much like Vivianne when she was born, now as she grows up, she’s getting more of her “own” look. One thing, though, that is still so incredible to me, is they both share the same “cry” face. I swear to you, when I see or hear Lilah cry it is like watching my first born all over again. The big crocodile tears, the way their mouth wrinkles up just before the waterworks begin, it’s ALL the same, the exact same! I took this picture today and as I was looking at it I just laughed, not at Lilah, but just at the fact that she looks like a mini twin of her sister when she was Lilah’s age.
PS: We were making cupcakes for Thomas…he gets home today after being gone all week! We can’t wait to see him :-)
Lilah pulled up!
Lilah pulled up to a standing position, although it was brief, she willingly stood on those two feet of hers :-)
Summer Fun
Here are a few pictures taken during our most recent visit with the MN Kerstens and our trip to the Wisconsin Dells.
Lake Forest Days Parade, 2010
Vivianne, Lilah and I walked in the Lake Forest Days Parade to support the Drop-In Center this morning! Vivianne had a blast handing out candy. It was so much fun to watch her. She thought she was such a super star. There was a big turnout, despite the early morning showers and extremely hot temperatures. Lilah slept in the stroller the whole way :-)

Lake Forest Days Carnival, August 2010
“You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around—and why his parents will always wave back.”—William D. Tammeus.
