Weather has been a bit of a challenge lately, though - either bitterly (and unseasonally) cold or raining and we can't get out as much as we'd like. Lily knows no difference...Samson, however, is not so fun when he doesn't get his exercise!!

Walks with the Family
Every once in a while, when the weather is nice, we get the family together and go for a walk through the neighborhood. Samson gets to play pack leader - he loves walking out in front, head and tail held high in pride. We have the standard "stroller" for Lily to ride in (see below) but Jess also has an "Ergo-Baby" which is essentially a kangaroo pouch for humans. It's great for her, cause she has hands free, and great for Lily because she is all snuggled up with mama.

Days and Nights...Nights and Days
This is a great picture of Lily sleeping...
We have many of these, because Lily likes to sleep during most of the day (or at least, when she's not eating). The problem is, she likes to be awake during most of the night!! I'd love to get more pics of her awake with eyes open, but we are both too delirious at 3am to grab the camera!! We did get this one of a few days ago, just after a bath...
I read that this confusion of nights and days only lasts a few weeks. Hopefully, we make it!

Welcome Sissy!
As many of you know, we have a 1.5 year-old Chocolate lab named Samson. There he is on the left. When we learned in February that Lily would be arriving in the fall, of course we started wondering how we would get Samson acquainted - would he be welcoming, overly curious, bitter and jealous? Based on his usual behavior, we figured chances were he'd just be his goofy self. But when your dog weighs 90 lbs (all muscle, literally) goofy can be a liability too. But we are happy to report, he has been great in welcoming his little sister home! He has "showered" her with kisses whenever he gets the chance (meaning, soaks her head with his bionic tongue) and was visibly proud to lead our first stroll outside yesterday.
His last adjustment: what is that screaming noise at 3:18 in the morning?

A Great Date!
On Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 12:03p, Lily Maureen came in to the world!
She shares a birthday with several famous people, perhaps most importantly, her Uncle Justin! And since she is somewhat 'famous' in her own rite already, we figured everyone could follow her adventures through this blog - The Lily Patch
Enjoy, and be sure to use the Comments feature to stay in touch!!
