My Girl

Lily isn't just my daughter - she is also my sweet friend. I honestly just ENJOY her company. We have such fun together and her personality is one that I just think is so cool. She constantly makes me laugh - not just giggle, but deep, belly laughing going on here!

My girlfriend took these pictures of us at the park last week, and I just love them. Not posed and perfect, but real and precious moments with my kiddo.
(See, Lily isn't the only one who likes the swings.)

oh I feel the same thing Nikki! Just this week a mommy told me she couldn't wait for next week when her house would be quiet becasue all 3 of her children would be in school and that she was looking forward to that mooment. I was sad for her. My children are my friends too, just like when I said I love the zoo, I am so glad I have them to tag along with me~I love being with them.
Beautiful pics!

Oh how fun. I love these pics. I feel the same about Mallory as you do Lily. I just enjoy her company because she is so full of personality. Isn't it wonderful to just hang out with our daughters?
Looks like you were having fun on the swing as well. LOL

Oh Nikki...I love these pictures! I feel that way about my children also, Emma Jane can't really communicate that well in a conversation yet but I can't wait for the day that she can.

Daniella said...

I love the relationship you have with Lily. Yours is the kind of friendship I want with my own children someday. I love that you like her so much.

These pictures say a thousand words. Lily is truly blessed to have such a wonderful Mom, as you are to have such a sweet girl. I am almost envious of how close you two are - I know Hallie and I would be that close if she was all I had. It's hard when you have two as time will tell. Enjoy this time with Lily. Things will be different when her sibling arrives!!!!

Love you guys. We MUST get together before summer is over.
