Christmas 2009

The kids were excited to get presents and excited to get more presents (here they are, getting ready to leave for Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa Baileys)

My little princess

William called me into the kitchen for this surprise- he picked this bib out all on his own!

The Monkey & the Chicken

The kids testing out their halloween costumes

Lillian's first haircut (and William got one too)

Before
During AfterWilliam


Lillian's first haircut was Saturday, September 26th. She did really well with it... and gosh is she cute :o)

Lillian is ONE!

Happy birthday to our beautiful little girl! Lillian, you are everything a mommy could want in a daughter. I'm absolutely sure no sweeter baby could ever exist(William is pretty close though). Your sweet smile and cute little giggle... the way you squeal when you spot some sweets across the kitchen... the way you give your daddy kisses.... You are sunshine and happiness and WE LOVE YOU!

Frank McCourt - RIP

I remember reading only one book where upon finishing it, I turned right back to the front page and started over. Angela's Ashes is that good. Later I read 'Tis and Teacher Man and liked them almost as well. How he dealt with so many tragedies and difficulties I can't even imagine, and all with such humor and strength. Today is a sad day for sure. Rest in peace Mr. McCourt. You will be missed.

Mother's Day

We had a great Mother's Day (I think my posts are getting out of order!) at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Our friend Roy was playing music and it was a beautiful day~ Thought I'd put a few pictures here. After we got home I got to be lazy and Josh cooked a delicious dinner :o)
