lillia turns 10!
My “baby” is a decade old. Wow.
[Note: I accidentally left my camera in my car overnight so the lens was too foggy to take decent pictures. I had to use Damian’s camera. I’m definitely not used to it anymore, so I apologize if the quality of these pictures is not great.]
Check out this amazing Minecraft cake that my mom made!
Poor Lillia was so sick on her birthday. We had to pry her out of her bed.
But, she perked up considerably once the presents appeared!
Zane was pretty pleased with his gift, as well. As you can see, he’s something of an expert when it comes to power tools.
An adorable cat amidst the rubble.
If you ask her to smile these days, this is what you get.
We love her anyway. Happy Birthday, sweet Lillia!

I know I’m a little bit slow getting these pictures posted. I’ve been really sick. And, I share my computer with a tween (who just turned 10 and her mother still hasn’t posted photos from her birthday…).
This year we had a little black kitty (his request):
And, a Creeper. Some of us are a bit obsessed with Minecraft right now. She and her friend Enrique made plans to go trick-or-treating together. It is so interesting to watch her growing up, and to remember how I felt and behaved at her age. Friends are becoming a lot more important to her.
If you look really closely, you can see Lillia’s face behind that Creeper mouth.
And, here’s a little interview with Zane.

Right now Lillia is: completely immersed in the world of Harry Potter; working on drawing human beings; feeling a lot of anxiety about her upcoming show — she’s in two numbers this year; and impatiently waiting for the town pool to open.
at the farm
Last weekend we visited Stonewall Farm in Keene to see the “Dancing of the Ladies” — the moment that the cows are let out for the first time in the Spring. I heard that the cows frolicked, but I had not idea that they actually leaped about. It was something else.
