What is she thinking? Honestly does Lilia not know that when you come check on a baby and see this you have a heart attack? Or in the case of Brad, you panic for a second, realize the baby is breathing then leave the room laughing hysterically to go get your wife so you can both giggle at your silly baby. All I can say is I promise I didn't put her to bed like that. Brad and I have decided that her sleep habits are definitely something she didn't inherit from the Pettys. I love to be smothered in blankets and Brad needs "cold air" to breathe and one foot sticking out from under the covers. Either way, I hope she stops this new little trick of hers.

March Madness
March really has been madness, so fun-filled that I hardly know how to start. On March 15th one of my dear best friends, Elise, got married and I was able to fly out for a quick trip to Utah to be part of it. Many tears of joy were shed for how wonderful it was to be a part of that day. Here are some pictures of the reception with old roommate buddies. I realized when I got home that I didn't get any pictures with Elise and I...which is craziness, but I know her photographer got some good ones so I will post some eventually.

Lilia's new trick...standing on her own!! I really think she will walk before she crawls...crazy girl.
This past week our friends Keely and Brandon Glenn came to visit us. Keely and I danced together at BYU and Brandon and Brad have become buddies as a result. Now...our babies have become buddies as well! This is Lilia and Lincoln. They are only three weeks apart and they had a blast playing together. This morning Lilia wanted my undivided attention whilst I was trying to clean up the dishes and I was really missing the fact Lincoln wasn't there so they could play together. I talked to Keely later this afternoon and she said the same thing.
Lincoln got a little excited to try out Lilia's lap....as you can see she loved it.
More dance craziness! Oh and look at that tree, it was so beautiful. I love the spring and fall here in VA because the trees are huge and they last even longer than they did in Utah. Dream come true. Now if they just had some huge mountains I'd be set.
Baby Lincoln dancing in front of his namesake (that is the Lincoln monument behind us). Lilia is somewhere behind that windbreaker.
National Art Gallery...this is the only picture I have with all four of us. I love that painting behind us by Chuck Close. It was painted using his fingerprints - love the creativity.
From L to R - Danielle, Rem, Tamara (holding little Tyson), Me, Melissa (holding Lilia) and her new hubby Jake.
We love it when people come into town and stay with us because it gives us a good reason to go downtown. It is always dangerous to get two dancers together...we can't help but make a scene, especially in front of the nation's capitol.
Our capitol tour! Lilia really like chewing on the neck strap. I felt kinda bad for the next person to get our ear phones because it was definitely soaking when I gave it back to them.

Artist Interrupted
You may have noticed my fancy little dancer button on the side of our blog (compliments of my talented friend Elizabeth). Yes, I am a crazy dancer...and musician, and you would think that having miss Lilia would have wrung out every last bit of creative energy. While it almost has...luckily there is still a drop left. I have some crazy friends who have a drop of energy themselves and together we have compiled our craziness into awesomeness. I am pleased to introduce our next little project.
please feel free to visit the new DC blog and take a look at our national website. I am planning to attend the conference in ohio and perform a dance duet which my friend Keely and I are choreographing long distance over skype (we'll see how this goes), as well as (crossing my fingers) a violin solo.
I think it has really lifted my "Holly" spirits to be involved in this. I can't wait to see where it goes.
