The mouth wide open in amazement is just a delight to look at :) Those swimming shot are great! I love that you took a step back and really git her in "action". I am SO impressed with what she is doing in the pool. Go Lily! And well done to Eli- says a lot about his personality that he just got in there and did it! The BLW photos are so adorable! Miles looks so happy to be a part of the family table. How wonderful that you are all together at meal times now. Love that "Sibling-involvement" BLW photo - so funny!

So many beautiful pictures this week. I actually adore 'My Little Athlete' though I am not usually a fan of this technique you used it brilliantly. And Lily's smile is just uplifting. It's so plain to see that you are raising wonderful people that will make the world a nicer place to be just by being in it. May blessings rain down on Lily and all of you all the days of your lives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565976784255470989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-23788484663668634292013-08-01T22:18:06.899+10:002013-08-01T22:18:06.899+10:00Loved reading all your news.
