Happy New Year! And Merry Belated Christmas!
Christmas was wonderful. We had a great trip to Omaha to visit the entire Schilb clan. Lilly loved seeing her cousins and Matt and I had a blast hanging out with Matt's brother and sister-in-law.
Matt and I don't typically do New Year resolutions but this year we are doing New Life resolutions!! We have our goals written out and are excited about spending time with God and each other and bringing life and health to our bodies.
We are educating ourselves on how to eat healthier so we can teach Lilly how to make healthy choices. We're working out! We are finally finishing our One Year Bible plan together.
The mysterious case of the traveling piles
Beware! They are probably lurking around in your house, too! The pile of clothes, bills, misc things that Lilly snatched from my purse...all in a pile. It starts on the floor next to our bed, then when I start to pick up the house it moves to the bed, but as bedtime approaches it hops over to the desk! Sneaky piles...
We made a trip to Home Depot to scratch off the first thing on our New Life list - organize and declutter! We really don't need a bigger home, we need to simplify. So we built some shelves and went through a closet and a drawer to defeat the sneaky pile of stuff! Go Team!
Mini Me
Parenting is fun. It's also like having a tiny mirror. Lil really watches what I do and tries to copy me. She loves to get the broom out of the closet and drag it around. She takes washcloths and cleans the couch, coffee table, bath tub, floor...
My favorite new thing that she does is make lists. I thrive on lists. I make a list for everything - things to do today, things I need to pack for the upcoming trip, things I need to buy at the store, etc. So if I'm working on a list, Lilly will fuss until she gets her very own notebook and pen and she'll waddle around pretending to write.
"I need a pen NOW!!"

Fun times with GG.
Stopping by to see Uncle Will at work. He gives her rides in the rolly chair.
Extreme Teething. Lilly snatched a frozen meal from the freezer and ran to the living room to gnaw. Her gums must hurt really bad to be that desperate.
Matt: "Where can we go have fun where we won't spend any money?"
Jill: "Pet store!"
She climbed in here all by herself. Fortunately she fit perfectly and didn't get stuck.
Mommy's hat. I accidentally threw hers away :(
