She decided to be a nerd today, self proclaimed… The scientist, inventor has re-emerged, this time, a Lady in Red. Lily, er, Ms. Cecily, er, Lindsey, er, Merida….. Has developed a specific enjoyment and appreciation of that which she deems super scientifical, and beautiful. It’s amazing to see her develop this sense of herself. She […]
Rocking Chair Music
About a month ago, Lily lost it in a panic of tears and dread. She’d managed to pull the string on the music box, on the bottom of her rocking chair (previously mine, previously my mother’s). She panicked that she’d ruined it entirely, and came running to me for help. Russ managed to sooth her […]
Adiemus. Really.
This conversation has associated posts here & here. _________________________________________________ Ok, so, I already suspected it, but, now I know. Lily seems to have inherited a fun trick from Russ. With music coming from both of us, and it being aural and sight, it’s not a surprise she’s exhibiting a somewhat natural knack for it.. But this was […]

Sooooooooooo, What's Adoption?
I asked her to give me her idea of it first.. Twas an interesting conversation. We continued our discussion… She decided the concept is a good one, and one with which she is already intimately aware! In a manner of speaking, given that our way of thinking is that Russ and Angie were, and then […]
All About October 18
Lily graced us with the privilege of sharing her memories of both the day she joined us on the outside, and while still inside. She shared many of her memories with me, just me, about 6 months ago. I wrote in detail then what she spoke, as I will now. To date, Lily has seen […]
Word Construction, Roller Blades, Helping, Ratio, and Headed North?
Yeesh, the last two days have been full! Lily made a new friend yesterday, and today decided to roller blade with them (and the entire run of kids on our street), as well as Russ and I around the neighborhood. She has learned how to have mama on her blades while Lils enjoys a very […]
Big Meadows Reservoir hike
A few days ago, the three of us hiked around Big Meadows Reservoir, west of South Fork, Colorado. Her immense love for the flowers was delightful. The endless curiosity is admirable. We shall go back and discover more soon!
New house
She loves the new house that Grandma found. I asked for a ‘cheese,’ but I got a ‘moo’. Good idea!
