Happy Friday to all

We had a busy day today starting off with taking Lily for a visit to see her parents for two hours this morning at the Social Services building in Orange.  Lily's mom was falling asleep in the chair during part of the visit......guess she had a rough night!  Lily got real tired and whiny towards the end and her dad said to me that she was wet but did I think maybe we shouldn't change her because she would just continue to cry if we did? Hello???????? I had to explain that if she is wet then she needs to be changed.  So I plopped her down on the blanket that I bring for her to play on and changed her so that she would be dry for the ride home. After Lily took a nice long nap at home we took her to the Irvine Spectrum.  We visited the Carter's outlet and a specialty baby store that was so cool.  We decided to have dinner at Red Robin.  As Larry and I gobbled down our meal, Lily was very loudly doing her new impersonation of a lion.  Needless to say the older people at the the table next to us thought it was NOT funny. Where is their sense of humor for goodness sake? I thought it was hysterical and I joined in with Lily and became a lion too. Next time I will take her on the merry go round that they have there.  We had a great time and will go back again soon.

Our current foster baby, Lily.

Doesn't she look like a Cabbage Patch doll?  She started crawling the second day that we had her. Now she is pulling herself up on furniture, etc.  She is nine months old and a good baby most of the time.  She smiles so much. 

I owe a big thanks to my daughter, Rachel. for getting me started with this blog.  I had been scared to attempt it on  my own for so long.  I feel so "state of the art" now! Hopefully we can update everyone on some of our family news from time to time now.
