Celebration of Lily

On August 16th, our friends from Church held a party to celebrate Lily! It was such a wonderful party with delicious food, thoughtful gifts, and the nicest people. Matt's Mom and Dad drove up from LA just for the party and commented about how everyone was so sweet and genuine. A lot of people also thought of Abby which made it extra special for her. Thanks everyone!
We grabbed a quick bite to eat with Grandma and Grandpa before the party. Thank you for driving all of that way for Lily!
Check out the yummy food.

Two Adorable Girls

Check out our beautiful girls! I took them to JCPenney's to get their pictures taken because they were having a great sale and I wanted to get a 6 week picture of Lily like we did with Abby. The funny thing was that Abby and Lily almost changed personalities at the photo shoot. Usually Lily is pretty calm and easy and Abby can be more difficult to get to sit still and do what you want her to do. Abby was an angel at the photo shoot. She did everything the photographer said and was very patient with Lily. Lily kept crying and would not stay in any of the positions the photographer put her in. I had to give her a bottle and then take it out for the picture and stick it back in. We even let someone else go so that I could feed her some formula.
But we still made it and have some cute pictures to show for it.
