Our typical summer Sunday evening

We love the direction our house faces because the backyard is shaded in afternoon/evenings.  We love to take out a blanket and some chairs on the grass and just hang out all evening.  It's awesome because Lucy loves being outside and will stay happy for SO much longer if we are outdoors.  And it often involved popsicles. :)  

This was Lucy's first taste of a popsicle, followed by her reaction.  Despite the scrunched face, she loved it:
 This particular Sunday we skyped with some family too (hence the ipad).  Also, Ryan had a painful kidney stone the day before (hence the large water bottle).
 Then comes bath time, which Ryan is always in charge of, and Lucy loves to snuggle up to him after she is all warm in her towel.  It's funny because she kicks like crazy when you take her out of the water until she is all wrapped up in her towel and as soon as you pick her up she just stays like that in your arms as content as can be.
 ...unless you're trying to take a picture of it, and then she busts out of it all and goes crazy. :)
A good night and Goodnight!

Poor Ryan I didn't know about that.
Where did you get your chairs? Walmart?

She looks so snuggly after her bath and her smile on the couch with you is so cute

Oh gooser! How we love you! I loved these little updates. I didn't know lulu's worry about grass, I love the little story of her lifting up her legs. Such a cutie! I had no idea that Ryan had Kidney Stones, apparently I do NOT ask the right questions when I talk with you guys...or I just talk too much. sorry.
