Kitty!!!

Lucy loves her kitties! Her version of the word kitty comes out "kkkkkkccchhhhhhh!", but we all know what she means. We got her the Planet Earth dvds for her birthday and today she made the noise when the pumas were on. Basically everything with four legs, a tail, and a slightly furry coat gets an enthusiastic point and a loud "kkkkkkccchhhhhhh!"

It was so nice today. We took Lucy on a stroll through the woods. She enjoyed the walk and had lots to say on the way. It was almost as if she was telling us how the world worked. It's pretty neat hearing it from her perspective.

We got four ghost shrimp for her little aquarium today. I let her name them, and they are all named "Up." It's pretty convenient since they all look alike.

Easter Eggs

After Lucy woke up from her nap this afternoon, we dyed Easter eggs! I did not have any egg dye in the house, so we improvised with some Crayola finger paints. I thought they turned out pretty neat. Lucy was really enjoys when I get the paints out. She likes to paint everything. The highchair is a lovely shade of green right now.

I can't believe Easter is a week from today! 2010 is flying by faster than ever!

Adios, Daddy-o!

This morning Jon left for the Bahamas. He's only going to be gone for the day, but Lucy had a hard time with him leaving. I think she's getting more aware of when the garage opens and the car starts. Poor thing. It took me awhile to get her calmed down for snack. It was so nice having him home consistantly for the past week. Making the transition back to having him gone is always a hard one.

Hopefully it will be a quiet day at our house. I am on a mission to reorganize and simplify our house! It is driving me nuts to have clutter behind ever closet door. I want to start with my sewing stuff, but I'm sure that will lead to more sewing and no organizing!
 




Our garden is really taking off. I snapped this shot this morning while Lucy was reading her books. These are the tomato plants! I can't wait to get these little guys in the dirt out back. We have two Topsy Turvy Tomato Hangers that I am so anxious to try. Salsa anyone??

Making the transition

This is my first post on my new blog! I have been chronicling Lucy's life from my fifth week of pregnancy. She is now a whopping ONE year old, so I thought it was time to transition from a baby blog to a family blog. This blog will include more of my crafts, Jon's travels, and of course, Lucy's antics.

Thank you to all of my followers who have taken interest in my blog. I've decided to password protect our blog for security reasons. I need to know who is viewing our family!

Stay tuned for more!

wagon rides!

Lucy's first birthday is coming up. Grandma E sent her present a little early, and it was too hard not to tear into it. Lucy got a red wagon! She loves, loves, loves riding in it! It was so nice today, so I took her on a stroll through the back of the subdivision. According to my pedometer, it's about 1.3 miles! Lucy had a smile on her face the whole time, and even figured out how to make her wagon louder by holding a toy by the wheel. I'm sure everyone heard us coming from a mile away! Hopefully with all that fresh air, she'll take a long nap this afternoon.
