Girly girl

Necklaces and bracelets and pretty painted toenails make Lily "so 'cited!" (her new favorite expression)

Un week-end à chasser les poules et à promener le chien chez Tata Eliane

Lily finally met Mommy's BFF and her honorary auntie Eliane over Memorial Day weekend, when we drove to visit her in NC while Daddy was in Chicago. She behaved extremely well for Mommy and had a great time, especially because Tata Eliane had some very cool new things to play with. There was a keyboard and a guitar in the guest room, so Lily jammed out every morning when she woke up and after naptime. But we spent most of our time outside, since we were out in the country and there were chickens to visit. Eliane has two roosters, three hens, and five new baby chicks, and Lily was fascinated by them. She helped her Tata collect the eggs every day and feed the babies, and she ran around the whole time screaming "Cock-doodly-dooooo!" after she heard the roosters. She was also obsessed with Eliane's tiny Yorkie Taz, who was just the perfect size for her to walk on his leash. It was a great weekend and we hope we can visit again before too long!

Congratulations Aunt Lizza!

Last weekend Aunt Lizza graduated from Wofford College, so we all took the trip to Spartanburg, SC to celebrate. We also had a visit from Mimi that week, so Lily got to enjoy having double the love and attention from both her Mimi and her YaYa during the ceremony.
