Lila is 6!

Today my little girl turned 6. I can hardly believe the years are flying by so quickly! 

At 6, Lila is a friendly, intelligent, and artistic girl. She loves going to kindergarten and making new friends. Her first goal at the beginning of the school year was to make 100 friends. Wherever we are she is always eager to introduce herself and make new friends. I hope she never outgrows this beautiful personality trait.


She is coming up on her third year of literacy, and now that she's going to school she's very interested in spelling. This week she's been spelling out "yes" and "no" instead of saying the words. It's cute to see how much she's enjoying her budding skill.

Lila's artistic interests continue to grow. She spends most of her free time on arts and crafts. There seems to be an endless pile of her art projects, crayons, and markers at the end of the dining room table. She hardly finishes a project before she's on to the next one! 


As the school year started, Lila decided to take a break from gymnastics. She still loves to practice headstands against the wall and do backward rolls on the living room rug, but that's all for now. She has really enjoyed our hiking and climbing adventures outdoors this fall and we got her a harness so she could join us on the ropes. She's a great climber!


I couldn't love my little girl more. I'm so happy to share my life with her and that I have the privilege of being her mom. I love you, Lila!!

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

The long version & his name

By
I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
