ABLT - alibillylilytate

Lil and I are on our own for a few nights this week - mom is in Orlando rubbing elbows with the type of people who go to Orlando (whomever that may be). Meanwhile, back at Crofton Farm, the kid and I are eating fried chickens and yogurt! Mom, if you're reading this, wash your elbows.

We went to the neighborhood park May 8th. Lily had fun at the playground. We then went to the pool to see how cold the water was. Lily ran straight into the kiddie pool and fell completely underwater. It was cold. We went home. Unfortunately, we have no photographs of the wet and cold child, nor the paniky mother, nor still of the slightly agitated father. No doubt, those photographs would be much more amusing than the modest collection we have to offer.

Looks like whatever they are watching is very interesting.

So when I picked up Lily today, her hair was up. Her teacher said they had played with squirt guns. I just took her hair down and viola. I think any respectable 80's hair band would be jealous of this hair. She definitely has her daddy's hair.

I had to take down the drumstick post because I forgot the pictures. After tonight it looks like any chicken on the bone is Lily's favorite. Leg, wing, whatever.

These are some shots from Boot's camera.  I really love that he got some of Billy taking pictures of Lily.  "The man behind the camera" shots.  

A couple of videos of Lily and Billy's favorite game.  We like to call it "Hide and go scare the begeezus out of Lily."  She loves to have him scare her.  Gracie gets all crazy during the game too.  We aren't sure if she is jealous, or if she doesn't like Billy scaring her baby.  This was taken yesterday before the 2 of them came down with the Spring flu.  Apparently I gave it to them or something like that.  Oh, and we found out today - at the Dr, that my rash is not a rash - it is shingles.  Awesome!!

The festivities began early here at home and then we were off to the yacht club for brunch with Hackie and Boot and Lyt, Heather, Jack and Alex and Parraine Ron and Nannan Beverly. It was a very nice day. Then dad went to Lowe's.

We started today with swim lesson #3.  Lily has learned to jump, or scoot, off the side into the water.  We are very proud.  Then we went to the school carnival.  Lily was afraid of the horses and the train.  Things in the past she has loved.  We may stop going until she is older.  She did love fishing, which made Daddy proud.  We end today's photos with a shot of my leg and the rash.  It is all over my leg and we have no clue what it is - and luckily it came 7 days ago with a horrible cough.  I am super lucky that way.
