It is raining and I am in my PJ's curled up on my chair. Dave and Ella are putting together a puzzle in the kitchen and baby Lily is still sleeping!!! SHHH don't ruin the moment. I want to share a little of our last few weeks. I have to say that for the first time in many years I loved every minute of this Holiday Season. I think I have finally clued in to what I believe might very well be the key to keeping the "Magic" of Christmas- SIMPLICITY!!!!- I stayed out of the hustle and bustle this year, prepared early and just enjoyed the music, lights and joys of Christmas with Dave and the girls.<br /><br />We spent Christmas in Arizona with Nana and Papa. Although there was not much relaxation as we were to follow Nana's itinerary to the minute, but we sure had fun. Here is a little recap of the week.<br /><br />*Early morning breakfast at Uncle Jeff and Cindy's<br />*Christmas Rescue from the Arizona fire department (daddy locked Lil in the car). All the cousins had a great time getting a tour of the fire truck!<br />*Gingerbread making competition<br /> Team 1- Nana, Papa and all the grand kids<br /> Team 2- Uncle Shane and Aunt Shirell, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Cindy, Dave and I<br /> We thought team 2 had it in the bag as our house was awesome and equipped with a dog house, balcony, lake, swing and recessed lighting in a serene forest setting. Well let me just say that there is no way Team 1 did not have professional assistance from Martha Stewart. There house was magical and amazing. We know that they must have secretly been working on it for two weeks. Ya whatever!<br />*We divided into teams then off to Walmart to take the dollars we earned from doing good deeds for each other for the last few weeks, and bought gifts. We chose gifts for the other team members based on their favorite things or things that brought up memories. The gifts were not extravagant or expensive (they were from Walmart mind you) but I have to say they were special and a lot of fun to receive.<br />* Home to Nana and Papas for a little tree decorating and a yummy Christmas eve dinner.<br />*Christmas stories ended the evening and off to bed we went in hopes that Santa would come to our house.<br />*SANTA DID COME and brought with him a REAL puppy for Ella. She was so excited she could hardly stand it. Lil just loved being in box that he arrived in!<br />* The rest of Christmas was all about ROCKBAND!!!!! We rocked all day and all night (and well the day and night after that as well).<br /><br />There is nothing better then the holidays with little ones. Everything we did and saw was according to Ella a "Christmas Miracle!"Dave, Jen, Ella and Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02177540186260911051noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048118009914346654.post-24323618246878585422008-11-11T20:57:00.000-08:002008-11-11T21:11:34.280-08:00Beachin It<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXrTdw-DY4VZzolb6C3jUvE_NHU1aBDDBdtBDpxEpOiKzK9OLDz9JxV9nqvV11MwI_NeUi6P_fqBcyC9F7ZAAK8NktPJ5PH12g75aVT0KBbLvS6O1Hz0yf-rKabSo1NoVUE78q5bODTK7z/s1600-h/IMG_2779.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXrTdw-DY4VZzolb6C3jUvE_NHU1aBDDBdtBDpxEpOiKzK9OLDz9JxV9nqvV11MwI_NeUi6P_fqBcyC9F7ZAAK8NktPJ5PH12g75aVT0KBbLvS6O1Hz0yf-rKabSo1NoVUE78q5bODTK7z/s200/IMG_2779.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267634077724477538" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXqMDUI3QUw-haajmIUaLgbt-mh2J1zcF6oHtj0-VwF7UY15R4WN67xRviaIVcif3qTu_8X4C0smKp5pd84UJruy26Tb6aXQxmc3f8jlc-UZ2F-K2g-Jkoi3THylDVeQ8RPy5zagZq1jds/s1600-h/IMG_2702.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXqMDUI3QUw-haajmIUaLgbt-mh2J1zcF6oHtj0-VwF7UY15R4WN67xRviaIVcif3qTu_8X4C0smKp5pd84UJruy26Tb6aXQxmc3f8jlc-UZ2F-K2g-Jkoi3THylDVeQ8RPy5zagZq1jds/s200/IMG_2702.