Busy Weekend

Last Friday my Great, Great Aunt Lill passed away. She would have turned 100 on Saturday. She is in a much better place and she has wanted to go for quite a long time. She was always witty and kind. She had the most beautiful skin too. We got to see a lot of family this weekend (some I don't think I've seen since I was little) because we were going to celebrate her birthday...but instead we honored her memory with a nice memorial service. This picture was taken last year when Mallory was only 2 months old...right before Aunt Lill's 99th birthday.

Rest in Peace Aunt Lill 9/29/1907 - 9/28/2007
















Last Thursday Mallory and I went to lunch w/ my friend Natalie. We had a blast and got to see her new pad:) Mallory LOVED her dog but at the same time was afraid of it.














I decided to get Mallory's cowboy boots out last Friday to see if they fit (they are a size 5 and she is in 4 right now)...she was so cute in them I had to show her off. So we went to Nana's work and paraded her around.
Here she is begging for a Dumb Dumb




















She is signing please. She's getting good at doing her baby sign. It's nice to know what she wants w/out her whining all the time.




















Liberty's Fall Festival was this weekend. We had a great time. We got to dance to music and eat a funnel cake (the only reason why I wanted to go) and Mallory got to ride her 1st carousel and down a BIG slide.
I was holding onto her really tight because she kept slipping















Notice the death grip I have on her clothes















Dad won Mallory a couple of prizes...he's our 'he man'




















We went down this slide...I was contemplating on doing it and about crapped my pants when I got to the top and really saw how steep it was. But we braved it and went down anyway. I think I caught air on some of the bumps. Look at Mallory's face...it's so funny. I don't think she enjoyed it too much.















She conked out before we even went around the block.




















Sunday we met my dad for dinner at Sonic before he left to go back to Illinois. It was nice to see so much family this weekend. In a couple of weeks we are going to have a more formal memorial service for Aunt Lill.
