Up, Up, and AWAY!!!

It's a rare thing to have a full UNINTERRUPTED day home with Frank. There are either phones ringing, computers on, places to be, things to be fixed, hobbies to play with, time alone in his garage (aka man cave) chores to do, etc... etc...
but this particular day, (after spending the previous one at the hospital with the rest of the fam) we had no other distractions so we just devoted the day to "family time" and it was probably one of the best days ever! Towars the late afternoon we took Lilley to the park in our neighborhood and decided she was ready to try out the swing... As you can see by the expression on her face, IT WAS A HIT! She smiled and laughed pretty much the entire time. I guess it was to be expected though, she adores her swing at home, has since the minute we first put her in it, and she likes the highest setting. She laughed everytime i'd push her and say "up, up, and away." We took turns pushing her while the other played with buddy. We still try to include him in as much as possible so he doesn't feel left out. Here are just a few shots from her first swing experience.







Then after 45 minutes or so on the swing, nap time crept up on us, and the little one began to melt down as we call it in our house... she was done, and ready for bed. After about 6 minutes with daddy, she was passed out in the stroller for the walk home.
