Downtown Fun

Lily Grace joined friends Claire, Elliot and Blake for some downtown fun. The kids enjoyed lunch and a downtown trolley ride. We all had so much fun!!

Mary Poppins

Lily Grace adores the movie Mary Poppins as well as the songs from the movie. As many of you know, she also LOVES dress-up. She is quite resourceful and imaginative when it comes to her outfits. She recently put together this Mary Poppins ensemble complete with coat (yes, it's her bathrobe), skirt, hat, scarf, knitting bag and umbrella and ran around the house and backyard singing "Chim Chim Cher-ee."
Too cute!

Birthday Blessings!

Today is officially my 34th birthday. (To all of you rubbing your head, come on.... I have the cake below to prove it.- ha!) Matt and Lily Grace kicked the celebration off this weekend. They went shopping together and Lily Grace picked out some lovely gifts for me (and herself, poor Matt didn't stand a chance). They also baked and decorated me a cake. We enjoyed it for dessert following my favorite meal which they prepared for me.
Today, Matt took off from work today. (It may be my birthday but it IS the day he became eligible for his phone upgrade and he and the iPhone 4 are becoming fast friends.) Before that much anticipated trip to the Apple Store, Matt read to Lily Grace's preschool class. It was "silly sock" day at school and Matt being the awesome dad that he is, joined right in. He sat wearing a brown and a white sock and read Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. You are truly one in a million daddy.
After some shopping, we enjoyed lunch out and a wonderful afternoon of family fun.
I am so blessed. I have a wonderful family to celebrate and share special days with, who always make me feel special, no matter the day. I am blessed knowing that my Heavenly Father loves me unconditionally and has blessed me with all that I have, all that I am and all that I celebrated today.
Thanks so much to everyone who has called, emailed, sent text and cards. I am blessed by you also.
