My daughter – Lily

I never imagined that 17 years would pass so quickly but it has!

I have two kids -Dakota who is 27, married to lovely Joelle with their two kids, my grandkids – Rylen and Oliver (you will see more of them in the Maternity posting) and Lily.

Dakota and Lily are 10 years apart.  When Dakota graduated 10 years ago I kept telling my husband that it will be a long time before Lily walks across the stage – well here we are!

In 4 short months, she will receive her diploma – hopefully in person – and then she will be off on the next chapter of her life with her love Oren.

Below are my favorite of Dakota and Lily’s senior photos.

Dakota – 2011

Lily – 2021

Here are the rest of the people Dakota and Lily have brought into our family :).

Dakota’s family – Joelle & Rylen & Oliver (still cooking but born 11 days after this photo session)

The stunning Joelle

The grandbabies – Rylen (who calls me Gigi) and Oliver (named for my grandfather)

Lily’s Oren joined our family two years ago and he fits our family like a glove.
