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!
Grids, Balls, Little Person, and Kitty Cats
Today, after getting what appeared to be a fairly decent night’s rest, Lily popped down for breakfast and started counting the fire makers (lighter sticks) in the package on the counter. She indicated, as she touched each, that there were a total of 5. Then she counted the ginger bread cookie cutters (4) and the […]

Super Dead Fish
Jessica, the 7 year old gold fish ($.12 feeder) is dead. BUT… Take heart.. She’s not just dead… She’s SUPER DEAD! Lily identified the fish as, well, not breathing nor moving a couple of mornings ago. We’d expected this and moved her to her own tank for the duration. She was rather old, […]

It's Ok, Mama's Here
There have been many, many times in the last 3.5 years when Cecily has awakened a bit in the night, or when an infant, awakened any time of the day, and I (Angie) have come to her side to sooth and solve. I think I have often said something like, “Lilybug, ______________ Mama’s here”, in […]
