California Dreamin'

August marked our first big trip with Lily.  Carrie's cousin Troy got married in French Camp, California, and Lily was NOT going to miss the party.  We flew to Sacramento and used the wedding as an excuse to see San Francisco and Sonoma. Lily was a champ about just about everything.  Grand-mere and PawPaw Ed traveled with us, and Lily enjoyed spending time with them.  She also enjoyed dancing with her cousins at the wedding, riding the carousel at Pier 39, and flying the kite she got at Chinatown Kite Shop.  The rest of us enjoyed vacationing on a toddler schedule - not trying to do too much, and napping every day :) 

Here's Lily on the Pier 39 carousel:

2nd Birthday party

Again, I know this is already old news, but Lily had a fabulous time at her second birthday party.  She was fortunate that, because of the holiday weekend, lots of family was in town already - and they were not about to miss this opportunity for a party!

Here's a photo of her enjoying her birthday cupcake.  Click the photo to view more pictures from the event.

Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!!

back with no promises ;)

I think we might win an award for least consistent blogging.  Here's a photo of lily taken for her 2nd birthday (yes, I know it's already 2 months old!).  Maybe, possibly, we'll post more frequently, especially now that I am once again in possession of the logon information for the blog... But I'm making no promises!
