Lily got to ride in the Engine of the Train!
She was swinging. . .

Lily has always enjoyed riding the carousels. This one is on the main strip
in Pigeon Forge and Wears Valley Road.

Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Ben Ogle's Farm
Lily enjoyed exploring the house and barn.Lily made good use of a stick she found along the trail.
Lily proved to be quite the hiker on Ogle's Farm. It was considerably rocky along the wooded trail that was probably about a mile long, up and down hill, and over a few brooks and bridges.We finally came to an old grist mill on the creek with Lily leading the way!

Lily and my Mom check out the old Ogle Farm Grist mill.
Melanie is a good hiker, too!

Summer 2007 in Pigeon Forge, TN/Dollywood

Lily and I taking a break from the heat in Dollywood. Her vocabulary has grown very rapidly, possibly because her favorite word is the perpetual "Why?"
Lily and Emily with her Nanny (Grandmother Vickie Skipper) and her Aunt Christy. They really enjoyed the train.
Above is Lily (left) and her cousin Emily. Lily is 4 year old and Emily will be 3 in 2 months. They both enjoy playing dress-up, especially when it means becoming a Princess!

Below, Lily is enjoying a ride on the Carousel at Dollywood.

A shopping/sight seeing trip to Savanah, Georgia!

Lily took a special interest in getting these little cloth shoes to stay on the china dolls.
She does have determination.

Back where it all started!

Many of you already know that Lily started out as a premie. She was born at 29 weeks, and was 2 lbs. Above you see her on Sondra's arm with my wedding ring as a bracelet. She was still being fed through a feeding tube here. We would gravity feed mother's milk from a seringe. She was in the NICU at CMC for 6 weeks. The day she checked out of the hospital she hit 4 lbs.

It's begining to look like Christmas!

Lily and Emily are both excited about Santa this year!

And cute to boot!

Thanksgiving!

Re-inactment with real indians!

Lily LOVES playing dressup with friends!

A trip to Vegie Tales with Hannah and Larry the Cucumber!

You've come a long way, baby!

From 2 lbs at birth,

to 4 lbs when she came home from the hospital to 24 lbs this halloween,

Lily has come a long way.

And it sure isn't because I know what I'm doing!

To God be the Glory!

More random photos!

Ya gotta love that smile!













Here she is yelling "Vacation" while doing the "V" sign. She loves the beach, sand and water, and just being together with everyone at once.


















Picnics in the park are fun too, especially with cupcakes and icing!

Various Pics of Lily

Lily started small, but she has grown!

Her vocabulary has grown so much, I didn't think


I would notice new words, but the word she uses so much now has gotten my notice: WHY?



Over and over in succession. I have to try to think of an answer that she can't say why to! LOL