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267633348362635282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidI_2hFc4BBcwoNQyxb__MBWcljIYaR_n4wdnB6Z-re4tlUUuMzOI-NgVw7hnaNxL0GN12-AA6fLHCmnnD74tM7UPuMSnc2LmiZbnJpGx42EDnt3xlQ9YAYTmmfyqDu8vfTqS99C4nfkMI/s1600-h/IMG_2541.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidI_2hFc4BBcwoNQyxb__MBWcljIYaR_n4wdnB6Z-re4tlUUuMzOI-NgVw7hnaNxL0GN12-AA6fLHCmnnD74tM7UPuMSnc2LmiZbnJpGx42EDnt3xlQ9YAYTmmfyqDu8vfTqS99C4nfkMI/s200/IMG_2541.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267632960899355586" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6owbvACAvzPWAwMVHnNEZhrtT4_Z0xwHdtp44Rhs8w_lYRMSQvy1gn-_PsxAf20_iSUChbigwF_5O_q7wIWKzF5u9zidti4-IC9brDLR35XOq4u15_2wrSiHbP5dsMGTEL24HXJPa_HFh/s1600-h/IMG_2770.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6owbvACAvzPWAwMVHnNEZhrtT4_Z0xwHdtp44Rhs8w_lYRMSQvy1gn-_PsxAf20_iSUChbigwF_5O_q7wIWKzF5u9zidti4-IC9brDLR35XOq4u15_2wrSiHbP5dsMGTEL24HXJPa_HFh/s200/IMG_2770.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267633902099066866" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhbQprPftLqmQL6CQ3-llT286InJTMZ5BPHRA54YYlNbuCkxmBfOyJrAVCuIF9f01op-PinTZOL1wb3nL1eWPSV3p8x1R7KpJH6TeWLvBhZ1z3TdMXdVw3P-U_PcIRYwj7UEEkN2ih0zWH/s1600-h/IMG_2644.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhbQprPftLqmQL6CQ3-llT286InJTMZ5BPHRA54YYlNbuCkxmBfOyJrAVCuIF9f01op-PinTZOL1wb3nL1eWPSV3p8x1R7KpJH6TeWLvBhZ1z3TdMXdVw3P-U_PcIRYwj7UEEkN2ih0zWH/s200/IMG_2644.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267632792213689618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi2GL2askXvoAWKTsGqPkNkUdjQGSQDjNBt4sFBNZbm0LDbRhn4IYoo-8INYG8NMFsK8Mmt3gILS6LWhF_zkoxBJ6hJBWGkzIJrrJYdW1BkXtbFQFUjRHB3nK_vzbx5KteWnbjxBqS7T6B/s1600-h/IMG_2680.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi2GL2askXvoAWKTsGqPkNkUdjQGSQDjNBt4sFBNZbm0LDbRhn4IYoo-8INYG8NMFsK8Mmt3gILS6LWhF_zkoxBJ6hJBWGkzIJrrJYdW1BkXtbFQFUjRHB3nK_vzbx5KteWnbjxBqS7T6B/s200/IMG_2680.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267632779779799858" border="0" /></a><br />We spent the last few days in a beach house in San Diego. It was so great to just spend time with family and hang out. We had a fun time visiting with Uncle Mike and Aunt Sandy (who now live in San Diego woo hoo!!!) Nana, Papa, and Aunt and Uncle Shirane went as well. We spent our days relishing in the sun at the beach, playing games and just chillin out. The girls loved it!!!!Dave, Jen, Ella and Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02177540186260911051noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048118009914346654.post-10518049717956299662008-11-11T20:45:00.000-08:002008-11-11T20:56:51.977-08:00Little Bo Peep and her Sheep<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLbRvzlnwzkBXyVu5JnVVCKE6bW4H8gQzsmaHF5mKXByig6ymfH7Y4uiwZPkZBI8XwFbc77bkYmp7vAEnUc-s3_V3OpuZRsyemU1bB2AiKMoCBX3od9qHBVH0XBAXMmewDCiv3akyCD0o0/s1600-h/IMG_2495.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLbRvzlnwzkBXyVu5JnVVCKE6bW4H8gQzsmaHF5mKXByig6ymfH7Y4uiwZPkZBI8XwFbc77bkYmp7vAEnUc-s3_V3OpuZRsyemU1bB2AiKMoCBX3od9qHBVH0XBAXMmewDCiv3akyCD0o0/s320/IMG_2495.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267630396403611154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfu5m97CfSRuhgfTxCtMPYlwabpYUEP5edssi7UKhpQrDd_72yLhCmlEyceJLgvkjJqb16Te0K1At-21P2rVbYbzpNqeu9q5AC6_p0PMl1fFhxlcqL7txsIymzJLA81JSUcqXKcyjn6Y6v/s1600-h/IMG_2311.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfu5m97CfSRuhgfTxCtMPYlwabpYUEP5edssi7UKhpQrDd_72yLhCmlEyceJLgvkjJqb16Te0K1At-21P2rVbYbzpNqeu9q5AC6_p0PMl1fFhxlcqL7txsIymzJLA81JSUcqXKcyjn6Y6v/s320/IMG_2311.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267629708464822722" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMnVidf-Pf2uYqnLShMq2S7RZ7sehs57aWwS2TBiX1VMl2GSk2K5PIIeTuHnIkWgslt4ZyrjaYMJlc256jUyLSLTUfD1xWdOFOn8QxpFu1z32XhhZyDKED70QtwIWE8hZjaQ4hpXcozmNT/s1600-h/IMG_2486.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMnVidf-Pf2uYqnLShMq2S7RZ7sehs57aWwS2TBiX1VMl2GSk2K5PIIeTuHnIkWgslt4ZyrjaYMJlc256jUyLSLTUfD1xWdOFOn8QxpFu1z32XhhZyDKED70QtwIWE8hZjaQ4hpXcozmNT/s320/IMG_2486.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267628395056762866" border="0" /></a><br />We LOVE Halloween!

