Life Lately

Part of Lily's recovery is to keep her as healthy as we can and as the doctor says, we aren't exactly quarantined to our home.  We are just trying to avoid crowds inside and places where there are a lot of kids.  That doesn't leave a whole lot of places around here. :)  

We run to the stores during the day when it's not too crowded, take a lot of walks, play inside, go visit family, and take rides in the car (Thank you drive thru restaurants that serve coffee - nothing beats a large afternoon cup of Joe!!)

So here's a peek at our life lately:

Lots of playing.  Love this little one sitting with me!

The Ironman competition was going on the other day so I thought Lily may enjoy going to watch some of the bike riders on part of their total of 140 miles.  140 miles?!?!?!?  That's just crazy - that's a whole lot of swimming, biking and running!  Having run a half marathon (13 miles, actually 13.6 - let's not forget that .6 part!!)  that I thought was taking FOREVER, I can't imagine an Ironman .

I loaded Lily and the stroller up, drove to the part where I knew we could see some bike riders and I could get in a good walk at the same time, and we set off.  At first, Lily was quite serious about watching...

After a few minutes though, she began to channel how the athletes must have felt.

Just a little cat nap and then I'll be good to go again!

Lily's Daddy had a great idea the other night - let Lily stay up late with us.  And eat brownies. Well, I like brownies with ice cream while sitting on the couch so I was all in.  This was the first of many for Lily:  first time to stay up late (all the way til 9:15!), first brownie and ice cream and first time to eat on the couch.  Yes, I did put a towel around her to catch any crumbs there may have been.  I was all in for this adventure, but let's be real - I was a little nervous about chocolate crumbs everywhere!

I tried to get a few pics but Lily was just too excited and thought this was all pretty silly.

Silly Lily

A little dress up time one day can certainly pass some time and make for a bit of fun.

Several times a day we enjoy our walks with our puppies.  When it's just me, Lily rides in the wagon but when her Daddy is here, she rides in the stroller.  I love this stroller and am so glad we got it because I really went back and forth whether to get it or not.

Evidently Lily likes it too!

Happy, happy girl with her snack and water

Later that day after going to the above mentioned drive thru for a coffee, Lily fell asleep in the car. Remember, she doesn't nap but if she happens to be in the car in the afternoon, then that's another story!  This day I was able to bring in her and lay her down.  

She slept for a whole 15 minutes! She just doesn't want to miss anything.  Who can blame her?  She has a lot to see and do!
