Our First Blog!

Welcome to the DwyerClan Blog!
This is where you can catch up on all of the happenings of our new family!

Lillian Adele Dwyer was born August 22, 2008 at 12:15am. She is the first granddaughter on both sides of the family, and is the first great-granddaughter of George's grandma, Shirley.

It was a healthy pregnancy, fairly easy delivery (I bet you'd never put easy AND delivery together!), quick recovery, and she is now a healthy baby Girl!

To get you up to speed, Lilli is a strong girl- sitting in her Bumbo alone since she was 6 weeks old, giggling and coo-ing at her daddy reading to her, and gaining strength while enjoying Tummy Time. She loves to sit in her Bumbo and watch her Mommy and Daddy cook in the kitchen and LOVES getting her diaper and clothes changed. If she's fussy, we can put her on her changing table and suddenly she's smiling and coo-ing! (George is a little concerned at how much she loves getting her clothes taken off! LOL)

Lilli is getting baptized on December 6 in Naperville, IL. We are fortunate to have family and friends coming in from around the country for this special event, not to mention the great group of friends that we have here in Chicagoland that will be attending as well. Lilli will be wearing the same baptismal gown that her Great Uncle, Grandpa, Auntie Aimee, and Mommy wore for their baptisms. It is over 60 years old!

I go back to work December 1 at Nordstrom in dowtown Chicago. George is enjoying his new job as Operations Manager for Relevant Radio downtown. We are currently on a daycare hunt...not fun because that means I have to leave her soon! But, it is fun to see the response we've gotten. I put a post on Craig's List and there has been quite a bit of activity since Sunday! So I've been busy setting up PlayDates (aka interviews) for us.

I hope to update this blog with the fun happenings of our little family often!
Hugs and Love to all!
Julie, George, and Lilli