Ms Lily turned 6 months old today! We are so excited as now we can set a date to officially make her ours for all eternity!!!! She is now crawling all over (actually it is more of a slither action). She is active and really happy to explore and finally be mobile. We are in for it now!<br /><br />Ella Bleu had her first day of Pre-School this week. She loves attending school and as Dave and I found out at Back to School Night, she is trying to Run the school as well. Not surprising.<br /><br />Dave won a prestigious award at work for all of his efforts on the new exploration center in our city. Its a really cool facility where students can learn about environmental issues such as green energy, recycling your carbon footprint etc... We are very proud of him.<br /><br />The studio started up for our 08/09 season and it has been busy. I am really looking forward to the projects and opportunity this next season will bring. It will be a busy but fun year!Dave, Jen, Ella and Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02177540186260911051noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048118009914346654.post-10271392222310635072008-07-30T12:09:00.000-07:002008-12-11T13:58:33.445-08:00Summer 08<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYttzKVpqceWz9GFCaxxh-6dOL1KO4jjSnqvTTSA-eiuM_6XrSJdvDs-TZgLTV_gPhtMLfS3zuYTvkDb90mhMjXMh9skBvpMaeTlasoxOYABHgVFEbwkpsn2f4K7F0CPCYdUG8X59MZpkB/s1600-h/NCDC+Intensive+022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228894726779388466" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYttzKVpqceWz9GFCaxxh-6dOL1KO4jjSnqvTTSA-eiuM_6XrSJdvDs-TZgLTV_gPhtMLfS3zuYTvkDb90mhMjXMh9skBvpMaeTlasoxOYABHgVFEbwkpsn2f4K7F0CPCYdUG8X59MZpkB/s320/NCDC+Intensive+022.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcdhiiVOPV2UlOI41H3viEb4DiJub_bqRHdGBkFtwFuuNzAcyV6kcboL31SB7IJPn5tGIRmCUD-CMI1buTgTiHBN0R60x35pugOt-aq5lYGGTCEBrzsxKQUarE4rslg4yyjnoRPnwJXbDs/s1600-h/NCDC+Intensive+091.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228894735389018994" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcdhiiVOPV2UlOI41H3viEb4DiJub_bqRHdGBkFtwFuuNzAcyV6kcboL31SB7IJPn5tGIRmCUD-CMI1buTgTiHBN0R60x35pugOt-aq5lYGGTCEBrzsxKQUarE4rslg4yyjnoRPnwJXbDs/s320/NCDC+Intensive+091.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>I am not really good at keeping up this blog so I will wrap up our summer in this entry.<br /></div><div>The summer has gone by much too quickly around here. I was very busy with work and when I wasn't working just running around with Dave and the girls. Kenzie and Alex came to stay with us for two weeks so Ella had a blast playing with her cousins. Ella spent her mornings at Picasso and Safari camp (which she loved by the way). There were days she came home as a painted canvas herself. Then the afternoons and evenings were full of summer fun. We had two weeks to get in as much fun and excitement as we could and we did a pretty good job.<br /></div><div>Lily is developing quite the personality and is as sweet as can be. She is 5 months old now. She is calm and loves to cuddle. She easily adapts to our busy crazy lives and is just the happiest baby every. She loves attention but is also content playing with her toys and just watching the world around her. </div><br /><div>Dave is doing great. He loves his job and his girls. When he is not working he is playing princess, puppies or baker. He leaves in a few weeks for his annual guys hike. (I think he might feel a little naked without his princess fairy wand or stuffed puppy Ella insists he play with daily).