I miss the baby

Look at her...

I know that the circle of life consist of growing from a baby into a child and then a teen and then an adult. Well, Lillyana is now 2 years old. TWO! I can't believe it when I think about that. I am totally in love with the way she is right now...she is talking and having real conversation with me. But I really miss when she was this age. In this picture she was 13 months old..it was her first football game. Look at those cheeks. Sometimes I just wish I could hold her and kiss her chubby baby cheeks again. Now she is to busy playing tea party and riding her tricycle. Just for one day I want to go back in time and see her as a little baby...parents are right when they say we grow up too fast!!

age 2...

she makes me smile =]

We are so so so so busy this summer trying to get things prepped for the adoption of Miss Annie! Things are going great though..hope to have a real update with pics soon!

We call her Beautiful =]

Look at my sweet baby sister! Isn't she breathtaking, especially in the first picture. She has the most soft and girly features. I just love her chubby cheeks and her soft perfect skin. I just think that this little girl is beautiful inside and out =]

It's been awhile.

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of blogging for this long period of time. School is almost over and then I am good to go for summer! I will be back on a regular basis, hopefully! I am not working this summer because I just want free time. I feel pretty fortunate that I don't have to, all of my friends are going to be working this summer. I want to spend a lot of time with my Little Bug =] I want to be able to take her out to the pool, the park, and she would love to go to the zoo! I look forward to doing all these big sister things with her!! I really miss her during the school year, I don't see her near as much as I want to because I am always so busy. There really isn't anything new going on in Lilly's world..but we do have big news at the other blog!

Have a great week!
