Thanksgiving

The Hicks and Brown families have had many things to be thankful for this year - especially the last eleven months with Lila. Holidays are always special but Lila seems to make them more fun! We spent Thanksgiving at her Great Grandma Mary's house in Ridgecrest. Lila Mary is named after her Great Grandma. They were both really happy to spend those two weeks together.

Hey Stranger

Lila & Stuey

Introducing Stuey

Lila has a new pal to play with. We adopted Stuey a few weeks ago. He's just over two months old so Lila is no longer the baby in the house...

All Rise!

So, a few days ago I heard a very loud BAM! BAM! coming from Lila's room. I thought she was napping but it turns out she was wide awake. Time to drop the mattress!

Goats

We went to the Oakland Zoo last week with Stella and Maggie. Lila saw lots of animals but actually touched a few goats and took a picture with the elephants. Good times.

Flagstaff, AZ

We visited Flagstaff two weeks ago to attend Tim & Julie's wedding. Lila loved hanging out in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard!
