Goodbye sweet Lily!

We said goodbye to Lily this morning after fostering her for a little over a year and a half. Her birth father came to pick her up. I really thought I could keep it together and not get emotional but could not stop the tears from flowing. How can you not get emotional?? We will be able to see her once a month so that she can play with her half sister, Emily, who we are adopting. She hugged her sister goodbye and it was so cute. We love you Lily!!

Thanksgiving in Colorado

I had a wonderful visit during the Thanksgiving weekend with Rachel, Andy and Tyler. Tyler is so much fun and such a sweet, happy boy. Can't wait to find out next month if he is going to have a brother or sister! Rachel looks great and she and Andy are so cute together. I have so much to be thankful for with such a wonderful family.

Emily cruising

Emily has been standing more than sitting lately. One of these days she will just start walking. She is 1 year and 2 months old today.

Trick or Treat

The girls had fun trick or treating, especially Lily. She walked up to the doors and wanted to take the whole plate of goodies. She put her candy in her pumpkin and when we got home inspected it all. She really liked the pretzels she got. Emily was a darling pumpkin. She was a bit young to know what was going on but loved sitting by the front door with Lily anticipating the next group of kids to come to our door.

Pumpkin City 10-24-09

We took Emily and Lily to Pumpkin City yesterday. Lily had fun running around and looking at all the pumpkins, animals, rides and train. We let her ride on a pony and she loved it so much that she cried when we took her off. Emily's favorite thing to do was eat straw...Yuck!

Emily's 1st birthday party

We had a great time at Emily's 1st birthday party. Larry's family came and Emily's birth mother and her fiance. Emily loved the presents especially the wrapping. The cake was so good and Emily dug into it with no hesitation.

Lily's 2nd birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese

Lily had a great time at Chuck E. Cheese last Thursday night. She ate lots of pizza and loved Chuck E. Cheese and his show. She did not eat her birthday cake though!! She just squished it with her fork. She loved the rides the best.
