Lily is one of the sweetest little girls who loves her doggies very much. Her new thing is to sit on Max's back and give him "loves". He is so good with her and just lets her sit on him as long as she wants. We went to NW Arkansas to visit family in the beginning of October. We had a wonderful time, it is so pretty there with rolling hills and trees everywhere. A far contrast to this vast desert that we live in. Lily had the best time with her cousins. This particular family lived in China for two years and they are the ones who planted the seed for adoption from China for us. So this was particularly a special trip for us and for them, meeting Lily for the first time. We also got to see my brother and his wife who live in Oklahoma and traveled to come and see us and also meet Lily for the first time. It was really wonderful to see everybody again.

These are Lily's two favorite super heroes that she hangs out with while mommy and daddy are at work. It is so fun to watch them together, they laugh and laugh.

She just couldn't keep her eyes open. All the other kids were running from house to house while she slept through it all.

One of Lily's favorite things is to pull her daddy's guitar out and strum the strings. Maybe we will have another musician in the family.

Here she is, showing her personality. I found these teeth in a drawer and she thought it was so funny to put them on. She is giggling in this picture.
