February has been one big blur! Unfortunately, Olav's sister, Lily's Tante Britt died expectantly. So we had nearly 3 weeks without Daddy! During Daddy's absence, both Lily and Ashton had the stomach bug two times! Poor things!
Lily did not make the honors chorus, but we are super proud of her for trying. She is the understudy in case one of the two girls can't fulfill their commitment.
Lily continues to well in school showing progress in all areas! The area I am most proud of is all her learning behaviors! She is mature beyond her years! Such an amazing young lady!
Lily is a voracious reader! She can down an entire book in just a few sittings! She also loves to write historical fiction! While Daddy was gone she was working on a book taking place in the 1930's with westward expansion!
Lily continues to be an old soul. She is all about fairness, justice, and righteousness! She has strong convictions about what is right and just. Unfortunately, she is learning the hard way that life is full of unfairness.
She also has a strong mothering soul. Sometimes she can mother to death! We constantly remind her she doesn't have to "be the mama". I am sure her little brother can attest, however she is an amazing babysitter, for sure to be the richest teen on the block!
