The Force is strong with this one.....

Well Lilly is officially a Star Wars Fan. It started with a 1/2 viewing of the movie. We didn't make it thru the whole thing cause of bedtime, but that was enough of a taste to plant the seed. Later that week we finished the movie and she is hooked.
This was all cemented when we went to Disneyland and she got to be a part of the Jedi Training show in tomorrow land. They take the kids up on stage, teach them some Jedi moves and then they fight Darth Vader. She was chosen and went up and followed all the directions (not even looking at me once) My stomach was in knots.....would she fight Darth, would she be overwhelmed.....well those of you who know her can guess that she stood there....no fear and fought Darth.....kicked his butt, pummeled him.....you get the idea. We cheered and clapped and were so proud of her. What an independent spirit she has. And although it drives me crazy, I LOVE that she can just go up in front of 150 people and kick Darth Vader's Ass with no qualms. We snapped many many pictures. They don't do it justice. Enjoy.

Then and Now

I've seen this on a couple sites. The idea is to look back at the last year and see the major differences. I thought I'd do a slight tweak of this...here is the pumpkin patch pictures thru the years. our girl has changed a lot and of course there is a round little man added to this year.
