Sarah's Wedding

This is Lily after not taking a nap all day and spending 3 hours in the car on the way back from NC....

...as soon as we got her out of the van, she laid down in our grass and said, "night-night". It was 5 PM.

We had such a great weekend. Sarah's wedding was beautiful and Lily got to spend all her time with Grandma and Grandpa! Jeremy and I were so grateful for the break.

Just after Sarah walked down the aisle...Jeremy and Greta playing the prelude music. They did a great job!Lily and I with the gorgeous bride!Lily and Grandpa visiting the horses on the farm where the wedding was held.
Lily NOT wanting to be held by Sarah's aunt! We were past her bedtime at this point.

Lily and Grandma
We were reunited with some old friends - Tina flew in from Washington state and Iris drove down from New York to be there. We were all in the Deeper Discipleship Training Institute together... It was so great to see them.

We also got to finally meet Jeremy's second family from his childhood- the Fords! I loved finally putting faces with these names I have heard so much about. They are a wonderful family.

Feeding the "ducks".

Lily had a blast playing with their toys. She really wanted to get in this Barbie rockstar van.
Lily had the best time playing with Grandma and Grandpa...


Sarah and Carlos - we love you both dearly and wish you happiness and joy as you begin the rest of your life together!!

Introducing...

Trying to Catch Up

I am trying to catch up with pictures from the last few weeks....here are "the sisters"! Lily and I went down to Greenville to celebrate Meemaw and Peepaws 60th anniversary and also see Great Aunt Jan and Great Aunt Susie! Arent they cute?

Jan and Lily bonding... This is the only other shot I got of Susie...
Lily's favorite Aunt Haley!!Lily's 4th word is.... "PAPAW" (she only whispers it).
We also got to see my good friends from high school, Judith and Morgan!

Water Baby?

Thanks to Lily's Tia Bit, we got to take her to the pool for her first official swim!
Mimi came along too.
It's hard to say what Lily thought of the water...the above expression stayed on her face pretty much the whole time.



Lily's Sweet Ride (above). This is the simplest infant float device that target had. I kid you not.

It is pretty cute though :) I think Lily had a great time, but was just really taking in this new environment. Her little legs kicked the whole time she was in her "car".

Lily loved her kiddie pool at Mimi and Papaw's too!

Epworth, Epworth Means So Much To Me....

Lily and I had a GREAT week at Epworth. The weather was a little chilly (hard to imagine, i know!) and the beaches were closed, but it was still beautiful and peaceful! Lily is a fifth generation Epworthian!



Some of the Wagners were already up at the lake, but Lily didnt get to meet everyone :( She did meet her Aunt Martha...


Aunt Nancy...




Aunt Liz....
Meredith, Uncle Kay, Uncle David....(no pictures)

...and Lucia, her first real dog friend! They were so sweet to each other - Lily loved barking at her! She barks at all animals, especially birds.


Lily LOVED being in this wicker laundry basket! She spent a lot of time in there.

This one's for you, Grandpa Kale!!

A tiny person.


This chair was Lily's cousin Kelsey's when she was little!


Aunt Martha gave Lily this cute bear! Lily still loves it and barks at it daily.

This was very special moment. The height of 5 generations of Wagners have been measured on this wall (every year when were growing)!

Poor Mimi sprained her ankle on her last night at Epworth.
We had such a grea time and miss those lake views and breezy freshness already! We cant wait for next year when Lily will really be able to take advantage of all the things to do and meet the rest of the family. And now, with no further ado, I am pleased to announce that Lily has been going to Epworth....all of her life!
