November 1 - November 7
Mama's Entry and Apology
Dan came up to visit this week. And, in all of the excitement, I forgot to call Aunt Bev and Uncle Art and wish them a "Happy 25th Anniversary" on November 3rd. So, please accept my apology as I grovel on the blog for the whole world to see! Happy 25th Anniversary!
Great Weather
It's been absolutely beautiful out here this past week but we've still had some cool mornings. I've really enjoyed outfitting Lily in her new winter outerwear.
It really wasn't cold enough to warrant a hat, but it was quite windy and Lily is not too keen about wind. Here, she's all tucked in to her car seat with a good book and a blanket that Muma made for her. She loves to poke her fingers through it.
Uncle Dan
Ray picked up Uncle Dan from the airport on Thursday afternoon and got home just in time for a post roast dinner, of which, Lily flatly refused to eat. So, Uncle Dan got to witness two stressed parents and one cranky kid on his first night. Welcome.
The rest of the weekend went a little better. Dan (who, for those of you who don't know, doesn't really like kids) was quite taken with Lily. She won over his heart. He got her up each morning (AT 7AM!). He played with her, "installed" her into her car seat (his words) and by Sunday he finally figured out how to hold her with just one hand while she sat on his hip. Here's how he was carrying her...she was a bit confused.
Orange Jacket
Here's the two of them working to get her jacket on. Dan loves orange so I had Lily put on her "Lily by Lily" gangsta jacket just for him. Getting her hands through the sleeves was one thing; you should have seen him trying to take off her jacket! Really, though, Dan was a great help to me and we had an awesome visit. I can't wait until he comes up again in the spring. Lily can't wait either. The day after he left, she went looking for him in the basement as soon as she got up. What a cutie! (And, yes, we keep our guests in the basement.)
Couch Potatoes
It's not a true visit to the Fuller household unless you watch some Baby Einstein!
Hi All,
Thank you for the wonderful Anniversary wishes, I knew you didn't forget us, we did get your card and gift on time, THANKS! We were so glad to see that Uncle Danny got to go visit. They look like they had fun together, we can't wait for our turn!!! Won't be long now, can't wait to see Lily walking in person. See you all soon!
Love Aunt Bev & Uncle Art
Hi Jennifa!
No picture of you with Danny? I'm glad that you had a fun visit. I was going to call him, and I figured I'd check my e-mail first and then I saw that you updated the site and now here I am writing to you and not calling Dan--oh-oh--two nights in a row. The pics are great, Dan looked like he had a fun time dressing Lily up for the cold weather. She looks so cute in her new winter gear. Well, I'm going to try and give Dan a ring. I miss you! I'm glad that Aunt Beveeee and Uncle Artie will be going there soon. With all this company, the time should pass fast 'til Christmas is there! I love and miss you all.
