A portrait of Lily, by Sarah.
We got to go to Sarah's birthday party today and it was great! The boys had a lot of fun playing with the cars and trains, and the girls had a lot of fun just hanging out.
As you likely know, Lily has had an interesting hairstyle pretty much since she was born. First it was sort of fuzzy, then it was all sticky-uppy, and now it's pretty long in the back (to the point where Nana is threatening with the scissors). Aunt Cathy solved everything with a simple scrunchy.
Changes her whole look, really. And makes her ever so much more like her hero, Sarah. Even Nana has sheathed the scissors for the time being.
We like the pony tail. I think we'll be doing that again.
Happy Birthday, Sarah, and thanks for the party!
... and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of. Especially these two little girls.
Liam and Lily are incredibly lucky to have four excellent lifetime friends within a short driving distance -- their cousins. What a bunch. Each child has his or her own unique look and personality, but there's no mistaking they all come from the same stock. One common thing being their love for family, which is being instilled in them by their excellent parents.
It's fun to watch the six kids interact. Liam worships Markus and will follow him anywhere. But he and Caleb share the same energy level and boyish glint in their eyes. Sarah takes care of everyone and is particularly gentle and nurturing with Lily -- the girls' club has formed already. And who could not love to hug Grant, young and old alike.
Liam can hardly contain his excitement when we tell him he will be seeing his cousins, and neither can we!
