the dress
At the beginning of October, my nephew Jon & his fiance Heather are getting married! We're very excited for the wedding & we've been searching for a cute dress for the last few weeks. I had a little bit of a tough time finding a dress to go along w/ the black & white color scheme, but finally found this one on Ebay that fit the bill. It's very girly & very "bootifuwl" {as Lydie puts it}. Black velvet on top & silk & tulle on the bottom with pretty flowers & beads {or butterflies, depending who you ask} sewn around the skirts layers. LOVE IT. At first I thought it might be too dressy, but figured, hey, it's not very often we get to dress up for such a special occasion. It's not the best pic of it here, but had to capture her in the moment. She had to run outside where Dan was working this night & show him how pretty she was. "Daddy, dad, dad... wook at wydia & her bootifuwl dwess!"
Lydia's been very into her clothes lately {the boys too!}. She has been frequently going into her dresser & pulling out stuff to look at, sometimes putting various pieces on & off or just making a mess in general! I took her to Target the other day to look at fall clothes & she kept grabbing things off the racks & saying "this is cute" & throwing it in the cart. Then I'd say. "look at this Lyd, this is cute, do you think we should get it?" to which her response was "yah, that's cute or ummmm, let's see... NO!" Yep, that's my girl! It is WAY too much fun buying girly clothes!
