I've got competition

Phil used to bring me lilies, but it looks like I'll be fighting Lily for them in the future. Check out what her Dada brought her for her 6 month birthday. Isn't that so sweet? I think she likes him.

Days Until I'm Six Months Old

Snow Angel

I was surprised to see that Lily really noticed the snow coming down outside the window and she seemed to enjoy watching it. It literally snowed all day long, and I feel like we're in Colorado, not Texas! Phil e-mailed me that his office would be closing early, so I told him to hurry home so I could get some pictures of him with Lily playing in the snow. We all had fun, except for Dodger, who is a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to all things cold or wet.

Lake Day

Yesterday the little miss was a rotten napper, and we were both going stir crazy so I buckled her in her car seat and we went to White Rock. We don't often go there without our bikes or to run, so I grabbed my camera to take some pictures. It sure was cold with the wind coming off of the water, and Lily decided that she would rather give in and take a nap than be outside. But it was nice to get out of the house and enjoy the first sunny day in a while! When it is warmer I think I'll make an effort to take the jogging stroller out there for a run or walk.

Sew Sweet

I would really like to make better use of my sewing machine (and by that I mean use it all) so I decided that I would try something simple to get back into the swing of it. I bought a shirt for Lily in the dollar spot at Target, and I had some fabric scraps to pair with it, so I decided to attempt adding a skirt to the shirt to make it a little dress. My stitching leaves much to be desired, but for something she'll wear a couple of times in the next two weeks, I think it turned out pretty cute. Next week I want to attempt a couple of cute skirts for her.
