The Wiley FOUR

First Two Days of Preschool

I cannot even come close to believing that our daughter is going to school. Preschool, mind you, but school! She is going Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-11:30. So far, she seems to really like it. Not surprising. She didn't even say goodbye to me as she walked in the classroom on the first day. Lilah is not at all sad to leave me, and is super excited to be there. And I have an obnoxious amount of pictures from the first day, and a few from the 2nd. I know, they are basically all the same, but so cute I had to post all of them.

Ballerina Cutie Pie

She was so excited...and so far she loves ballet. I will take a picture of all the girls when they have their "recital" because all these little 3-4 year olds in pink tutus is the cutest!

7 months!

Girls Weekend

The long awaited girls weekend - no kids, no hubbys - was...short. And I think we were all reminded that we are getting older, we are much more responsible, and a girls weekend is just not what it used to be. I'm not saying it wasn't wonderful. It was so great to be with a lot of my best girlfriends and to not have kids distracting us, or working around naps, tantrums, and their feeding schedules. We had lunch in Roslyn at this great little place that we sat out in what seemed like someone's back yard. We had an unexpected visitor (see all the pictures) that was very smelly and clearly had much too much to drink. Then we went to the place we were staying for some magazine reading and sitting in the sun. We went back to our room to snack and have some wine. I took a picture of our refrigerator because we had enough food and drinks for an army. I think a lot of the food was eaten, and most of the wine went back home with us. We were ready to go to bed at 9:30. Yes, 9:30. The sun and snacking got to us. I think we were all fast asleep by 11. Short but sweet. :)

Like Mama, Like Lilah

Pumping. That's what she sees at our house. :)

Family Ferry Ride

Lilah gets to see the ferry from afar all the time when she is with granny. Finally we made time on a Saturday this summer to go on a ferry ride from Edmonds to Kingston. It was a beautiful summer day in Seattle. Perfect. We stopped over there for a yummy lunch sitting outside and then had some ice cream before heading back. It was a really nice few hours. Eden did well and was mostly happy. Lilah loved riding on the ferry, eating at a restaurant, and having ice cream. All some of her favorite things. :)
