to colin!

the other day i was reading your mom's blog and there was a big picture of Colin holding up his free kids meal coupon. lily was sitting in my lap and she saw colin and got VERY excited. She crawled up on the desk and started cooing at the screen and giving it hugs and kisses. She loves you cousin colin!

quick update

so we are in mesa... we are enjoying ourselves, especially seth with his job. he likes the people he works with and the size of the company and they have already hinted at hiring him at a higher position than he expected when (as they put it) he comes back in dec. we really like the area, lots to do and housing is really really cheap (we found a new 4 bed 3 bath house for 150... not even a foreclosure) that would make it so we could move directly into a house instead of an apt which we would love. it would also put us closer to my parents and some friends. lily is loving brandon and crystals dogs (all 3 of them) and besides a scare this morning with ant poision ( everyone is ok) she gets along with them really well. she loves their puppy titan the best. (she even says his name) now i say puppy.. hes only 13 weeks old... but hes an amerian bulldog so hes already bigger than their 2 full grown pugs. oh btw i ran into jenae ( my uncle rich's daughter) at walmart yesterday so that was fun. i'll post a pic or two of lily once i can find the card reader on this computer.

pictures






so here are some cute pics... lily loves to play in our little fold up hamper.. she also loves the snuggle bear she got from her aunt mariam. she carrys him around and tries to feed him her bottles. there is also a pic of her at the zoo looking at her twin (a monkey) there is one of her in the swing too... which she is completely in love with... soon we will have to take a picture of her pushing a cart at a store... the other day we were at walmart and i put her down on the floor.. looked away for a min and looked back to find that she had stolen someone elses cart and was navigating it through the isles. we went to sams club today and she pushed the cart (with my help of course) for at least 15 mins. anway here are the pics. enjoy

ok ok i've been slacking

so here is a quick post. lily's health update... she wasn't getting better so we got her on a steroid to go in her nebulizer... and it worked! so shes feeling alot better now... she is also walking like a champ! she tries to walk about as much as she crawls now and shes taken up to 20 steps at a time! we went to colorado to visit seths parents for the long weekend (got back at 1 this morning because our flights got delayed) and lily's walking got really good while we were there mainly because she was trying to chase down their two dogs. she also learned a few new words while we were there... good girl, good boy and good dog (we said them all alot to the dogs so she thought that is how to call them) she also barked at them alot... her daddy taught her to bark a couple of weeks ago. she also said gobi which is one of the dogs names... so shes talkin alot and loved playing with the dogs and collecting crab apples in gma and gpas backyard. (she would fit and many as she could in each hand) she of course also learned to feed the dogs from the high chair.... they have a lab that can reach the tray so she really loved that. anyway it was a good trip...

Last week seth had a phone interview that was promising. it was with the largest horticulture company in the world and they will probably hire him if he wants the job. the down sides are that it is is chicago and we really want to go somewhere warm.. and that it doesn't start until march and he graduates in dec. the up sides are that its a training program that will prepare him for a great job in the future, it only lasts up to one year... and it will look really good on a resume. either way its nice to have an option on the table. well i have to unpack and shower. i'll post pics soon.

lily's health (again)

so lily just got off an antibiotic yesterday for a sinus infection... and it worked for her nose but just moved it all down to her chest. this weekend (its always on the weekends isn't it) she kept choking in her sleep. so we took her back to the doc who perscribed a nebulizer, chest xray and allergy medicine. the doc thinks it might be allergy or asthma related... (both run in seth's family) luckily medicaid purchased the nebulizer for us (the place i got it from said they sold 6 to parents of children yesterday) so her chest xray is today, wish us luck and we hope its not pneumonia. yesterday it was the first time in a month it was warm and dry enough (without too much wind) to play outside.. lily loved it sooo much. she had just finished a nebulizer treatment and she was really hyper and she just crawled around as fast as she could because she had so much space. she also practiced standing as much as possible and flirted with every person who walked by... it was wonderful... too good to last... the high today is 50 and its rainy and windy... so no outside time today. (did i mention she has thrush again and her eczema is really bad again) but the good news is that this weekend is supposed to be in the 70's without a cloud in sight.. woohoo!
