Dorothy Schaper

In my time at Edward Jones, I have met so many people and have considered it a pleasure to help them with anything. Dorothy and her husband, Tiny were such a wonderful couple. I'll never forget the day Dorothy came in and told me Tiny died. And I've always tried to be super sensitive to Dorothy's physical needs as she had several health issues herself. She thanked me so many times for helping her after Tiny died and really, it was my pleasure. She insisted she wanted to get something for me to say thank you. I insisted it wasn't necessary.

She did not agree. And since I wouldn't allow her to do anything for me, she bought something for Lilly. Unfortunately, she died before being able to give it to Lilly. Dorothy's daughter and granddaughter brought it to me recently. Lilly adores her horse. It was so sweet. And not at all surprising considering the gift giver.

My Street Wise Hercules

Our favorite boy, Cole had a super hero birthday party. And I'm not sure what she was more excited about: seeing Cole or the party. She rode the whole way to the party holding his gift with great care.

The Heffingtons had a slip and slide for the little kids which looked like fun! And Tom O'Brien did a great job pushing them. And one would think this would be enough for Lilly.
But the Heffingtons (who could be crazy) also rented this monstrosity of a water slide.
And of course, Lilly wanted to go down it.
I didn't get a photo of her coming down because I was extremely nervous and prepared to rescue her. And even though there was all of this fun around, her all time favorite thing was the super hero cape Kristin made!

Hill Play

Some random photos Papa took of Lilly playing on the hill.


My new screen saver at work. I just love this photo!

Happy Birthday!

That time of year came around... again. Yep, I turned 32! (again....) Aunt Cathy, Mimi, and Papa were in town so they helped Lilly bake a cake.
She really does love to bake; even if it includes a box mix!

And of course, the best part is getting to eat it!
I don't know. I think she enjoyed it. She's simply adorable. Thank you Lilly for making my birthday so special!
