Co-Blogging With Lily! (diet coke free!)

Lily says "Boo boo." I have stopped drinking soda and now drink mostly water. I tried substituting it with hot tea, but gave that up mostly as the sugar required was deleterious. Lily thinks you should now that she really lies to make pizza. She is less enthusiastic about consuming the results. She likes the name "Helium" for a little brother. Thank you http://www.strindbergandhelium.com/index.html and Rob who showed it to all of us. We are still in NY. Brother Herb has had some awesome-rific successes as of late. These can be viewed at his website: www.herbwilliamsart.com He's awesome. More later.

General Update (no pictures)

Hello. In May, we left Arizona, spent a week in Alabama, and then moved in with Jeremy's family in New York. Jeremy is teaching online and working on his dissertation. I am working at an insurance company call center, and it's better than it sounds. Lily is reading (gasp!) and demanding a sibling. It's a fun time. The autumn foliage was simply unbelievable, and watching it unfold day by day was amazing. I finally got to go to Rhinebeck, and that was a pretty fine time as well. That is all for now. Take care.

I am going to be posting a series of (mostly pictureless) posts that (for some reason) never got posted over the last 18 months or so. Enjoy!

Lily's Creation - The Rapunzel Zombie

You may have to squint slightly, but check out what Lily has called, "The Rapunzel Zombie"

Also, you can see below how Lily was imitating her mother's entering dates on a big calender. Lily made her own chart, including someone apparently hanging out on one of the dates of her calender.

My 30th Birthday Cake!

No Candy Corn Jokes Allowed!

Lily helped mix, bake, wait for it to cool, attempt to frost, wait to cool some more, finally frost and decorate this cake, which she then declined to eat.

Lily Draws a Yellow Monster, and She Writes Her Name

After writing her name the first time (see 1st pic below), Lily said writing was too hard. I told her about "practice." After a few minutes, she handed me the notebook, which had a second picture (2nd pic below), and said, "I practiced."