<br /></div><div>As for my summer I had the opportunity to meet Dwana Smallwood one of the most beautiful and renowned dancers of our time as she came out to teach at my intensive so that was exciting for me. I produced a show at the Mondavi Center in Davis and just enjoyed my girls. I am beginning to understand why everyone always says to enjoy each moment as they pass too quickly. There were many moments this summer I just wanted to freeze so that I could enjoy them much longer. I am leaving for France for work for 10 days and am so sad to leave Dave and the girls but I have a feeling they are all a little excited to have run of the house while I am gone!</div><br /><div>So in a nut shell all is well with the Bradfords. We are happy, healthy and busy as ever!<br /></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div>Dave, Jen, Ella and Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02177540186260911051noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048118009914346654.post-62386211045557784802008-05-30T15:33:00.000-07:002008-12-11T13:58:33.821-08:00Mothers day PhotosThe girls took photos to give to me on Mothers Day.

We are never mommy daddy and Ella but characters in the fantasy land of Ella Bleu. She is ALWAYS in character. She also makes sure that everyone around is also in character. We don't have to worry about not knowing our part as she feeds us our cues line by line. We do have to be careful as she tends to change the scene without giving us prior notice and we are expected to join her immediately in her new world.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">The other day she came up to me huddled over walking like an old lady and holding a pretend apple. I didn't understand until she read her line. "Hello My pretty would you like to eat this delicious apple?" I am getting pretty good at impromtu scenes so I pretended to take a bite and fall down to my death. I then heard "Ella" say I'll be right back. I stayed poisened on the floor until her return but it was not the wicked witch whom I expected but Prince Eric who had a quick costume change into my bright yellow rain boots (she believes they magically make her a prince). He bent down on one knee and gave me a kiss. I of course awakened by true love's kiss hugged him and we walzed around the house during our wedding.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">Never a dull moment!</span>Dave, Jen, Ella and Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02177540186260911051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048118009914346654.post-12167371208771417172008-04-19T22:06:00.000-07:002008-12-11T13:58:34.601-08:00Lily's Blessing Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkV7KY37xBZpHvfcnMBbMmsmyLU9rqzwS_xHknFNZ59xAtR7TJVCNsFc27VA5OGA8ChjbVlWDVUUn4b7E5_D6JgGawzqCsSwK2XxAYEBJb7g2_zKqPyaPr_x8-xL4vnTLWELySEBAN4rr4/s1600-h/4-08+173.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkV7KY37xBZpHvfcnMBbMmsmyLU9rqzwS_xHknFNZ59xAtR7TJVCNsFc27VA5OGA8ChjbVlWDVUUn4b7E5_D6JgGawzqCsSwK2XxAYEBJb7g2_zKqPyaPr_x8-xL4vnTLWELySEBAN4rr4/s320/4-08+173.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191191506761579538" border="0" /></a><br />Lily was blessed last Sunday. It was a wonderful day for the Bradford family. David gave her a beautiful blessing and we were surrounded with family and friends to celebrate with us.<br /><br />She is almost 6 weeks old and is developing and growing every day. She is so sweet and LOVES to be held and cuddled. She is alert for her age and spends most of the day with bright eyes just taking in this new world. She has always been a good sleeper but last night she was great! She slept through the night for the first time.

