Lucy's hair

I guess since I see Lucy everyday and do her hair, I don't really realize just how long it's gotten.  However it seems like I get comments everyday from friends and strangers about how long her hair is, which makes me look around at other kids her age and realize how true it is!  I'm lucky she sits still and lets me do her hair everyday.  I definitely had to train her to be that way from the very beginning, while using bribes like treats and tv shows, but now it's super quick and easy.  Oh I love having girls!

I have no say anymore

Lucy has a definite and very strong opinion every day about what she wears.  I dread getting dressed for the day just because it could easily turn into a massive meltdown just from the first thing I suggest.  Talk about drama!  So, rain boots to the pool and winter coats on hot/humid days.  Sure.  Whatever!

Lucy in the grass

She seriously cracks me up.  One day while I was chasing her in the grass during Claire's nap, she just stopped, laid down and said "take picture!" and then moved into a few different poses without me telling her to.  She just felt the desire to model it out right there on the grass with her eyes closed. ha!

Memorial Day

We usually go to the zoo during the day while dad is at work, but on Memorial Day he got to join us (along with the rest of Columbus).  It was a lot of fun and Lucy loved having dad there.  Later on that day, our awesome neighborhood had a BBQ potluck and hung out for a while in the evening.  It was great to meet a lot of our new neighbors and hang with our friends that have been here with us for a while too!  Poor Lucy ended the day with a super high fever that lasted an entire week.  Seeing her face in some of the mustache pictures makes me feel so bad for her just remembering holding her later that night as she was sad and lethargic and burning up.  Sick kids is a very sad thing.

A few days prior to Memorial Day, my friend Bobbi invited us over to make the t-shirt with Lucy's handprint that you see in this picture.  It was a fun activity but confirmed that Lucy does not like messy hands (which I am totally okay with!)

Claire

I love when she falls asleep on my lap.  There aren't many things better than a sleeping baby!

 I love how just something new to her, like a pot with a few items in it, can keep her entertained for a while.

Me and the girls!

I love my girlies and their fun, goofy, crazy, and sweet personalities!

We had a family pizza night outside a few weeks ago.  It was so great to enjoy the nice weather outside and spend some quality family time together doing something just a little bit different.
