Miscellaneous Lily Shots

Here a bunch of different Lily shots that Lindsay snapped over the past couple of weeks. The one's with the scarves are from music class.

Rod, Alicia, Molly and Abby came for a visit October 11-15. We fed the Notre Dame ducks, walked around campus (including an up-close and personal visit with the cheerleaders and leprechaun) hit a cider mill, the beach and a football game. It was a great time! The girls had an absolute blast together. Lily is still calling nearly all babies that she sees 'Abby'.

Margo's Visit

Margo came out to spend the weekend with Lily and me October 5-8 while Corey went to deer camp for Jon's bachelor party. We had a blast! We went to Shipshewana for some shopping (note Lily below trying to buy 2 big bags of candy that she could hardly carry, and we rode in an Amish carriage pulled by Buddy the horse. Margo stenciled the dining room which looks incredible!

17 Months

Lily looks like so grown up in these photos! This is the backyard in our new home in South Bend. [October 5, 2007]

The Altman Visit

Mike, Tammy and Will Altman came for a visit September 27 - 29. We had a blast! As you can see below, Lily and Will fell right back in step. They enjoyed a bath together, a trip to the cider mill, and visit to the Warren Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan.

Underwear Necklace

Lily went through a phase where she liked to put her head through the leg hole of as many pairs of underwear (clean underwear) as she could. On this particular night, she toppled into the bathtub head first and needed her mom to help her out due to the weight of all the wet undies. I guess you had to be there. [September 10, 2007]

Feeding Ducks at Notre Dame

Lily loves to feed the ducks at Notre Dame...and the ducks love Lily! They actually will eat right out of your hand. This has become a weekly event. [September 9, 2007]

Lily and Lindsay

Lily's new nanny Lindsay brought over her new puppy Faye for the day. Lily really enjoyed it! [September 15, 2007]

Visiting Cousins

We all headed to Michigan to see Lily's cousins Natalie and Julia's first soccer game, and for her daddy to run with her uncle Troy and some other in Dances With Dirt - a grueling 62 mile run where 5 runners each took turns running 4-6 mile lets through mud, rivers, and hills. [September 8, 2007]
