First Solo Flight

Ok, so not really solo - but not holding on to stationary furniture or on to Mommy or Daddy's hands.  We are hoping for a more steady walker for her birthday - one that doesn't tip over so easily - then the real walking can begin, maybe on the new patio.  It won't be happening in the new playroom - we are still waiting after 3 weeks for the windows to come in - so if you are here for her birthday party, please avert your eyes from the construction zone.

First beach trip

She did so great. 7.5 hours in the car and not one tear. Here's shots in the car, shots at Dobbs BBQ, at a gas station in Port St Joe and then at our house in Cape San Blas. Check out the curls. Lilys hair loves the FL humidity.

Playing and Surfing

A couple shots of Lily and her daddy playing before bedtime.  Here's also a shot of Bandit surfing the web.  We have told him time and time again about not sharing too much on his Facebook page, but he'll post just about any vague comment just to get people to ask him what is up.  He's one those people. 

Such a bad dog

Billy is working so hard to make my backyard beautiful before Lily's Princess Birthday celebration.  Well, you can see tonight, when Lily and I went to look at the garden, that Gracie is trying to add her own flair to the yard.  I would rather she not help us out on that front.  As the pictures progress today, I guess Lily has decided a dog's life is not so bad.  She has started to love hanging out in Gracie's bed and is fairly fond of Gracie's bone too.  My little princess will be 11 months old tomorrow.  Such a big girl, and such a bad dog. 

Hanging with Ryan

Here's Lily hanging out with Ryan at Zach's birthday party.  We didn't get to stay for cake.  Lily wasn't feeling well, and Billy was tired.  Apparently the tired was my fault. I think maybe we all need to get in some better shape.

Looking Good

Grass seed is down.  Hay is spread.  Grass prob won't take til fall, but that's ok.  The steps are almost done - don't they look good?  The deck is all set.  Things are really starting to come together.  Ready for work to start on the sunroom. 

Week 4

Today marks the beginning of week 4.  The patio is done, so today, the fence got put back together and most of the supports on the deck got poured and set the correct way - that's good since the deck was falling.  This week the new steps on the deck should be finished and the yard work should begin.  We are hopeful the sunroom will get walls this week, so that Gracie can go outside during the days again.
