Happy Sunday

Just a quick post to say Happy Sunday! Check out Kylie in her Winnie the Pooh Skirt and shirt (with some squash as an accessory).

Also, here is a video of her today just being Kylie. Smiley Kylie!

Safe Driver

Thursday and Friday, my friend and colleague Kelly was instrumental in helping to get Kylie to and from school. I had a trip that took me to Boston and I knew I would be out of the office on Thursday. Brian thought about taking off of work and staying home with Kylie. For those of you that don't know the area, the daycare at Royal Caribbean is 40 miles south of our house. If Brian were to take Kylie this would mean almost four hours in the car. In came Safe Driver Kelly to the rescue.

Knowing that we had a reliable driver to help us out, I was able to fly from Boston to Atlanta to be with my Dad after his recent surgery. It means so much to have someone to help us out with Kylie and we are very grateful. Kelly's secret: SHHH Books on Tape, they seem to lull Kylie to sleep.


Thanks Kelly! Soon you will have your own little bundle of Joy in the car!

3 am

Last night about 3 am we heard this odd tapping noise. We thought it was someone outside the house and got concerned. We looked right away at the monitor to make sure Kylie was okay. Sure enough she was fine and laying wide awake in her bed. We continued to watch her with the same conversation like isn't it your turn to go and check her etc. As we were talking, Kylie rolled over onto her tummy and turned on her fish thing. Her trying to turn it on was the tapping noise that woke us up. After she turned it on she laid on her side and put herself back to sleep. It was the cutest thing EVER! I hope she always figures out how to put herself back to sleep when she wakes up in the night.

Here is a example from this weekend of her realizing she can turn the fish thing on and off.. Send batteries!!!

Walk for Animals 2009

Today Kylie, Mac, our friend Wendy and I did the Walk for Animals for the Broward Humane Society in Fort Lauderdale. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time with the 2,000 plus dogs and what seemed like millions of humans. Thanks to all our friends and family for their support of the Broward Humane Society, the Lum family not only met our goal but exceeded it!

Kylie Ready for the Walk in her Pooh Outfit and matching shoes

The Three of Us (Brian was there in spirit as he was at a vball tournament)
When does this thing start??
I am a little hot, I need to pull up my pants and Mac wants to jump in the water


Wendy and Kylie at the Finish Line.
Check out the last picture to see how exhausted Kylie was from the walk!

Daddy's back...

I finally have returned from a week up in New Jersey/New York for work and then a weekend of coaching volleyball in Orlando. Wow, how time flies and Kylie continues to grow. She has now developed this shreaking laugh whenever she gets excited. Mac, our dog, use to think he was the biggest noise maker, but now he has some competition! Here are some pictures of her new volleyball towels!

Kylie first sleeping...

Kylie now awake and wondering what are these new towels about!
"Dad, can I play volleyball one day?"

"Dad, why are you putting these towels on my head."
