Missing Dad...And Posting

This blog started as my "Waiting for Lily" journal, and then sort of morphed into Lily's baby book, and now is more or less our family scrapbook.  I have a TERRIBLE memory and I love having this blog as a way to look back and remember things.

It seems like since Dad died I'm having a really hard time posting.  I can't explain why, but it's true.  I think it's partly because it's proof that time marches on - and part of me hates that.  It's also partly because I miss talking to Dad and sharing with him about my life.   A day rarely went by when Dad and I didn't speak.  We talked about everything and nothing.  Some days we'd be on the phone forever.  Other times it would just be a quick, "Hey, how're you?"  Either way I miss those phone calls and Dad desperately.

What I also know is if I stop posting I'll miss that, too.  Years from now I want to be able and look back at all the fun we had and how much our sweet Lily has grown.

Speaking of fun and how fast time is flying, a few weekends ago Tony, Lily, and I went to Deep Creek to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary.  We had a wonderful time!  We are participating in Park Quest again this year and loved hiking, canoeing, swimming, and "questing" in several of the different parks in Western Maryland.  We also ate in great restaurants, stayed in a friend's beautiful home, and enjoyed some much needed family time.













I hope to start posting more regularly again.  Taking time to write about all the wonderful, happy moments in our lives will be good therapy!

If you don't post more timely, how am I supposed to know I forgotten your anniversary again? Love you, mean it.
