March 29, 2009 - Lucy's 1st birthday party
(This picture makes me teary eyed every time I look at it. She looks like a little girl. John and I agree this picture gives us a small glimpse at our daughter as a big girl.)

Her new car! She LOVED it! Especially the straps!

John's super sweet parents, Roger and Patty Niemann, who drove all the way from Texas for Lucy's party!

We had a rubber duckie themed bash since they are Lu's favorite toy.

Happy Birthday!! We celebrated a little early this year (Lu's birthday is 4/9) because John may have to travel on Lu's birthday.

Make a wish! She was a little freaked out by the flame but had fun with the cupcake.

Fun times!

This is pure joy to me. I love this little girl so much. I had no idea a child could make my heart fill this full.
