Weekend Update

Lily turned 8 Months Old!!!
Every day with her gets to be even more fun. She is so funny and we can see her personality shinning through. We are constantly chasing her now. One of her favorite things to play with is a bucket of potatoes.

On Friday night we had plans to go see Wicked with our friends Mark & Jess. Unfortunately Mickey got sick, too sick to go. Poor guy. Rachel was so kind to join me on the double date at the last minute. It was a great night out with dinner at Palomino's, the wonderful show and a couple of cocktails. BUT Mickey was missed.

Saturday we let Mickey have some additional R&R. Lily and I went to Jen's with Rachel & Donella for Christmas Cookie decorating fun! Jen had everything all ready. So many cookies and so many options of decorating supplies. It was much fun.

Today I got some shopping in! Whew! I also stopped at the South Saint Paul's Lions Club Christmas Tree place. I was debating buying a sled and pulling home my tree (only 12 blocks away.) I didn't need to do that. The men working were so kind. Right away they asked me if I came with a car or a truck. Car. Then they offered to drive it home for me! How sweet!

Let's Bring on the Holiday Spirit!

Weekend Update

Wow! I am very far behind on my blogging. Sorry guys!

It was a wonderful Turkey Day weekend!

Thursday we went down to New Ulm. We has dinner at Kris & Gene's it was so nice and I was very happy to see that they had green bean casserole! YUM! We were able to spend some good time with the family, including Amy who was in town. Ann and I did some good Black Friday Shopping, starting at about 5. Later that afternoon I was able to visit a retired co-worker of mine who lives in NU. It was so great to visit with Mary. While Lily and I were out visiting - Mickey, his parents and Amy went out to a tree farm and chopped one down. It was beautiful. Lily loved watching Grandpa Gary put the lights on the tree.

Saturday we drove down to Iowa for the Waldschmidt Thanksgiving. It was a great turn out. (approx. 65???) After dinner many of us went back to the hotel, sat around the pool and enjoyed a cocktail or two. The night ended at the casino (attached to the hotel). We all had so much fun playing and laughing.

Sunday we were back at home. Mickey went to the Vikings game with the boys. Lily ended up getting sick and she still is today. I think it is a combo of a bug and some teething. Hopefully she will be back to herself soon.

It was a great weekend!

How big is Lily?????

SOOOOOOOO BIG!
(she enjoyed this new trick w/
mom, dad & Dan this weekend.)

The Lil-Mobile

Go Lily Go! Go Lily Go!

On Sunday we went to a football party with the kickball team. The highlight - for me anyway - was watching Lily take her first crawls forward! It was so exciting! The girls and I were all cheering her on. Here is a video from tonight:)

She is a mover

She is always on the go. She can't crawl forward yet, but she can scoot back and roll to where she wants to be. Lily is so much fun! We just love her!

Finally I was able to get a shot of her two beautiful teeth:)

Thank you so much Mom & Dad for the fun night out. My mom declared it "Celebrate Mickey Day" today. She came over, picked up Lily (gave her some new Wild gear) and surprised us with a date night to watch the Wild game. It was such a great day. We even got some good raking time in:) Thanks! You are the best!
