4 1/2 years later and they are still not friends. Pheobe (bird) joined our family in 2002 when George and I got married. Beaker joined us in 2004 when George was deployed for the second time. You would think after all this time they could learn to get along!
Ok..so they share some sentimental moments, but mostly fight when Phoebe comes out of her cage (which is rarely). Today she was out only because I MADE her come out to clean her cage.
Lilly has also discovered that sunglasses are super cool now (we couldn't keep them on her for even a nano-second this summer). Now she enjoys putting them in her purse and wearing them around the house. 
Lillian had such a great time on Halloween! Thanks to cousin Abby for such an AWESOME costume!
By the end of the night she had the hang of walking up to the porch and saying her version of trick or treat. Unfortunately she also learned that everyone thought it was cute if she said "more" and would give her more!!! We'll have to work on that next year because she came home with LOTS of candy that neither she or mommy and daddy need.
She wanted NOTHING to do with carving the pumpkin this year. However, she wanted lots of pictures with the jack-o-lantern once it was done. She learned a few weeks ago for picture day to say "cheese". So now we get this really "cheesy" grin for all of our pictures!
