Doctor's Daughter...

Growing up I never really knew what my Dad did, I knew we has a doctor (a foot doctor to be exact), and that in general people liked and respected him both personally and professional. I can remember laying in bed while in middle and high school on a Saturday or Sunday morning and having the phone ring EARLY....rolling over to answer it, only to have someone asking for Dr. Hoover because they were in pain. Man did I hate those calls, I could never get back to sleep (or remember to relay the message to my Dad). Anyhow, I digress. I have knee pain, I mean the kind of knee pain that causes me to have trouble walking. I don't claim to be a tuff-y like my Lilly, but I don't usually crumble under the pain. But let me tell you , I don't know what I did, but I did it good! So in comes the great part about being a doctor's daughter....I get to have treatment on my knee as often as I need, at whatever time I can get there, and at no cost. So from yesterday of not being able to walk without a sever limp, to walking nearly normal today....I would say I'm one lucky gal. Not to mention that my Mom is ever ready to keep Lilly busy so I can treat my knee. Here's to a quick recovery for these ole knees, and hoping to put some more miles on them by 9/5 (that will be like 2 weeks off running, and in my world that's like a life time). Thanks Mom and Dad!

Almost back.
Hoop Hole...I mean Pole Creek.
Ever have a place you've got to and talked about for years only to find out that it's got a different name. For years I have called this place Hoop Hole Creek, as a child we would go "giggin" for flounder (we never caught anything), and in recent times I have taken Lilly back for hikes and runs. Well when we went last weekend....I discovered that it was actually called Hoop Pole Creek! Oh, well! My folks and I took Lilly for her evening walk at the "creek" for a change of scene. We stopped for some ice cream on the way and Lilly just loves to walk and eat ice cream! We made it nearly to the end when I realized that at high tide some of the path is covered! Lilly did not mind at all, in fact it was hard to get her to come back. She's a water baby through and through! We are hoping to continue to enjoy the out of doors while the weather holds out!

With some of my mom's family visiting we decided to do some beachtime and even surf a bit! It was a great evening for riding some small waves, and just having a great time. Good thing they are here to help me and Lilly get our minds off of our bestest friends heading home to Australia this week. We miss them dearly!!!

She climbs in to a box and then gets stuck!

Removes her diaper and climbs in a chair laughing!

Accessorizes to the extreme!



When the house gets quiet; the kid is up to no good!
