I haven’t been able to see my niece since christmas so I was looking forward to this canada day more than usual.

I woke up that morning to find that lily had found her way into our bed. she had positioned herself lengthwise across the bed with her feet planted firmly on the bottom of my spine. my pillow was under her head and she was softly snoring away, oblivious to the pain we were in.

uncle kevin got to make her breakfast, give her a bath, brush her hair and then get her dressed and ready for our big day. she got to take a few trips around the carousel with grandpa and then an exciting train ride. we ended our perfect day with a fire by the river, smores with organic chocolate and everything.

a week before they came my mother in law said that lily seems to be getting cuter with every passing day. how could we disagree?
