Helping out in the kitchen is her newest thing. We made bread this past weekend while Cory was out of town....lots of flour made its way to every nook and cranny of our kitchen.

we're back!

Hiya friends and family! Life is just trucking along down here in H-town. We're busy, Lilly is BUSY, and the weather is good...for now. Just finished out a string of sunny days in the low 70's....I know that many of you are enjoying a snowy, cold winter. Must admit, the fact that Madison is having the snowiest winter in a while makes us sad not to be there.

Not much new to report with Lilly other than she is picking up words at a rapid pace and eating with utensils, at least some of the time. She's also really starting to act inquisitive, test her limits and give us an inkling of the terrible twos. Imitation is big on her list--dancing, football referees and house chores are pretty high up there. Our most recent purchase for her was a small plastic broom which she wouldn't let go of all weekend. Literally, it came to a friend's barbeque with us where she tried to sweep the lawn.

strapped in tight! we're not the worst parents ever, we swear! Lilly has recently figured out how to wiggle out of the seatbelt and stand up in the highchair. note that these are our belts.
