"Second verse, same as the first."

You'll notice that this post-Thanksgiving post has no Thanksgiving pics. This is due to the fact that our little pumpkin pie had a wicked case of croup and looked a sweet shade of pale with dark purple bags under her eyes. We enjoyed a nice low-key time at Papa & Grandma's house though. We also were glad to be home with Lily while she was sick. The old wives tail is totally true- at night I bundled her up in blankets and we sat on the front step looking at the moon and listening to the stillness of 1 in the morning. Her breathing would change from labored gasping to silent sighing within minutes.
Here we are on a visit to the zoo: They've started letting people back up top to see the dolphins, even though they still aren't doing shows. We were able to watch them jump in the back tank, looked like they were getting restless. Bjorn got reprimanded for putting his hand in the tank. I'm glad Lily isn't the only one who can get into trouble.



Lily really enjoys pushing the stroller around, now that she is a "big girl". It reminded me of a trip we took to the zoo just before her 1st birthday when she was just learning to walk, and was also feeling like a big girl!

What a difference a year and a half makes!

For the first time ever, she was really interested in the splash pool, with the starfish & other critters floating around. Or maybe it was just about splashing and getting wet. : )

Bjorn and I have realized that we are that family that likes to get treats when we are out, and I don't think Lily is ashamed of that one bit!

Lily took a spin at the Mall Carousel with Auntie Erin, who realized that thing spins a lot faster than it looks.

November has been a crazy month- we were able to visit the park right up till the end.

Can't wait to see oh what fun December brings!
