Lily's First Beach Trip

Lily's first Sunday at church. We decided that we needed to take this cute four generation picture. Aren't we cute?

On Tuesday we decided that it was supposed to be a be-yoo-ty-ful day at the beach, and since we haven't really made it to the beach this year, we headed out. I finally convinced Jesus that he needed to take his shoes off and dip them in the water. It felt sooooo good! Lily didn't get to dip her toes. We thought it would be rather cruel to dip her toes in the icy water while she was sound asleep.

While we were walking along the water, we noticed this sea lion just out in the surf. We think it was trying to figure out why its (dead) buddy on the beach wouldn't come back and play. (I spared you the 14 pictures that Jesus thought we needed of its dead buddy)

What a cute family! Look, she's even awake!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Okay, so his birthday isn't until the end of the month. But his favorite band, Blink 182, decided to reunite and go on tour again, and I thought he needed to go to the concert for his birthday. While I'm so jealous and really wanted to go, it's kind of hard to do with a 2 week old. Especially since the concert venue is 3 hrs away. So I called up his brother and said "Hey, take Jesus with you when you go to the concert, but don't tell him about it". Of course, after we bought the tickets, they added the local stop to their tour. Oh well, too late now.

The original plan was to get him to go to his brother's house "to play video games" and then they'd take off from there and not tell him where they were going. But I decided that since it was my idea and my surprise, I wanted to see his face when he found out what was going on. So before he went to his brother's, I told him that he should stop by the bank and get some money out because he wasn't going to go play video games, he was going to the Blink concert. He was so surprised, the look on his face was priceless. He didn't believe me at first, but it finally sunk in. It was so great!

So Lily and I have been on our own since he left at about noon. I'm thinking it'll be a long night until Jesus gets home. I don't know how single moms do it. So far, I'm really glad that I have such a supportive and loving husband! I couldn't do this day after day without him!

More Pictures

Just arrived home from the hospital. Daddy's a little excited to be home with his little girl.



Chica has been such a good dog with the baby. She is rather curious, but doesn't lick Lily, just sniffs. Which I'm very happy about.

We got a Pack 'n' Play from my parents, and it's been so nice to have downstairs. It has a changing table and a bassinet attached. It saves us from having to run upstairs everytime she needs to be changed and every time she falls asleep and we're too hot to hold her. That kid is such a heater!! I love this picture because it shows her tiny little dimples.

This picture is so stinkin' cute! It's her "Feed me Mama!" face. I just love it!

Cousin Riley is facinated with his new little cousin. He gets so worried when she cries and will sit there and watch and watch and watch her.
