Valentine's Day

Lila's first sled ride.
We had her propped up in the sled with toys so that we could shovel the lane together :).

Sitting up at the table in the highchair from Grandmom and Granddaddy.  She makes eating sounds with her mouth and looks forward to her first bite of real food -- Mama's waiting to feed me at 6 months.

Watching and listening to Papa sing at church.

Grandmom, Aunt Anita, Atticus and Ada come from breakfast.  Watch out, Lila!

I love this little sweatshirt on Lila!  We spend a lot of time in sweatshirts this winter!  It's been a cold, snowy one!

This is Lila and her friend Lincoln at church, waiting in line at a fellowship meal.

Four Months Old

We went to Illinois the day after Christmas and came home on the 1st of January.  Loving time with Grandma!

New Years Day we met up with Uncle Dave, Aunt Jill cousins Bo, Gracie and Blake, Uncle Hans, and Grandma and Grandpapa at Bob Evans for Breakfast before making the long trip home.

The trip to IL. took us 13 hours (one more than normal).  The trip home was MUCH longer since we had to change travel plans to day vs. night in order to avoid a snowstorm.  I love this picture...the expressions are so true to life.  It was a long night.  Here we took a break at Tamarack in West Virginia.

Playing with Christmas toys.  Thanks cousins!  I love my ark...esp. the brown horse, which I always go for first!

Uncle Philip, Aunt Betsy and Soren hosted Christmas at their house on Chicago Ave.  It was quite a party.  We had our Chinese meal on Friday, Jan 3.  Here Granddaddy and Annaliese are preparing mangoes for sticky rice.

Christmas celebration on the 4th.

Lila loves her new doll and solar plant from her Grandparents, but the wrapping paper and ribbon were super exciting too!

Grandmom brought cousin Soren over for breakfast.  Here he is watching a video of Lila on my phone.

Lila meets our friend Fran.

Lovin my feet!

Singing in Church.  She loves to hold the hymnals and watch us turn the pages.
