Lily is a good apple peeler

Saturday we went apple picking with some friends. After nap, Lily helped me make a pie. She was a very good apple peeler!

So much so in fact, that I let her peel a few extra, and the pie looked like this:

Until I moved some of the apples into a baking dish to bake separately.

All Dressed Up for Yom Kippur

Here are some pictures of us all dressed up for Yom Kippur.

Maryland v. Morgan State Football

Saturday was the first football game of the season. Lily enjoyed tailgating before the game with me, Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy, Howie, Beth, Benjamin and Eli. She also loved seeing the band play before the game and clapping when Maryland had a good play.

"I love tailgating!"

"Grandma, what is the band doing now?"

Playing with Cousins

At the family reunion, Lily loved meeting and playing with her cousins. Here are some of the highlights.

"Cousin Naomi, you are a good piano player."

"This is a fun sand pit, Cousin Richard."

"Thank you for doing my nails, Cousin Ryna."

"Cousin Julia, I love arts and crafts!"

"Swinging with Cousins Emily and Julia."

Family Reunion

Last weekend, we attended Sarah's family reunion at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling West Virginia. Lily had a great time visiting her cousins and playing all over the resort.

"An Aunt Rachel and Mommy hug!"

"There are so many things to do at this park!"

"The Family!"

"We're riding the train, Papa J"

Bananas In Our Ears

One of Lily's favorite Sesame Street skits involves Bert trying to talk to Ernie, but Ernie has a banana in his ear.

Tonight, Lily found two play-food bananas and began reenacting the skit, and made Sarah do it with her.

Big Girl Room and Big Girl Bed

On Monday night, Lily moved into her "Big Girl" room (the yellow bedroom) and slept in her big girl bed for the first time. You will recognize many of the decorations from her old room.
