NC in July

I could only stay for 10 days and I made sure I enjoyed every moment with my beloved beautifulgirls!! Your mom bought you those beautiful dresses that she wanted you to wear for Easter in CA but she forgot to pack them, you two had fun just putting them on and dressing up!

Lilz, I bought you that adorable jumper, I knew it would look so cute on you, love your smile!

Bibi, we spent the day at the mall, just the two of us, your favorite lunch Subway and a treat you wanted, you were so excited to have this lolipop and then shopping for a few items!

Picture taken by Isabella, you really enjoyed taking pics:)

Lily, your mommy told me you love shoes, and so glad I was there to watch you:) That cute jumper you're wearing is one of the gifts I brought you, you look adorable!

The pic below of Bibi was one of many having a great time tumbling, dancing and giggling. The pretty pink jumper is also one of the gifts I brought!

1st Cali Reunion

Bibi, I let you pick a toy out from the Disney store and you picked an Ariel jewelry shell box with makep, jewelry and hair extensions, great choice!

Pizza with Titi and grandma:)

Fun at South Coast Plaza

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful and crazy time me and Titi had with the two of you and your mom in California. First, we picked you all up at th airport and then went to Palm Springs and spent the night at a hotel and had so much fun in the pool the next day. We went out to breakfast at Ihop too. We loved watching you girls have so much fun in the pool. Isabella would do her signature pose as we took her pictures (like a ballerina). Lily you would run all over the place like babies do and watch the people.

Lily accidentally pulled her elbow out of the socket when hanging out with Titi. That was very hard for all of us. We took you to the hospital where the doc put it back in. Your mom when in the room with you and she was so upset, but it took a second to put it in and your cried loud she said and then stopped right away when they gave you a lolipop. Poor baby:(

Then it was fun times at Disneyland. We think Isbella didn't feel good because she was very quiet but she enjoyed watching all the happenings. We loved every moment we spent with you girls. I'm so thankful we had that day together.

It was a lot of driving back and forth to different houses, but we settled down a few days in Murrieta and I enjoyed that time of just eating our meals, swimming in the pool and of course an Easter egg hunt. Your mom was sick but she took you to the park anyway and made your day special with baskets and eggs. You both looked adorable.

A Dream Come True

This picture was taken the night before I left and it shows exactly how I feel when I'm with my girls, TRUE LOVE - PURE JOY!! I was so happy I got to see you experience getting your Christmas tree and decorating it and your mommy made you hot chocolate and Isabella put in her marshmallows in her new cup I bought her. What an awesome trip I had and I can't wait until the next time:)

LOVE IT LILY!

I was glad your Uncle Daniel came to visit! He missed you both so much and enjoyed playing with you and hanging out with you in NC:)

Adorable, just had a bath and now time to get ready for the party!

This was the day before, we started with the cookies. Your mom did a great job planning and creating! Everything was delicious:)

Lily, the plan was to be there for your first birthday. Your mom and I spent the whole day before baking and decorating, I was so glad to be a part of your special day! You looked so cute in your birthday outfit and you enjoyed your day.

When I said good-bye in May, dreaming of our next time together helped me get through that very difficult time. I can see us playing and laughing and spending precious time together. Well, thank God the time finally came. I was able to visit my Bibi and Lily in November for two weeks. I counted the days, then hours.

I arrived in the evening, Lily stayed home sleeping, I could hardly wait to see you. Bibi came with mommy to pick me up at the airport. When I saw you in your car seat I was so excited I wanted to pick you up and hug and kiss you but we had to move the car. When you saw me you said "grandma" and tried to get out of your seat. We decided to drive straight home. You talked alot in the car with your same sweet gentle voice. When we got home I didn't want to let you go, hugs and kisses. The first thing you wanted to do was show me your Snow White costume, you put it on. I gave you a little gift of some tiny dolls with different colored hair that you liked. We talked and went to bed, we slept together for the first few nights. I was sooo happy:)

Lily, when I saw you the next morning you looked so big. I held you and didn't want to put you down. I don't know if you remembered me but in a short time we bonded. Awww, my Lilybug:)
