A girl and her Dad

Joel was gone from home for 2 months this summer for medical school. We were home without him for a month, and by the end Lydia (and I) were more than ready for him to come. Here is their cute reunion. I love her faces in both of them, it shows her pure joy in seeing her Daddy again.

Thank you Nana!

We are loving this custom made costume that came in the mail today!! I think this Cinderella is going to have a fun Halloween this year!
My mom does a great job with sewing, every costume has been handmade by her- thank you!!

Conversations with Lydi

Mommy, when I grow up and have my own house I want to have a yellow dog and name him Jesse.  I want to have a black dog too!! I will name him Fuzzy!  I will have two dogs a yellow dog and a brown dog.  I will live in my house with my babies and my dogs.

*sniffles*

When I live in my own house I woo-n't live with you ANYmooo-re!

*hard crying now*

I'm going to miss you, I want to just live with yooo-u!

Lydia and Emma were running around the teller lines today while I was at the bank.  They were going through the lines of "Bear Hunt" over and over again and came up with some really good actions- especially when it came time to run from the bear.  I was a little bit confused though why Emma was swimming through the river while Lydia was just running through.  Usually it is Lydia that is really into details.  When I asked her she replied that she has "face Mommy"  "You have what??"  "I have FAITH Mommy, I have lots of Faith!"
