giggle girl

Remember that cat on the kindle.. well if you poke it's head it falls backwards and then jumps back up while sticking out its tongue ... lilja thought it was so funny that the cat was sticking out its tongue to me, that the giggles started... in dutch we call it de slappe laugh.."bent over laugh... I had to document that moment with tears of laughs g in my eyes !!

"Quiet "time

almost no training wheels..almost !!

Today lilja practiced riding her bike without training wheels . She is almost there..kind of fearful..but very determined ..especially determined to make her parents run run and run.. I remember a video of my dad running beside me riding fir the first time. I laugh just thinking about the moment it really is going to happen.. she is so vkose, but still needs to realize she has to keep pedaling to keep her balance . We visited our neighbor Jean's gravestone also .. I love walking there, so peaceful and beautiful .

fun in the sun and tree

Love this action photo of lilja trying to make it "snow"

Yep, is she looking big to you or is it just me ?

We picked a bouquet for jt as he had a big recital that night .. lilja worked hard on finding the prettiest flowers just for him..

It was pretty hot outside, what better way to cool off than a sprinkler!!

No training wheels !! Almost !!

Lilja the book worm

Lilja has been reading little books for the last half year. She is getting better and better. So fun to see her really ready a book. Right now we are reading the Dr Seuss books. This one is the foot book
