Pumpkins, Parks, Parties, Petfrified of Dr.'s

So far this month we have been quite busy. Last weekend we grabbed breakfast to go and took Lily to the park bright and early. Later that day we took a trip over to the Pumpkin Patch with cousin Josie. Lily didn't do too much sitting for pictures. She was full speed ahead the entire time. Of course her cheeks were beat red by the time we left both places.

I plan to make another trip to the patch in hopes to catch better pictures of Lily.

Middle of last week, Lily came down with with a horrible infection that had her burning up with 105 fevers for 2 days. After cold showers, ice packs, rotating meds, 3 doctor visits, 2 injection shots later....our little girl is on the road to recovery. The cause was a urinary track infection. The doctor raised the level of concern slightly because of how high of an infection she contracted. We follow up in 2 weeks where we will discuss where to go from here to eliminate any under lying issues. Lily is offically petrified of the dr.'s office. By the time we leave she is so upset and passes out in the car from all the crying :(

Just a couple days ago we attended Lily's second cousins' 3rd birthday party (Dominic and Carmine) at the Seminole Native Village. It was a beautiful day and Lily seemed to LOVE it. There are alligators, birds, reptiles, panthers, and a baby deer (Lily's fav)- all at the village. Luckily we were able to snap a shot of Lily trying to grab a feel of her pretty spots. We ended the day by playing in the dirt next to the gator pit with her friend Gracie - Girls will be Girls.

Weekend Away in Sebring

Ryan, Lily, and I just returned from a much needed weekend away in peaceful Sebring, Florida. Aunt Katie and Billy invited us up to Billy's parents house on Lake Istokpoga. We could not have had a better time or asked for more beautiful weather.

When we arrived Friday night. At first Lily was out of sorts from her nap in the car and then awaking in a strange place. Once we settled in we took a cruise on the golf cart which is where Lily put herself soundly to sleep for the evening.

Saturday morning we hit the lake on the pontoon boat; this was Lily's first time on a boat. She loved every minute. The life jacket was a challenge in the beginning but as long as we fed her cheetos she was a happy camper.

Billy's parents were most welcoming and made us feel right at home. I do believe they also enjoyed hearing the pitter patter and babbles of Lily during our visit. The only downfall of the whole weekend was having to return home. We relaxed so much that we were slightly depressed leaving.

Thank You Kelly family - for inviting and showing us a great time!