It was an amazing wedding. Nana was quite the wedding coordinator. It was a coincidence for us that the wedding and the Lily's due date were within the same week in Mesa but really worked out for the best. The wedding helped us to take some of the nervousness we felt with the adoption away as we targeted our energies as we were surrounded by the festivities of the wedding. </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">So many family and friends made the trek to AZ to share in this wonderful day. Shirell looked beautiful!!! It was a party to say the least and we all had a great time. We wish Shirell and Shane a lifetime of happiness and love.</span>Dave, Jen, Ella and Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02177540186260911051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048118009914346654.post-43136596461927432062008-03-27T22:16:00.000-07:002008-12-11T13:58:34.818-08:00Ella Bleu<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdH-Fi3hQMpCE4gcM4nYJQsqtXjkuWiKXobfik0_3DRim_Vn6t3Rkli2QKBUZpY6holkLQucrupnFvKw4mQ0nZg1KpbZWLfgAj6He35lGlRDr3FkKNtZnEb98KLbNqKsPVvLVOhfrWYB0/s1600-h/Lilly,+Ella+X+mas,+Shirane+wedding+004.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdH-Fi3hQMpCE4gcM4nYJQsqtXjkuWiKXobfik0_3DRim_Vn6t3Rkli2QKBUZpY6holkLQucrupnFvKw4mQ0nZg1KpbZWLfgAj6He35lGlRDr3FkKNtZnEb98KLbNqKsPVvLVOhfrWYB0/s320/Lilly,+Ella+X+mas,+Shirane+wedding+004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183029203286560466" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-family:georgia;" >Ms Ella Bleu is now 2 1/2 going on 10. She is very smart and has quite the imagination. Every day she wakes up and is a different animal or princess. Today she came into my room to wake me up with a "Good Morning Mama blue bird, I am baby blue bird". Yesterday it was baby snake, the day before that baby elephant. She has a strange OBSESSION with puppies. She has at least 100 stuffed puppies as we can't leave them in the store as they will be "sad, cold and hungry." We can't let that happen now can we? She does have her favorite Perro that papa got her in SF. He goes EVERYWHERE with her. We have 3 backup replicas in the closet but we can't fool her. She wants the one and only. Ella and I are working on a plan to get her a real one but daddy is pretty hard to crack. Its just a matter of time.....</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-family:georgia;" >She loves her ballet classes and playing dress up with every princess dress ever made. She really is not quite sure about this new baby Lily and recently asked when she was going home. She is very independent, incredibly stubborn, sensitive and sweet. </span>Dave, Jen, Ella and Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02177540186260911051noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048118009914346654.post-52204263482412393392008-03-27T21:56:00.000-07:002008-12-11T13:58:52.121-08:00Sweet Baby Lily<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoj8smKymFp16vuAWfNn_niNCiGM_Up9a4STJZK30C-RhfwVtICTck3aHypNFD7j4pzx-fyjFIFoHyjZYFmQgw2W6_-ZTL5j-pRLX_vbzLF43mBHi2a3D4hz0qRQTwlCjQ16ArJ03qf8YO/s1600-h/Lilly,+Ella+X+mas,+Shirane+wedding+139.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoj8smKymFp16vuAWfNn_niNCiGM_Up9a4STJZK30C-RhfwVtICTck3aHypNFD7j4pzx-fyjFIFoHyjZYFmQgw2W6_-ZTL5j-pRLX_vbzLF43mBHi2a3D4hz0qRQTwlCjQ16ArJ03qf8YO/s320/Lilly,+Ella+X+mas,+Shirane+wedding+139.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183030246963613410" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">March 6th 2008 Lillian Paige Bradford came into this world. Dave Ella and Jen waited in Arizona for 3.5 weeks waiting for her to be born. We were very lucky to be able to stay with Nana and Papa while we waited for her birth. </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">She was very stubborn and waited until she was good and ready to come out (9 days in the hospital). We were so happy when she finally came to meet us and well it was well worth the wait! She weighed 6lbs 13oz and was 21" long. As you can see she has so much hair and is just perfect. We were able to bring her home a few days later and what a wonderful day that was. She is an amazingly good baby and sleeps almost through the night! She loves to be held and is getting a little spoiled by everyone. But really we can't help it.</span>Dave, Jen, Ella and Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02177540186260911051noreply@blogger.com0
