Chef Lucy

We tried making homemade pizza last week. Lucy had a blast and it tasted pretty good!

Oh Sister!

After three devastating miscarriages last year we are so thrilled to announce...

LUCY IS HAVING A BABY SISTER!!

Our sweet blessing is due to arrive just in time for Halloween. We are amazed and humbled that God has allowed us to grow our family. I am reduced to tears nearly every time I feel my sweet daughter move within me. Please continue to pray for us!


Lucy's first reaction to the news there would be another girl around was, "No! Baby brother!" She has warmed up to the idea and now thinks every little baby girl is HER baby sister. She will also proudly lift her shirt to show anyone the baby in HER tummy.

"Swimmin' in da pool"

Lucy has been begging to swim in "da pool" lately. I bought our first little plastic pool last week. She had her first experience in it this afternoon and had a blast!

Birthday Bust

Sweet Lucy began her birthday weekend with a surprise throw up for Mommy and Daddy on Thursday morning! She continued with a fever and a serious runny nose! We decided late in the day to cancel her party. We were so sad to do that. We had planned to have both play groups over on Friday (her actual b-day). John's parents came in Thursday and it was so nice to have them here. They really helped make the day special. Lucy was feeling a bit better on Friday and seemed to really love her Mickey Mouse cake.

BIG smile and Bunny Dress

Lately when I ask Lucy to give me a big smile I get to see this adorable face! It is priceless. I was a bad mom and didn't get a picture of Lucy in her Easter dress (we were running late to church) but I did get a picture of her in her bunny dress for the Easter egg hunt at school.
