A lot has been going on this summer. Shortly after Lilly was born, she had surgery. While her and I were in Anchorage for that, Eric was here in Cordova with my parents and Ericka and Claire. They were super busy moving from their house by the lake to a different one. My parents just sold their house and had to be out by the first of August.
Trying not to get "bogged" down by the miserable weather has been a little challenging. Whenever it isn't raining, we try to do fun stuff outside. On Saturday my dad took the family down the Eyak River Silver salmon fishing. We have had a fun summer despite some unexpected things happening.
Precious little Lilly!
Dad and two of his girlies!
Ericka with her little sis Lilly...always holding her and being a little mommy!
I love this picture of Eric and Ericka!
This isn't the greatest picture of Lilly's scar, but you at least get the idea of what it looks like. It is really healing up well. You can't even see it when you aren't really looking for it by moving Lilly's head and pulling the skin tight. It blends in with the folds of her skin. It is a pretty big scar, going from midway in the front of her neck almost all the way to the middle of her back. It is probably about four to four and a half inches long. She is getting so chubby that you really can't even see it in the folds of her neck.
Ericka absolutely LOVES her little Lilly! She is such a little mommy and loves holding her all the time!
I can't believe how quickly Lilly is growing! Looking at this particular picture, she seems so big!
Claire got into the cupcakes this morning! Like most kids, her favorite part is the frosting!
All in all, we have really enjoyed our time here in Alaska. We are adjusting to having three kids. Believe me when I tell you, going from one to two kids is a piece of cake compared to going from two to three. This really is going to take some getting used to. The girls are each precious gems, and we just need to remember that when we are pulling our hair out trying to deal with them!
