Crazy Garden, On campus Interviews, and Climbing Baby





We have been busy busy busy lately. Kevin has been adjusting to going back to school. He has been working very hard and having lots of interviews with law firms for summer internships for next year. He is also very busy trying to keep up with his garden. The garden is over grown and requires a lot of care. We have been at war with the many neighborhood squirrels that have been eating everything that they can get their hands on. They almost ate all of our sunflower seeds.

Lily is getting really adventurous. She just learned how to climb up onto the table. Now we have to make sure all of the chairs are pushed into the table. She also pushes everything that she can to use as a stepping stool to get to where she wants. She had started throwing tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants. She is however usually easy to distract but it is a little hilarious to see her throw herself on the ground. ( We are proud of ourselves for not laughing out loud.) She talking more and also becoming more involved with other children.

I have been busy trying to keep up with Lily and trying to keep her from killing herself. That takes a lot of my time. I have also been trying to take her outside more. It is so nice to live by the school and have a play ground so close. I have been also busy with trying to keep up on the laundry for Kevin and helping him in anyway that I can. We also had the opportunity to go to Utah at the end of July and it was a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday Lily




Lily turned 1 on July 13th. She then had a wonderful time destroying the little cake that Kevin and I made for her.



We can't believe she is 1. Wow. She weighed 19lbs 8oz. Her height is 28.5 inches. So she is a little thing but she is running all over the place. Kevin and I really enjoy her.



Here she is with her cake and candle. We made cupcakes for everyone else. We frosted them with pink and yellow frosting and arranged them like flowers.




We had her favorite things to eat for dinner which include: sliced olives, sauteed mushrooms, raw green beans, barbecue chicken, and mac & cheese.
She loved it! I think it was a little weird for everyone else.
