I am in awe of this miracle. Fortune shined down upon us!!! She is healthy which is the most important thing, but it doesn't hurt that she is damn cute too.
Although we would never wish away this time of innocence and sweetness, we all look forward to sharing "big girl" stuff with Lilly. DISNEYLAND YOU BETTER WATCH OUT BECAUSE PLANS ARE ALREADY IN THE WORKS!!!
Poppie Al said, "To Lilly Poppins, as you will be addressed by Poppie Poppins, (gampa Al), because you are perfect in every way, I have this to say......
SUPERCALAFRAGA LILLY EXPIALA DOODLE IF YOU SAY IT LOUD ENOUGH , WE'LL HAVE SOME APPLE STRUDEL. (on our way to Disneyland)
Say nanight,
I love you, Poppie"
Hee hee! That really makes me giggle!
My grandparents used to take me to Disneyland when I would come out for the summer from Texas. That was way back, when rides required tickets. Space Mountain needed the highest level and I am sure something like The Canoe Ride (due to manual labor) was the lowest. 
It was before the 100s of characters were created, although I have to say, the originals did and still do, do the job. Disneyland then, was a place where something like Fantasmic was unfathomable just as much as snow on Mainstreet. And yet it thrilled me enough that I wanted to shout it from the rooftops everytime I got to go. Other differences are The Submarine Ride, which scared the pants off of me, and has now been completly transformed to Nemo's World not to mention the Monorail which now makes a stop at Down Town Disney (a little somethin' for the parents).
Alas, we must exercise patience. In her own good time she will be ready but I can't wait to experience Disneyland with Lilly. How could I not? I have been able to share it with the most important people in my life, throughout my life. I can now sleep the night before going, but I will completly understand if she can't. And, by the way, she already has a "Princess in Training" outfit. Believe me, Mommy did not buy that!
Lilly Poppins
(esta entrada se trata de la película de Disney, Mary Poppins)
Aunque nunca deseo que se acabe este tiempo de dulzura e inocencia, todos estamos entusiasmados de compartir cosas de jovencita con Lilly. ¡¡¡PREPÁRATE DISNEYLANDIA, PORQUE YA EMPEZAMOS LOS PLANES DE NUESTRA VISITA!!!
Poppie Al dijo, "A Lilly Poppins, así seras llamada por tu Poppie Poppins, (abuelo Al), porque eres perfecta en todas tus formas, tengo esto que decirte......
SUPERCALAFRAGI LILLY ESPIALA DOSO, SI LO DICES DURO, COMEREMOS UN ESTRUDEL (en camino a Disneylandia)
Buenas Noches,
Te quiero, Poppie"
Ja ja! Esto me da risita!
Mis abuelos antes me llevaban a Disneylandia cuando los visitaba en Tejas durante los veranos. Eso fue hace mucho tiempo, cuando para subirse a las ruedas tenias que entregar un boleto. La montaña Rusa "Montaña del Espacio" usaba mas boletos que cualquier otra rueda, y recuerdo que algo como el vueltín de la Canoa usaba menos boletos (por la razón del trabajo manual necesario para esa rueda)
Eso fue antes de que inventaron a los 100s de caricaturas, aunque, tengo que decir que para mi, las caricaturas originales eran y todavía son suficientes. Disneylandia en ese tiempo fue un lugar en donde la demostración de Fantasmic (que es un show con cuetes y luces que hacen en la noche, con todo un desfile) era impensable, igual como la nieve en Mainstreet (la calle central de Disneylandia). Pero siempre me emocionaba tanto que quería gritarlo cada vez que me tocó ir. Otras diferencias son la rueda del submarino, que en ese tiempo me asusto tremendamente, y hoy a sido transformado completamente al mundo de Nemo, y ni voy a mencionar el Monocarril que hoy hace una parada en Down Town Disney (es como el centro de una cuidad, algo para los adultos).
Pero, necesitamos armarnos de paciencia. En su tiempo estará lista para ir, pero no me aguanto por compartir la experiencia de Disneylandia con Lilly. ¿Y como pudiera aguantarme? Tuve la oportunidad de compartirlo con la gente que me importa mas en este mundo, durante toda mi vida.
Hoy puedo dormir la noche antes de ir a Disneylandia, pero voy a entenderla completamente si Lilly no puede. Y, a propósito, ya tiene un trajecito de "princesa en el entrenamiento". Les aseguro que Mamá no le compró eso!
So Lilly did come, life goes on for Chicky Baby and we are now proud parents.
We have run the gauntlet of grandmas, survived the onslaught of onlookers and swam through the sea of yea-sayers. So let it be said that all of our visitors have been wonderful and Lilly has been quite the hostess. What to do now? Settle into a “routine” of course. Will we ever know the meaning of the word again?
Sleep deprivation is a doozie! I woke one day to find that Rene was so tired that he put the Pringles away in no other place than the freezer. 
I can’t remember the last time I did anything and we are shells of ourselves. But a big ol’ but: It truly is worth it! Our little Lovey (what my Grandma Natalie used to call me) has got magnetism! I can say that for sure because I can’t get a grab in edgewise when there is someone else in the room. Lilly’s feet will most likely never touch the ground, as they say, because of all the adoring Holders around.
