Moose Mountain



Lillian covered in dirt.


We made it! We have officially arrived on Moose Mountain. Lillie is in heaven, and it has been such a blessing to have so much help caring for Lola! Thank you all for your prayers. Although she had a bit of a setback Saturday she has finally started to show some real improvement!

Jason wasn't joking when he called my parent's property a virtual wildlife preserve in his last post. Lillie has already gotten to see so many animals. The first morning we were here she saw a deer jump over some turkeys and has enjoyed very animatedly telling everyone about it. My dad got her her very own pair of binoculars and she loves sitting out on the front porch and watching for pretty much any creature that ventures across the lawn or fields below.

 Using her new binoculars

Lola has also enjoyed a lot of time on the porch with Papa (and Mimi too)
And no, she doesn't have a mohawk. Her hair is just really dirty in this picture. =)

We are starting to settle down into a bit of a routine so this week we will hopefully be working on quite a few projects both here at my parent's and at my sister and her husband's house as well. I can't wait to show you Jamie's home office (I am so incredibly jealous - wait until you see it!) and we have quite a few tutorials that I hope we will get to start sharing later this week as long as I can stay on track.  I was able to get my camera fixed, and I purchased a new lens to replace my old one--we had a little accident at the beach involving some soda that put my camera out of commission for a few weeks =). Now that I have my camera working again I plan on showing you all our newest tutu named after Lorelei, some gorgeous shoes that Jessica from Joyfolie sent us, and some adorable hoodies from Amy of Evy's Tree. Of course, now I just have to get the girls to cooperate. As you can see from the photos, Lillie is covered in dirt from head to toe thanks to her love of the great outdoors, and that doesn't exactly go so well with photographing tutus, fancy shoes, or lacey pink hoodies!




I hope you have a wonderful week! Hopefully I will be back in a day or two with a tutorial or at least some photos of Jamie's house!

  2. I love the binocular picture, so sweet! My kiddie did the exact same thing with their grandpa when they stayed with them in Nebraska for a little over a week, just checking out the moon though, no animals. Howvawesome for Lillie! It is so fun to watch your babies get bigger and learn and discover.
    Miss Lola is a beauty too, continued prayers for her.

  3. These are so cute. Kate is looking over my shoulder and she said. Her toes are messy. messy messy!!! (as she giggles). Hope you are enjoying our time on Moose Mountain. Lola is such a beautiful baby. LOVE her big round eyes. And Lillie looks as beautiful as always (even with her cute dirty toes).

  8. The image of the two of them on the porch is precious! Needs to be a big gift print size or a canvas.

  11. Precious!! It's great when kids can "cut loose", get dirty, and enjoy life as a kid should. Enjoy it because they don't stay little very long!

  12. oh Jenni... you're Home!!! I'm so happy for you and the sweetpeas- Lillie is stunning (love the photo on the porch) and Lola is absolutley gorgeous! I am soooo happy to hear that she is doing better (you would probably be surprised to know how often she and you cross my mind). Being in NH will help too! I love knowing that you are "just down the road";) Hope to 'see' you soon!
