Dear Lili:
We just got back from a fun family weekend near Rhinebeck, NY. We stayed at a beautiful house. Really my total dream country house. A mix of old and new and a wonderful yard for you to run free in.
We had good friends up for the night and made a delicious meal. You were such a cute little girl and so excited to be in a new place. You were VERY excited that we made a little bed for you in a corner nook in our room which you called, “my cute little bed area”. We love that you go with the flow Lils and really do enjoy new experiences.
You went on your first apple picking and pumpkin picking adventure and were SO into it!!!! You were such a good apple spotter in the trees. And to teach you how to twist an apple off a branch we sang a song (to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat) “Twist Twist Twistie Twist – Twist Your Apple Today – Twist Twist Twist Twist – Twist Your Apple Today”. You totally got it and started singing away as you picked your own apples.
You kept saying the most excited and most positive things, “Mom, what a beautiful day!” and “I love this pumpkin patch” and “Picking apples is so fun Mom”, etc. You are my little ray of sunshine darling – even on our hardest days.
We love you Lils and each day together as a family we are truly grateful for.

Beautiful girls!
The cheeriness is just gorgeous. Jasper is fond of saying “The sun is shining bright – it’s a beautiful day!” – he’s quoting one of his Maisy books.
She and Olivia are totally cut from the same sunshine-y cloth. It’s awesome.
