Our Girls

Lila and Eva posing for the camera.

Eva LOVES Lila so it's pretty easy to get a great smile out of her when her big sister is near by.

Lila was reading the book "F is for Farm" to Eva this morning. 

Esther Short Park - Father's Day

Eating a yummy lunch from the farmer's market. We got some great fruit at the market too!

Father's Day Hike

I carried Lila because the Ergo Pack is much more comfortable to me than the Bjorn. Besides, Lila and I had a great time singing and talking about the flowers and slugs that we saw on our walk.

Eva and Dada. Eva even had her first experience taking a bottle on a hike...we were prepared with hot water and formula thank heavens.

Lila, Amy and Eva...

This is me at 3 months wearing 'the yellow dress'.

This is Lila with 'the yellow dress'.

And Eva...

The Look Alike Contest

This lovely yellow dress and classic shoes were mine when I was a baby. When Lila was 3 months old we took her photo in the dress and shoes. Today, Eva is 3 months old so we got her dressed and ready for her photo shoot...here are the results.

These two are Lila in 2007

This is Eva getting ready for her photo shoot...

She was so nervous that she was constantly chewing on her dress.

Cheese!

Well, what do you think? Do they look alike? I will upload the photo of me wearing the same dress soon and then we can really compare.

Lila's Birthday

Lila woke up and immediately wanted to put her Birthday Crown on. Ironic because the day before and the say after she wanted nothing to do with it. She must have known it was only appropriate to wear on her 'birthday'.

Lila with 'Amma' McGeachy in the morning.

I took Lila to breakfast at a local cafe in Camas. Two other restaurant patrons bought our breakfast and left before we could even say thank you. It was a REALLY wonderful way to start our day. Now we have to find a way to pay it forward.

Grandpa and Nana Shrum cam down after work to celebrate Lila's birthday weekend with us. Here Grandpa and Eva are just hanging out.

Lila gets ready to celebrate by blowing out candles on her birthday cake. 

I made this cake for Lila's real birthday. Mom mom's cake for her birthday party was amazing...see next entry. 

Eva and Brody

I babysat Brody Newcombe last week and here is a photo of he and Eva. They had a great time playing and listening to me read. So much so that they both took great naps which made babysitting two infants easy.
