Fall Pics

We're moving next week, so here are some recent fall pics to get you through until I regain computer control in our new place.

Accessorizing

Every girl needs to know how to accessorize, so I'm getting an early start. I put this little ensemble together all by myself.

Ride the Pony....or Elephant

My one request for daddy coming home was to "ride the pony" i.e. a request for a carousel ride. This was a long-anticipated event that I talked about for weeks prior to daddy coming home. I'm sure you can't tell my excitement from this picture.



It's always hard to decide which animal to ride. This time I gave the elephant a whirl.



I liked it so much that a couple of days later I rode this one:



Thank God for Six Flags Animal Kingdom.

Daddy's Home!!!

Daddy's return from his deployment was much more eventful for me this year than last year. The difference? I can talk.....so you know what's going through my head. For thirty plus minutes in a bus full of silent strangers, this is what I had to say as I waited for my daddy's plane to land:

"Where's daddy?"
"One airplane. Two airplane. Three airplane....."
"Where daddy go?"
"See daddy." "I want to see daddy."
"Where's daddy?"
"Daddy's coming home. Daddy's coming home!"

Finally the wait was over.

So Much to Say

Well folks, here we are. Once again, I've taken a hiatus only to return with a plethera of information and pictures for you. I'll try to catch you up. For starters, daddy's been gone for the last 2.5 months and mommy (who usually helps me blog) hasn't been herself. For the longest time after daddy left she would just lay around or always be going to the bathroom. Turns out there's a baby on the way and I'm going to be a BIG SISTER. Now daddy's home again, mommy's feeling better and all is well with Lydia's world. We've had some exciting adventures this past week, so stay tuned for more blogging.

While Daddy was away mommy and I went back to NC for a couple of weeks. I had a blast hanging out with the grandparents and my aunts, uncles, and cousins.
