Happy Turkey Day!

We hope all of you had a wonderful holiday! We sure did. Here are some photos from our day.

Lily's shirt says "Thankful for Mommy and Daddy." Grandma Cross bought it for her. Thank you, Grandma.

Me and my pumpkin pie!Anson and his sweet potato pie.
Yea, for Turkey Day!

Great Grandma Hicks and baby girl.

Lily's Last Day with her Boyfriend

Lily and Zack's last official day together. But not to worry because Jen and I are already making plans to go to Tower City with the little tykes and the big tykes in early December.


Zack does really well sitting up on his own. Lily is almost there, but she still needs some support.

Lily was looking at the puppy who was outside on the porch. Anson and I think Zack looks a lot like Jen in this photo.

Lily's Half Birthday!

Today Lily is 6 months old! I can't believe it. Time is flying and she is growing so quickly. Her newest thing is to grab at anything and everything she can get her little fingers on, including ears, noses, earrings, necklaces and her Daddy's glasses. She is also eating more "solid foods" these days - applesauce, pears, oatmeal and bananas. I bought her some squash to try too. She also screams a lot...she's a loud girl and she always has a lot to say. She is also getting much more mobile. If you place her on the floor, she'll roll over and back and over and back until she makes her way to the other side of the room. She's quick. She does the army crawl but no real crawling yet. Soon though, I imagine.

Lily has been hanging out with her Grandma Cross the last few days. They are having some much needed bonding time together.

Tomorrow is the last day with Zachary for awhile. Jen's step mother-in-law is going to watch Zack on Tuesdays from now on. We'll still have to get together a lot so that Lily and Zack and have play dates. I'm sure Lily will miss her boyfriend every week.

You might ask "how do they get her to smile like that?" Well, the secret is to have Anson hide behind me and pop up and say "boo." She loves that and always laughs!

One More Day - Thank Goodness!

I can't wait to see you tomorrow, Babe. I love you and have missed you soooooo much. Hurry home to us, but be safe.


This pic below was at my mom's house today. This is Lily's little walker that Grandma and Grandpa bought for her to have at their house. Isn't she such a little princess? This picture shows her orneriness - she got that from her Daddy!

About the videos

In order to watch the videos, you can do 1 of 2 things. If you click the play icon, it will seem like it is not going to play, but what it is doing is actually loading the entire video before it will play. I have had to wait between 3-5 minutes while in my hotel room for the entire video to load before it would play. The 2nd thing you can do is right click on the video itself and then choose "Save Target As..." You are then going to actually download the video to your computer to watch it. That also takes about the same amount of time. Give it a try...they are worth the watch!

Sour Pears
