"Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices no more easily made. And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you posses. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace." ~ Kent Nerburn

First Family Road Trip

This last week we took our first road trip to Virginia, as a family. We went to visit Michael's family. Michael's brother and step sister have both had babies in the last couple months and his Dad was diagnosed with Multiple Myloma, a form of cancer, so we wanted to meet the babies and spend time with his Dad.
Lilliana is 4 months old and weighing in at 12lbs, she is very petite but very strong. She changes everyday.Her eyes are still blue and her red hair is turning blonde. She is rolling over on both sides now and talks to us all the time. She loves playing with her hands and feet and gets very excited when we play with the hand puppets, especially the cookie monster that Daddy got her. She also enjoys her wooden rattles and likes to reach and grasp for the things hanging from her mat. Lilliana is a very animated baby, she laughs and acts very silly. Our parents have told us that both Michael and I were like that when we were babies. Lilliana has warmed up to new people she meets, she just needed alittle more time to observe the person before we handed her over to them.
