As promised..

I promised my family this weekend, that I would make every effort to become a better blogger. We had a wonderful weekend this weekend visiting with family in anticipation and celebration of the newest baby on the way--Konnor. We got to spend time with Lili's oldest twin cousins--Kendall and Kourtney, and youngest twin cousins--Brewer and Bonham, as well as Lili's aunts, uncles (sorry Uncle Robert--we missed you!), grandparents, and grandpa's cousins who we had not seen since Lili's birth. It was a wonderful visit, and as soon as we upload the pics, I'll post them. All of the babies are growing up SO fast, and it is wonderful to get everyone all together.

To keep everyone happy until the pictures are posted, I've decided to post a list of some of the adorable things that my Lili is doing these days--more for my own memory than anything..though I hope that you my reader(s) will enjoy them as well.

*Lili LOVES to talk on the phone. She'll carry around our phones, propping it between her ear and shoulder "talking" to anyone or everyone. "Hello", "Who is it?", "Hold on." It's precious!

*Lili is now "blowing her nose". She holds a wipe on her nose, and then blows out a quick breath from her mouth.

*Every night before bed, I tell Lili what I remember my own mother telling me before we went to sleep. "I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck." Now, when I get to peck..Lili takes out her paci and kisses my cheek..pure preciousness.

Hope you're all doing well--also, welcome to my newest "niece"--ok, she's not blood, but she'll still be my niece. Welcome to the world Rylie Ann Figley--can't wait to meet you!!

Until next time, all!!

18 months ALREADY?!?

It's so hard to believe that our little girl is already 18 months old! Time has certainly flown by, and we have enjoyed every minute watching this little girl grow. She's becoming an amazing little person who loves playing with the dogs, laughing, and playing peek-a-boo anytime she can..with anyone who will play! =) God has given us such an amazing gift in this little person. I know that as parents, it is our responsibility to teach her..but I can't help but think about how much she is teaching us along the way.



We've come so far, from the days of the hospital incubator at just a few days hold, to running and playing in fields of flowers. We're so blessed to have this beautiful little girl, who we'll get to watch grow up with a family FULL of cousins her own age. We're so thankful for Bon & Brew..and can't wait to meet the two newest cousins coming soon (but not as a pair this time--they have different Mommys). We know that all of these little ones will be a blast for the two older girls to keep up with as the years go by!

I PROMISE to try and be better about updating--have i said that before? Well this time I PROMISE!
