Lily

Hard to believe Lily is 8 yrs old now! Seems like yesterday she was Lia's size.  Now she's in 3rd grade, how'd that happen?  She is doing really well in school.  We got a letter from the school district that she's been recommended as a possible candidate for the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program.  She'll be screened and then we'll make a decision whether or not to put her in the program.  Not an easy decision since that means she would change schools, which something we've been doing our best to avoid.
Anyway, here's a picture of her with her birthday cake... this is what she requested (style-wise).

Riley wanted to be in the shot too lol

We had a slight incident last night that involved Riley slamming Lily's finger in the door.  Lucky for you, I am not going to post a picture of that.  She'll definitely be losing a fingernail.  That is an experience I hope not to go through again!
So that's the catch-up with Lily.  Halloween pictures are coming next :)
