watching a play + loving it.

first haircut

what is it about girls and salons? Harper loved her first haircut while all the boys in the place were screaming their faces off.

celebrating a day early

Today we celebrated Lila with a pony ride and a Princess Celestia (that's the big star from My Little Pony) cake. Lila declared that today was her best birthday ever. Let's hope next year is even better. xo

Harper enjoys a quiet game on the iPad. Her father's daughter. Games and all.

reaching four

How can our Lila possibly be four? February 13 marks this milestone, which in many ways seems impossible. Our girl has brought so much to this world. And while she is definitely responsible for a few wrinkles, lost sleep and grey hair she has mostly made things a whole lot more fun. I for one hope she never loses her spark and the belief that she can truly do anything. From insisting she doesn't need swimming lessons ("when I get in the water I will just kick") to contemplating rides on unicorns, Lila believes that anything is possible. Actually, forget possible. With Lila it's probable.

This birthday she asked for her own office so "she could get work done and have privacy." Her parents are asking for her to slow down a tiny bit so they don't miss a moment of this audacious little person becoming something remarkable. xo
