Lilly at Skamania Lodge











We had a lot of fun swimming at Skamania Lodge over Spring Break. We only spent one night. Despite the rain, we enjoyed the Friday Night Seafood Buffet and the scenic drive. Lilly is almost walking. She took 30 steps the other day! Lilly's first word besides "DaDa" is "Dog". She loves Sadie and Emma (Nana and Papa's dogs) and Winnie and Brady (Jenny and Bryan's dogs). After spending the night at Skamania, we spent the night at Bryan and Jenny's. Lilly slept great both nights, but not so well when we went to Sunriver a day later.

Brandon shoveling snow on our Driveway



Brandon has made it safely to work the past couple of days. Thank goodness for 4-wheel drive!

Lilly being WILD in her crib


Lilly's new favorite game is to toss all of her stuffed animals out of her crib and onto the floor. I guess I used to play the same game when I was her age.

Lilly made friends with a goat in the Petting Zoo at the Grotto!


Lilly and Pooh Bear

Lilly got a giant Pooh Bear from Great-Grandpa Jim for Christmas. As you can see, she loves it!

Christmas Tree Lighting at the Hilton





It's a tradition for our family that every year, the Friday night after Thanksgiving, we go downtown Vancouver with my parents and brother and Brandon's brother and sister-in-law, Matt and Angie. We see the tree lighting, listen to the Vancouver Pops (Brandon's grandparents play), and see the Festival of the Trees. It was especially fun to take Lilly this year. She loved people watching and playing with her cousin, Nicholas.
