Lily Joy was born on 9/11/08. It's nice being essentially obligated to spend 9/11 with a joyous group of children and tolerant adults, rather than focusing on the grim realities of the warfighting engendered by the terrorist attacks that preceded Lily Joy's birth by seven years.
Which is an overly complicated way of saying I had fun at Lily's birthday party. She got a playhouse for her birthday, which is pretty awesome. Also a ballet barre (cleverly made of PVC pipes, by her clever father), and a music box from us. Lots of other stuff, too (including the unitard that she is modeling in one of the photos, below).
Speaking of photos! The photos may look a bit odd because they were taken with one of these camera-phone apps that applies an old-timey filter to each picture. I really like the effect of this particular filter, although it's not ideally suited to a child's third birthday party. However, my regular phone cam stopped working and this was my only option. Turned out OK.
