Soccer & Swimming Saturday

We have a busy fall ahead of us!  Lily is enrolled in tot soccer and taking swimming lessons at the local Y.  So far, we've had a lot of fun! Lily is working her listening and paying attention to her coaches at soccer (and also using her feet!) and is a SUPERSTAR at swimming.  She is afraid of nothing and has the biggest splashes, loves to float and just really enjoys being in the water.  Check out the pictures and video below!

Just Beachy

We've just returned from a wonderful last minute mini-vacation to Manasquan, NJ. We had a great time and the weather was just perfect. We spent one day on the Point Pleasant Boardwalk, riding fun amusement park rides and playing arcade games and spent the next day at the beach. We also worked in a few walks and a visit to a great playground too. We couldn't have asked for more.

Passing time before our seafood dinner, checking out the boats. And yes, Lily is sporting her PSU outfit to cheer on the Nittany Lions!

Counting boats, Lily style: "One, two, three, four, EIGHT, ELEVEN, THIRTEEN!"

Fun Videos

Life is good at Lily's house.  We have a few fun videos to share this week. 

Lily caught a cough this week and has been taking cough medicine, which she really likes.  Mom and Dad found this really cute...here she is mimicking how you should take your cough medicine.  She then proceeds to stuff her mouth with a waffle.  :)
Video: Gulp, gulp, gulp!!


From Labor Day weekend, on our way home from the Zoo, Lily serenaded us with her ABC medleys.

Labor Day Visitors!

We had a lovely weekend with Grandma, Pap Pap, Aunt Krissy and her pup, Simone, who all came to visit.  We had a fun time playing outside, visiting the Philly Zoo, eating authentic Philly cheese stakes from Pat's and playing in the rain.  Scroll down for a great video of fun in the rain!

Lily woke up and dressed herself on Friday morning!

We went and swam at Anderson's house on Friday morning.  The water was cold but we had fun.  Later that day, Anderson became a big brother - 3 weeks earlier than anticipated! Congratulations!
