Three!!!

Here is a look at your 3rd birthday.  We had your party in the park, complete with a piñata.  Momal gave you a bike!!! For your actual birthday we had a birthday breakfast and went to the children's museum and had a picnic.  For dinner we had pizza and cake!! Daddy and I gave you a jewelry box, and your outfit and ballet slippers for your dance lessons!  Three years went by too fast.  You have made them the best three years of my life.  I love you Lila!

Dance class and being a sister

You have been taking ballet for a month.  Today you started your tap and ballet class.  In three months you will have a recital!  I am so excited to invite all your family and friends to watch you dance.  You really like to dance and say every time how happy you are to get to go to dance class.  You did so well at your first class. Paying attention almost the entire time and following the directions so well, you have adjusted to life as a big sister very well.  You are so living to Eli. Lately you want to change Eli's diaper all by yourself.  And you most do it by yourself. I help with the lifting and fastening properly.  

We have been baking more lately and making out own bread.  The process takes hours and you are always helpful with it all.  Last week we kneaded it by hand for the first time and that was fun.  

A moment in the life of you

We just had  a conversation about what you will wear while riding your bike.  A helmet (you asked me why we wear helmets, I said to protect your head) 

You said "shoes to protect your feet keep you from falling" you asked "why do we wear shorts?" "Beacause you can't ride naked" and you said "and defiently wearing a buckle" I asked you what a buckle was and who wears one.  You answer "you wear it around your waist" and as you walk our of the room you say "ill wear one when I get to ride in the street too"   And now you are back and wearing shorts and your helmet.  

Youre a big sister

Lila!! Today you became a big sister.  Eli was born at 1:36 am.  You are so so so sweet! I am looking forward to seeing you play this new role.  

Denver January 2014

We went to denver, it started out wonderful!! Good road trip, we saw snow in New Mexico and it was very exciting... You had a great time playing with Élan Pils.. We went to a cabin in winter park, we tubed a bit (well daddy pulled you in the tube) then that evening we went bowling.  Élan's mommy was sick and happened to get everyone else in the cabin sick... So we spent the next two days miserable, one day there a hug snowstorm and we watched it from bed.  After we left winter

Park we were both so sick daddy decided to take us to the hospital.  The flu, a bad bad flu bug we had.  Daddy drove us home the next day and we spent the next week and a half sick as little puppy dogs... Sadly we didn't get to do all the things we wanted or had planned but we at least got to spend time together as a family :( I didn't take too many pictures but I wanted to share the ones I did take.  We decided our

Next vacation will
