Amanda and Stephanie flew in from Seattle today. After I told Lily that we heated the pool she really wanted to go for a swim. It was kinda breezy so I was like NO WAY. Then Stephanie says “I will go swimming with you Lily” . This is one of the reasons I love my nothern girls!

The last three times Lily and I have gone to the grocery store a “Customer with Child Parking” spot has been open. There are three of them that I know of. I still wonder if every time I park there if she is considered a child. Here is the dictonary.com definition of child 1. a person [...]

I had one of those moments today. The one where you question yourself. I was in the grocery with Lily and it was decided we were having french toast for dinner. I told her all we needed was some bread, milk, and eggs. She looked at me and said “I don’t want eggs with my [...]

Lily and I went shopping after work for a dress to wear to dinner on Friday night. We looked at every single dress in the store and narrowed it down to 5 of them. Then I had her try on each dress and we narrowed it down to 2 of them. Then came the difference in opinion… [...]
