Rite of Passage


We're all familiar with the many rites of passages our children go through--first smile, first tooth, first steps....this year, Lily had an important rite of passage for our family--her first Comic-Con!! We all went down this year to preview night, and the kids had so much fun looking around at all the cool stuff. Lily was so excited to be old enough to go with everybody else....she wasn't so excited about how crowded it was. My little junior hoarder loved all the free swag and she spent a lot of time picking out the exactly perfect shirt to purchase--we had to criss cross to 3 different booths (all on opposite ends of the convention hall) to find the exact Justice League shirt in her size, but it was worth it!!

Lily and her "new favorite" superhero. She's outgrown The Flash and has decided that The Bats is her new guy! Mommy couldn't be any prouder.

Her awesome Justice League bag that's as big as her...filled to the brim with swag. She loves "stuff" and pretty much picked up anything that she could, even if she had no idea what it was.

Not the best picture, but...the only one we got. This is us in front of the Tardis. For lame people who don't know, the Tardis is the spaceship that The Doctor flies around in on our family fave show "Dr. Who". My kids were super stoked to see it, but it was so crowded we couldn't get the whole thing in the shot. Upon seeing it, Lily said "Oh my gosh, wouldn't it just be so amazing if David Tennant walked out of there right now?!" David Tennant is our favorite actor to play the Doctor in the show. Yes, we raise nerds.

Cutest nerds and nerdlets ever! Someday, I want to go, too; but probably not until Devyn's kids are big enough to go..
