Want a Free Candy Bar? . . .

Lily can get you one!


So one of Lily's most favorite things lately is going to the grocery store where they have "Car" shopping carts. She loves playing with the steering wheel and if you stop to get something she yells out, "The car's not working."

We had completed our shopping and I started loading the car with our groceries. When I went to get Lily out of her "car" I noticed that she was holding a candy bar in her hand. I proceeded to explain to her that we can't take anything without paying for it . . . I think she understood because she kept saying, "that not nice."

We quickly went back to the store and I found an older gentleman that worked there. I explained what had happened and gave him back the candy bar. He looked at Lily and she threw her hands up to her face like she was acting shy. He tried to give the candy bar back to her and I kindly told him no. (I was trying to teach her lesson). He understood . . . but for only a minute. He walked away and looked back at Lily and quickly came back to her and handed her the candy bar. (Not the lesson I wanted to teach . . . but who can resist a cute 2-year-old?)

IRRESISTIBLE.

Don't worry, I think she still learned her lesson- that it can pay to be honest!

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

Lily is Home!

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
