My husband grows a crazy moustache during November to raise awareness for Prostate Cancer (I think he does it to embarrass me....but we'll go with the awareness thing).

The other day Lily says to Dan "I wish you was a girl".  Dan: "Why?"  Lily: "Because then you wouldn't have a moustache, it's too scratchy when you kiss me".

Another fun session with some absolute sweethearts:

Hank comes over from a few houses away saying: "I'm so happy I got a new stuffy!!!!  I asked for the frankenstein, but they said no, so all I got was the vampire."  

WTHeck?  So I get him to re-tell it for Dan later.  Apparently there was a grouping of stuffies near the door. And his expression was the same as mine.  I said: "I know, I heard that story & was like hmmmm????"  


And Hank says: "It's not a story, it's the TRUTH!!!!"  


Exactly.

How cute is this family???

On a playdate with a mutual friend this past summer, Henry met this sweet girl......and was enchanted.  We later met at a spray park and he followed her around all afternoon and needed to sit right beside her.  For weeks he talked about his "girlfriend".  After taking these photos, they ended up at the same playdate again.  He randomly stated to me later that day: Yep, I'm gonna marry her!

Here she is, and her wonderful famiy:

I'm sitting here in a bit of a daze.....my baby girl is turning 3.  I am amazed at the changes that have happened in the last year, in fact, just in the last few months.  A true Mama's girl, yet independent when it suits her (like when it comes to washing her hair....or choosing her clothes).  A sweet little girl who'll walk up and down the house, or the store, or the hockey arena, bouncing and shushing her baby.  This instinct that she has to nurture is amazing to me....to see it at such an early age.

Here's my latest Lily story:

With the abundance of candy in the house you can imagine the extra want.  Bring in Lily….sneaking behind me to where the candy is kept.  Grabbing a pack of Rockets, & running away.  And then she comes back, throws the half pack back in the bag and then "sneaks" off.  30 seconds later, she's back for the rest of the pack…..I turn around…..she's wide eyed looking at me as I start laughing.  Busted!

We took her out to document this age.
(for the first three shots I let her "style" her own hair with her "hendband")
