Today, we started the day with breakfast and the Swan Room...a big playroom here at the White Swan. We started in our overalls and again Lillie found the pockets to be quite handy. Next we were off to church at the Shaiman Christ Church...Lillie lasted about 45 to 50 minutes before preparing to melt down, so we returns to our hotel(outfit #2). After our nap, we put on one of her new dresses to have pictures made on the red couch! She looked beautiful and actually handled it fairly well, but I must say 7 toddlers on a couch is not an easy feat! We survived and took a walk afterward (outfit #3) On a side note, Lillie also decided she needed a purse to carry things around in! What a girl. Finally we went to dinner with the group and came back to the room to play and get ready for bed (outfit #4 and later PJ's) Can you say fashion queen!
PS...Aunt Judy, I think we have another Bare Escentials girl...thats what she is doing in the pictures with me...using my Kabuki brush!

A girl after my own heart - I LOVE pockets! As you well know, I also love my Bare Escentuals. Now I know who to give all those crazy eye shadow shades to! You guys look like you have been together forever, and Lillie looks more content each day. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. We are counting down the days until you are back home.
Love, Meg
45 to 50 minutes is pretty good. At least with a toddlers laundry they are small and you can get a lot of outfits in a load. Wait until the sizes change and they still want or need to change so much. Laundry piles just grow! Love and prayers to you all.
I drank my tea out of a panda cup with bamboo on it in honor of Lillie this morning!
Looks like you are having a great time enjoying another culture!
Have more fun!
I think 45 -50 mins is terrific, I'm ready to leave after 30, so she has me beat!!
The hotel is really pretty, looks like a nice place to stay a few days.
Lillie seems to be such a "girlie girl" we may have our work cut out to make her a Camp WaKonDaHo Sweetheart!! Although the facination with overall pockets is a good start.

Well, of course she loves pockets, I do too! you need pockets for your chapstick (or Burts Bees)
and as you well know, I love my Bare Escentuals too! Lillie is proving to be more and more like "us" (her relatives) every day =)
LOVE the blue China girl outfit, it looks soooo pretty on her.
And... could you possibly bring home that house thing in the last pic for Jasper, looks like something he would LOVE!
Give Lillie a big HUG and KISS from me, Of course, I loved her the minute I first saw her picture last year, but I'm loving her more and more with each picture as we can see more of her personality...
I just want to squeeze the stuffing out of her =) =) =)
andrea--i've just gotten back from mission trip and seeing your updates has absolutely made my day. i'm so, so glad lillie is finally in your arms. i love you and cannot wait for you all to be HOME! --julie
More great pictures!!!! Sorry I mised you on skype this morning but I'll be back tomorrow. All of the pics are great but Lillie looks like the true princess she is in that blue dress. And....Pat looks pretty good too!!! Hey, you all look good!! Counting the hours till you get home. You can not imagine how much I miss you all and that includes Lillie who I have yet to meet. Hugs are ready..lips are puckered...
Love,
Dad(Pop Pop to yon Princess)
Just saw today's wonderful pictures. You can worship a lot in 45 minutes (paraphrased from the Disciples handbook, I'm sure!)
And four outfits a day - hey, that's ok. Look like a good time for all!
Love and prayers,
Aunt Anna
It is so clear that each day together has given the three of you more confidence, joy and trust in each other.
The seventh picture in today's album showing Lillie in her blue dress, outside, with the palm tree in the background, is beautiful. I'd like to have a copy to put in an album next to a picture I took of her Mommy years ago.
Obviously, "Pop Pop" is almost beside himself with the happiness he feels in anticipating your arrival. It's a good thing he has only a couple more days to wait!
A hug for everybody.
Roberta
