It has been a fun weekend so far! Friday night we had the honor of babysitting our 2 month old baby niece Lily while her parents went to a wedding. The first 15 minutes were a little rough since Brad was still at work when Lily arrived and she was crying - no biggie - but then when Auntie Betsy left without holding Ella, Ella had an absolute crying fit! It was a little difficult trying to comfort them both - I got a little taste of what it would be like if we had 2:) After a little bit both were just fine and we had a great rest of the evening taking a walk and of course cuddling:) She is so darling and just settling into the smiling phase which just melted our hearts. There is nothing sweeter than having a tiny baby look at you and return your smile. We always think Ella is our little baby but after holding and spending time with Lily, it made us realize that Ella is not so much a little baby anymore:) Ella didn't pay much attention to Lily but she was curious when I held Lily and she was crying - otherwise she barely even noticed she was there. It was a great night with the two little sweeties!
Tonight, Saturday, we decided to head out to Holland beach for a walk and boy was it lovely out! We walked down the boardwalk and enjoyed watching the boats come through the channel - Ella was pretty sleepy all evening so it was just a nice quiet pieceful walk for mom and dad. Of course, we had to take the standard picture in front of the great Big Red lighthouse:)

Thanks again for taking such good care of Lily...she had a great time :)
I like the picture of Brad with the two girlies....hum...looks pretty natural to him to have two little girls on his lap:)
Very cute pictures--that Lily is a doll! And (sorry Brad) but Ella is taking on more and more of mommy with every picture!
I think two looks good on Brad. :-)
