Sorry for the major delay in posts....life really has not been that crazy! As you can see, Lily has been busy trying on Mommy's shoes, and taking cat naps on her favorite living room pillow!
Anyway, the last few weeks this month have been great. We were able to go to the Montgomery County Fair and see all the cute big and little animals.
Lily loved looking at the cows, piglets, sheep and goats! This last weekend we went to the Maryland Renaissance
Fair. In Ryan's words is was a little weird, but entertaining! Weird because people are encouraged to dress up in Renaissance garb...and some people took it to the extremes! I wonder, what Renaissance women wore leather halter tops and miniskirts with fairy wings?
Anyway, it was great for people watching and the food was delicious! The highlights were definitely the elephant ride, the apple dumpling, and the pork pockets! Yummy.
Lily is getting so big and is trying so hard to talk and talk and talk. She now says "thank you" and jabbers on and on to us very seriously and with great intent. It is the cutest thing ever.
She has not drank out of the toilet lately (thank goodness). Enjoy the photos and I promise to be better about posting more often!
After a long break from blogging, I'm back in the game. So, today we heard that the bailout plan was rejected, and basically our economy is falling apart all around us.
I am not much of an economist at all, but I have tried to pay attention to all the news since I am an adult these days :) As the world is filled with worry, angst, confusion, contention, etc. I am reminded that I have a little daughter who needs me to live in the moment with her. She is oblivious to all that is going on, and I envy her. The innocence and joy that exudes from her beautiful smile is such a reminder to me that someone else is in charge. I am incredibly blessed to have my little Lily to keep me having the right perspective on life. 
Keep calm and carry on, right Liz? I'd like to add to that two other words, Keep calm, carry on, love Lily. Enjoy this perspective on life!
