Faelyn being "glamorous"

This year was the very first year the girls have ever seen fireworks! needless to say they were very impressed.

Fae also took this opportunity to play in the sand

Summertime...and it has been HOT! good thing the girls love being poolside
Enjoy!

Every year the Lincoln Park Zoo has a picnic...where they open up the zoo after hours for members...we had such a wonderful time.

RAWR

It has been a busy few months for us! Let's catch up.

A little while ago we went to a local Arboretum and the girls really enjoyed all the beauty...plus they got to dress up with Fairy wings.

Lenora is 1and she is 33 inches tall, weighs 33lbs. is walking! up to 20-30 steps at a time and really, really enjoys walking. very verbal...almost always happy.

below are some adorable pics from her very Pandastic party.

Her cake.

Here comes the cake!!

It was a wonderful day. be well.

A little while ago we had visitors. Aunt Amanda and Cousin Conner came for a visit. Fun happened!

Lenora is a climbing fool...our little mountain goat! (although as I post these she has already taken her first steps- hopefully those will come soon) Love to all!
