Walking

A couple of weeks ago Lily took her first steps and she's getting better and better at walking. She's even mastered eating and walking at the same time (notice the graham cracker in her hand). She enjoys her new found freedom and loves to walk up to her brothers and tackle them. She's also starting to mimic/talk and says, "Hi", "Hi Dad!", "brother", "Trapper", (our dog) and "Mama", or at least words that sound like these. One more month and she will be a year old!

Sivai is enjoying kindergarten, learning quickly and showing his true personality. Patrick went to a literacy meeting the other day with his teacher and he inquired as to how Sivai was doing. She said that if he wants to do something he will and if he doesn't want to do it he refuses. This is truly his strong will showing through.

On another note; if I am ever rich in this life my one splurge would be fresh flowers in every room of my house year round. I love flowers and plants and I pretend to have a green thumb, these are from my garden. The arrangement is a mix of phlox, verbena, and zinnias.
