Baby Lilly Comes to Visit

It was a very busy weekend - with wall-to-wall beds and blankets - when Michael, Tara, Lilly (also known as Lillers, Willa, Lillian Blythe - when her mother is frustrated at her antics, and Boo), Sadie and Eustace (Michael's two BIG chocolate Labradors) showed up to take part in Kaytee's "What Women Want" home party! We were in Las Vegas with Stan and Diane Blackett when Michael called to say they were on the highway . . . and where were we? It was fun to have them for a visit, though Tara had a bride to fit with a wedding dress she is making. Michael and I had some good conversation about the economy (his field of study) and his work (or lack thereof, although he assures me he is doing OK and they are able to stay ahead of the bills).

It was so much fun to have Lilly around. At 21 months old (her birthday is April 9), her parents and doctor say she has a large head for her age, but she is not even on the charts for her weight she is so teeny! But for one so small (The Small One, her mother calls her), she has an enormous vocabulary which allows her to get what she wants in life. While everyone was at Kaytee's party, those of us who had already expended our budgets for candles, baby gifts, vinyl lettering and hostess gifts, gathered up Lilly and Taisley and headed over to the park. It was packed with kids, but Lilly couldn't have been happier. Later, back at Grandma's house, she discovered a secret hiding place in the entertainment center in the living room. Such fun!
