Late Love

Even though Valentine's Day (or "Celebration of Life Day" in our house) has passed, I wanted to do a little post about love.  Here are a few things I love:

1. Thursdays. Why? Because Adam only has one more day of work and I get to dream about all the fun things we will do over the weekend together.

2. Lily when she wakes up from her nap.  She is so happy and silly.  Plus lately she has been waking up clapping.  Seriously. And her hair is all crazy.

3. Adam.  Even though he does a few things he thinks are funny, but that I find slightly annoying I love him!!!

4. Apartment searching. Strange I know. We still have one more year here in this great house, but I can't help looking at all the options we have in California when we move!

5. Top Chef.  Makes me want to go to cooking school every time I see an episode.

6. Sprout TV. Yes. Bad mother. I am trying to teach my daughter to watch TV so I can get something done.  Anything done! Lily doesn't love it.

7. The Village at downtown Claremont.  I walk up there all the time.  It is just so cutesy.

I love a lot more than that, but this will suffice for my love list!

Moves Her Body Like a Cyclone

Lily has started dancing.  At least I think that is what she is doing.  We call it "getting low."  Here's why.

Yes. She has got the moves. Rhythm? We're working on it.

January

January flew by.  After our little Palm Springs hiatus, we got the sad news that Adam's Grandpa passed away.  So, we headed back up to Vegas and spent a few days for the funeral with family.  Glade was a great man and he will be missed.

After getting back to California we took a day trip down to Newport Beach and let Lily see the sand and ocean.  It was a little chilly, so we didn't go down to the water, but walked around Balboa and looked at fun shops and enjoyed the day!

Lily was tuckered out after all the walking and fun!

For those who don't know, Lily started walking right after Christmas and now is a pro! She walks everywhere and gets into everything! Her hair is getting so long - but not quite enough for a ponytail, so she basically looks like a ragamuffin 50% of the time.

On another happy note, Adam passed all his CPA tests (there were 4 miserable parts) so hooray for having him back in our lives and not spending all his time working and studying.
